“If you go to just about any beach in the US, it’s likely you’ll meet someone who knows Shaun Bennett. Everyone’s excited when Shaun arrives with the latest and greatest North Kiteboarding and Mystic gear to try out. But there’s a lot more to Shaun than just a van full of gear. Shaun engages with the kite community more than almost any brand rep you’ll meet. You can tell he’s doing what he loves. He’ll often go above and beyond to share the stoke and the kite beaches wouldn’t be as fun without him.”
