2002, Reider learning to kite
Reider started getting in the water to windsurf and fly kites when he was about nine years old. He took to windsurfing right away, riding on his own immediately. Kiting he still needed someone there to help hold him down. For about a year, Barton would tow Reider back upwind. By the time Reider was 10, he was riding on his own and by 11 he was already kiting in the surf

The first thing you'll notice when placing the Cypher V3 and V4 side by side is how different they look. The V3 features fuller rails and a noticeably thicker overall construction, while the V4 has evolved into a thinner, more refined shape.

Reider Decker from Hatteras Island Surf Shop (Hisswaves.com) is offering a close‑out sale on Airush kite surfboards—many under $400–$500 with free shipping—featuring a variety of models like the playful Mini Monster, versatile Comp and AMP boards (for waves, flat water, strapless, and freestyle), forgiving Cypher boards, and the rugged carbon OS‑1; plus, if you buy in person at the shop, you get an extra $50 off.

“FTN” is a raw, VHS-formatted look at strapless kitesurfing, capturing Reider Decker’s effortless skill and flow on the water. Shot on a Panasonic HVX200 with minimal planning, the film celebrates the artistry, raw skill, and subtle chaos of the sport.

The Airush Lift Team V3 is a high-performance big-air kite praised for its explosive lift, sustained hangtime, tight responsiveness, and lightweight, durable construction, making it ideal for advanced riders and loop enthusiasts. Tested by Reider Decker at Hatteras Island, it delivers control, stability, and forgiveness in both steady and gusty winds, making it a top choice for pushing limits in big-air kiteboarding.
