I ASKED SOME OF THE OTHER FEMALE RIDERS OUT THERE TO TELL ME THEIR EX-<br />
PERIENCE OF BEING A FEMALE KITESURFER:<br />
JEssIca WInkLER,<br />
kItE InstRuctOR (tuRks and caIcOs)<br />
“Living in the Turks and<br />
Caicos where the water<br />
is shallow, warm and<br />
safe we typically have an<br />
equal number of women in<br />
the water as men. Spending<br />
the better part of ten<br />
years surrounded by men<br />
it gives new energy to the<br />
sport with women around.<br />
It takes the extreme out<br />
of it and calms the sport<br />
down into something fun<br />
everyone can do. The sport<br />
looks more approachable<br />
when the whole family is<br />
doing it. Being a female<br />
in a male dominated sport<br />
has given me the gift of<br />
patience and understanding<br />
when teaching. I know<br />
how scared and intimidated<br />
most women feel<br />
when learning and I do<br />
my best to ease their concerns.<br />
A lot of the women<br />
I’ve taught over the years<br />
have even become good<br />
friends of mine. It’s a wonderful<br />
way to bond and<br />
make new friends.”
