Unquestionably one of Australia’s top ‘young guns’, Ewan Jaspan has stormed through the ranks these past couple of years.

Ewan came through the Kite republic Schools program in September, 2007. He was never one to complain and get frustrated at being unable to pick something up. On these occassions we would have to pretty much drag him off the water as darkness fell upon St Kilda.

He was never content with small steps forwards. His will and motivation to improve have been evient from the start and it is this drive that saw him begin to start showing great results early on in his young career. Only a year after starting Kiteboarding he became the 2008/2009 Victorian Junior Champion, having an absolute blinder of a final taking down Linc, his partner in crime.

Constantly pushing each other to the limits Ewan and Lincoln continue to improve at maximum speed.

After only a couple of years competing, Ewan is no longer seen as one of the 'new' guys. He is now continually obtaining results that rival, if not outperform any Australian’s that have taken to competitive kiting.

Ewan is the current Victorian Open Men’s Freestyle Champion, Victorian Junior Freestyle Champion, Australian Open Men’s 3^rd ranked freestyle kiter, Australian Junior 2^nd ranked freestyle kiter, he has beaten the 2 x KPWT World Champion in the Kiter-X Final at the Australian Championships and he has won himself a berth in the PKRA World Tour Event to be held in December 2010. Not bad for somebody that’s only been kiting for a couple of years and only just turned 16!

Along with Ewan’s drive and undeniable talend on a kiteboard, he continues to help other juniors getting into the sport. Ewan, along with the rest of the Kite Republic Junior Team  have worked with many juniors and adults alike in everything from basic tips to keeping power in the kite, to helping them land world class moves, they are all very popular around the beaches in Melbourne.

Ewan is a great ambassador, not only for the sport of Kiteboarding, but also for his sponsors… Kite Republic, Naish, ION, and SolRX.
