    David Blankenship

    A hiker, snowboarder, cyclist, and paddle boarder–David Blankenship, who was born and raised in Mexico and joined FORMA is 2018 with a background in Architecture, says his most serious addiction is kite surfing. With multiple sizes of kites for different wind conditions, a harness, a bar, a board, boots, and a good 5:4 wetsuit for extra cold water–David is kite surfing at least once a week in the winter, fall, and spring–and more like every day in the summer. David kites in the Sound and along the coast from Mexico to BC on winds from 12 to 50 knots and recommends it enthusiastically as a life-changing sport and a great distraction after a long work day.
