It's good to see that we are slowly getting closer and closer to the guys level. I like the fact that we girls have more to show instead of only tricks or bikini posing. We know how to make people get interested in kiting, especially guys, haha!Because they think "oh if SHE can do it, I can for sure do it as well,” that's called motivation, and that's what I like the most about being a kite girl. I like to motivate people to get into the sport; I like to share my passion with people. Sharing is caring!”
kaYLEIGh smIth, 12 YEaRs OLd, nEW kItEsuRfER (sOuth afRIca) “I love being a kite girl because it gives me the opportunity to let loose and show people what I am made. I love that I can prove that a girl is capable of anything. I love that when you fall, it is usually soft because the water impact is softer than the hard ground. My favourite part is that my dad pumps up my kite for me! Even though I am new to kitesurfing, I love it and nothing can take this obsession and deep desire away – it will live on forever!”
