Rider Profile: El Jeffe

ACE El Jeffe (aka Jeff de la Garza)is the only truely local WKC rider. Born and raised in Corpus Christi, he pretty much pulls rank when anyone starts talking like they are local. Respect. Retired from competition, he's settled down some with his hot wife Erica, but he's still bad-ass when it comes to kiteboarding and is considered to be one of the best riders in town. He's deadly in the waves with a surfboard and if you catch him on a twin tip day, he'll turn some heads riding freestyle.
