Adam Murray is a St Kida Rider orientated towards powerful, unhooked riding with consequence.

He sees kite boarding as a marriage of board sports as it combines elements from wakeboarding, surfing and snowboarding and creates a powerful new discipline.

He is currently completing his 3rd year of an architecture at Melbourne University, and spends every spare moment thinking about the wind. St Kilda bay is his local riding destination. "I have an aesthetic vision for kiteboarding and my close affiliation with photographer friend Lance Horowitz allows me to explore this on film."
