With an accounting degree from University of Portland and professional experience in the public accounting industry, you might not have guessed Amery to wind up as a successful kite designer.

​

Being born and raised in Maui, some kind of involvement in water sports was simply inevitable. A few years after getting his degree and winding up behind a desk, he decided to leave the hum-drum, sedentary lifestyle and pursue a less financially rewarding, but more personally fulfilling path in the kiteboarding industry.

​

After a short and successful retail and teaching experience combined with an equally success in the competition scene, Amery landed a sales rep position for Slingshot, one of the industry leaders.

​

Amery's innovative ideas and hard work ethic, combined with his teaching background and his technical understanding of the equipment landed him in Slingshot's R&D department where he worked and developed some of their most successful kites.

​

After developing groundbreaking designs at the base of the most popular products that exist in the industry today, Amery has joined KiteSurf.
