Life
Medysky started kiting when he was 9 years old. In 2004, he won the junior division at the 2004 Velocity Games. Since then he has become a 6-time Canadian National Champion and, since May 2009, a Best Kiteboarding International Team Rider.
After spending the 2009 winter training in Brazil, he made an impact in professional kiteboarding after winning a wild card entry to the 2009 Real Triple-S Invitational, a competition featuring the top professional kiteboarders held each year in Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.
For 2010 Medysky was invited back to the Triple-S Invitationa. To date he is one of only two Canadian riders to have been invited to this competition.
