David Attenborough?! Next level production y’all. Great story telling as well and I especially like the respect given to those who shaped the sport. Nice work and thank you!
Thank you Jeffrey!
Very sad that the Cape Town BAKL event had to be cancelled for lack of sponsorship, especially for the women who don't have too many other events.
Awesome! And great filmmaking displayed here!
I’m glad locally to see a pretty even split between men and women riders, room to grow though for sure.
Hopefully more folks can support and create more room for them as time goes on both in the competitive and more casual spaces.
That's awesome! Yes just being supportive and encouraging of eachother goes a long way ❤️
it is very good that guys can come together and speak, despite the fact that they are sponsored by different brands :) before the community and content creation was so closed
Amazing!
Can't wait to see the first Queen of The Air !!! But Angely will still be my first Queen of the Air 💪
For us too!!!
Let's go 🎉
Angely is badass !!!
Its like we are looking down on women who don't do big air. I have two that are fairly inspiring to watch and make me want to copy or go bigger b/c they are just that good. I'm fine with 7-10m. Big Air isn't that impressive, anyone with practice can do it, its the small technical tricks low on the water that make Kitesurfing/boarding great and more enjoyable. Its dominated by men b/c men typically try to outdo each other in size and scope of things. Women do too but not to the degree men do. At my spot, there is maybe 5-10 girls kiting and 1-2 will go big. ON the other hand out of the 150 guys that kite,100 are trying to get high or do something big, even the ones broken over the years. in the winter, i have yet to see one female on water and I am on beach most of the time when wind strikes. Instead of a KOTA with 1 or 2 women competing amonghs the men, why not have a QOTA. That would be impressive and the women could stand out instead of drowned out by majority ofmen.
Amazing!!!!?
Pippa is so famous that she has her own Wikipedia page 😉
LOL. Sounds like an AI Attenborough.
First can I get pinned
