2023 BIG AIR CHAMPION
Cohan van Dijk
About Cohan
Cohan van Dijk is one of the strongest forces in Big Air kiteboarding. His drive, his radical approach, and his need to keep pushing the sport forward have put him firmly among the top riders. His journey started early: when he was ten, his dad promised he could begin kiting as soon as he passed his swimming lessons. He finished them in the middle of a freezing Dutch winter - only to find kite school was closed. Determined, he convinced his dad to teach him anyway, learning to kite on the ice-cold waters of Holland.
That same determination carried him all the way to the biggest stages in the sport. He recently secured 3rd place at the 2025 Red Bull Megaloop, a result that highlights both his raw talent and his dedication. Whether he’s sending powerful tricks or coaching others, he keeps raising the level around him. His belief that progress comes from mindset drives him in everything he does, on and off the water.
Cohan's accomplishments:
RedBull King Of The Air 2025 - 3rd place
RB Megaloop 2025 – 3rd place
RB Qualifier Tarifa 2025 – 2nd place
RB Cold Hawaii 2024 – 3rd place

A Riders Quote
“When I can’t kite, I always find something else to do. At home I help my dad with work, and in summer I often switch to wakeboarding. When I’m traveling, I go to the gym if the wind drops. I also enjoy exploring new places through hiking or cycling and spending time with the kitesurf community.”
