For as long as I can recall, I have fantasized about riding for a major surf brand, and O’Neill has always been at the top of my list. This wasn’t just an ego thing, it was a fantasy that stemmed from wanting to share my relatively smaller sport (in comparison to surfing) with the world. Breaking into the surfing industry with a kite, especially in the USA, felt like a huge hurdle to overcome. But, somehow, I knew this would one day come to fruition, and after many years of hard and super fun work, it brings so much joy and honor to say that I have joined the ranks of Team O’Neill as the first US kiter.
Not just for myself but also for my sport, I hope to showcase how epic this approach to the water is, how much fun the community is and how much crossover there is between the surf and kite worlds.
Thank you O’Neill, for believing in me; I can’t wait for this new chapter to unfold.

“With multiple world titles under his belt, he is an absolute force in and out of the water. Jesse has an unrelenting urge to push the boundaries in all aspects of kiting, from riding the biggest waves at Nazare to soaring 60ft+ through the air and we couldn’t be happier to welcome Jesse to the Team O’Neill family.”
