Murray Aldrich:North Kiteboarding / KiteboardingUK.com Team Rider Murray Aldrich. Murray became our shop sponsored rider in 2005 and soon with our help, progressed to a Full North UK team rider. He has also been very lucky to travel extensively to many Kite camps and North training sessions. He is currently being mentored and trained by the Senior North riders including Dave Ibbertson current UK mens BKSA champion and the likes of Jamie Herraiz. Murray and his dad attended our kiteboarding school in 2004 and took the IKO BKSA 3 day course. Murray quickly fell for the sport, while dad Mark became Kite caddy and support team. We soon picked up on Murray's ability and enthusisiam and combined to support him on the BKSA tour. |
