How long kiteboarding? 4 Years

What made you want to kite? I got tired of watching my dad have all the fun on the water, while I was stuck sitting on windy beaches.

Favorite spots: Sherman Island, Wadell, La Ventana

Future spots to visit: Cabarete, DR, hopefully somewhere in Brazil, South Africa, Indonesia…Basically, the whole world!

Favorite move: Unhooked kiteloops, raley to blinds, unhooked front rolls, the girlie board grabs.

Riders you look up to improve: Bruna Kayjia, Aaron Hadlow, and all the young locals riders here in the bay [Evan Fairchild, Alex Smith].

Move you are currently working on: I’d like the raley to blinds to be a lot smoother, and definitely an S-Bend to blind…I’d love to land a blind judge one of these days.

Goals: To be as smooth and as powered as I can be in my riding…And to promote girls in kiteboarding, there are not enough…

Other hobbies: Snowboarding, Motocross occasionally, tanning…
