Aaron Hadlow
Encyclopedia
Aaron Hadlow is a professional kiteboarder who has won the Pro Kiteboard Riders' Association (PKRA) World Championships five times.
Despite his stalwart domination of the sport from 2004–2008, the 21-year-old encountered big competition in the form of Ruben Lenten and Kevin Langeree in 2006. The other riders are catching up to Hadlow's vast trick vocabulary, offering Double Handlepass Mobe 7's (or "Mobius 720s") in competition.
He also won the Red Bull KitePunks event in 2007, held in La Manga, Spain, beating off stiff competition from Ruben Lenten in 2nd, and Neil Hilder in 3rd.
Aaron has continued to expand his repertoire of tricks to keep him in front of the competition. A lot of these tricks have stemmed from influences by Lewis Crathern and Neil Hilder, who are a part of recently-created Team Bosch alongside Hadlow. Many of his new tricks involve an "ole" move, where the bar and lines are whipped over head - the first of which was the Bosch Mobe.
He is sponsored mainly by Flexifoil
