With his father's unwavering support, driving him across Australia to compete, James wasn't just participating; he was dominating. Sponsors came calling, and the gates to the GKA World Tour swung wide open for him.
"I'm super competitive," he admits, but it's more than just a desire to win. It's about standing tall in the face of a challenge, feeling the adrenaline rush of competition, and ending each day victorious. His first year on the tour was a test, finishing 10th, but it only fueled his determination. By 2019, he climbed to 3rd place, and by 2020, at just 21 years old, James claimed his spot as the world's number one kitesurfer.
