About the Owners

At Downwinder Kiteboarding Co, we're not just a kiteboarding company -- we're adventurers at heart. Founded by a couple of outdoor enthusiasts with a passion for an active lifestyle, we have always been drawn to the thrill of exhilarating sports.

Eryn and Scott met at the University of Florida in 2018, where Eryn was a member of the wakeboarding team, and Scott a member of the surf club. When we moved to the Gulf Coast of Florida, where we could not surf, we needed to pick up a new board sport. With a number of great kiting spots in the area, the sport is popular here, and so kiteboarding we learned!

Inspired by the rush of kiteboarding and our shared love for the sport, we set out to create a brand that embodies the spirit of this dynamic sport and allows us (and our fellow kiteboarders) to rep this rad sport! Our mission is simple: to provide stylish and premium apparel to kiteboarders that reflects our adventurous spirits while helping to grow the sport. 

So join us as we embark on this exciting adventure together. Welcome to Downwinder, where passion meets quality, and every day is an opportunity to chase the wind and live life to the fullest.

To all of our fellow kiteboarders, we hope you love our gear as much as we do! Happy shredding, Eryn & Scott
