Freestyle Kiteboarding Like a Girl: Like Two Drops of water

The phrase '
' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Like a Girl' has been copping a bit of flak lately, so when we say Gisela Pulido and Paula Novotná kite ‘like girls’, we mean they kite with some serious skills.

In a great clip they released this week, we get to see how the two professional kiteboarder chicks train, hang out and ride together, the result being near perfect symmetry in their skills, and in their tricks as you’ll soon see.

Spending the summer in Brazil, the girls chose that particular location for the flat water and reliable trade winds that blow all season. Working with a 9 time world champ is fast-tracking Paula Novotná to the top of the professional kiting crowd, with the Czech girl already winning the European Freestyle championships last year, expect to see her on the podium at this years PKRA world freestyle series.

But back to the coolest part of ‘Like Two Drops of Water’… Have you ever seen synchronized kiteboarding before? It’s pretty cool, especially when it involves two of the best kiteboarders in the world performing handlepasses (Blind Judges) in perfect unison. Oh, and in super slow-mo…

Give it a try next time you’re out on the water, it’s harder than it looks!
