About Us

Here at PKS Distribution, we are dedicated to the enjoyment of kitesurfing at every level. Our location affords us the ability to ride nearly every day of the year. Since we are rider owned and operated our dedication to the development of the sport is truly apparent. We work closely with many manufacturers of kite equipment and accessories to develop our sport in a safe and performance oriented manner. Born out of a small kite production operation started by Jeff Howard, Prokitesurf Distribution has progressed into a distributor and design team of high end kiteboarding products. 

Jeff Howard (Owner / PASA Master Instructor trainer / Designer/Pro rider)-Jeff has been involved with all facets of kiteflying starting with design of sport kites moving then to buggy racing and it's latest reincarnation - kitesurfing. Jeff has taken a real role in the global kitesurfing community.  If you have questions about anything, from gear to how to fly anything you can think of, he's got the answers.

Patrick Daugherty-(Online Sales/Web design/Instructor)- Besides doing most of our web work, Patrick is our Head Instructor and has been kitesurfing for seven years and working with Jeff for five years.  He is on the water every chance he gets.  No joke.  If there's wind, he's kitesurfing, if there's waves, he's surfing, and if there's neither waves nor wind he's on a Sensei trainer with a longboard skateboard.  He's an animal.
