Hi Ladies,

I'm looking for females to contribute around Australia and New Zealand on what they're upto in kiting for a quarterly newsletter. This newsletter is to highlight what is happening in the female world of kiting out of the pro world.......we're few and far between in comparison to the men! The first edition has been written, so for the Spring Sessions Edition due out early September it would be good to get some info and photos from you all. If you have anything you'd like to send let me know!

Happy Winter Kiting!

Hi,
Sure, I can do that. I live in Geraldton and I'm the only female kiter at the moment. I hope to see some more girls kitesurfing for the next season. Tell me how I can help. Ciao Kiara

Well I know kiara.
Racing top end is around 30 knts when hooked in,

Hops backside surface 3s in about 20knts.Around the blind way not toe side.She didnt actually know she is doing it blind until we told her.

Riding waves unhooked in good conditions.Shes been out in gnarloo and has the scars to prove it.
Pops and can grab Indy, Stale and slob, stretching for crail.

Also double back rolls and she is really good at relaunching a kite with 5th line released. She smashes heaps. But thats how you learn the hard moves.

Pretty good for alittle under 1 1/2 years kiting.
We're not going to let her buy another poleboard and
now shes working on her surfing, cause theres no fugn wind.

Very proud as you can see

Do any of you have photos of you kiting that I can put into the newsletter......would love to do a photo section. If you do email them to me with your name and where you were, and I'll put it in!

Nor Easters due soon, hanging for a kite!

Thanks

Hi ladies,

This is such a cool thread! Caela, have you heard from any of the NZ women yet?

There must be atleast 35 (half foreigners) of us that kite on this side of the ditch... but I think Nelson has the most girls kiting in one area and have 5 girls on the water at one time regularly.

Where I am way up in Northland it's just 2 of us and the occasional Aucklander on weekends. I get real amped when I see other girls out ripping. So it's good to hear what moves you are trying.

Happy Kiting

Hey!

The newsletter is on the the NSWKBA, Kitepower, & Traqua websites if you want to download it, otherwise email me your addresses and I'll send it to you directly when they are issued!

I've heard from 3 girls in NZ which is great but would love to hear from more. Anyone who wants to contribute shoot me over an email.

Also still desperate to find female kiters in Tasmania & South Australia......are you out there?!?!?!?!?!

Am off to the weekend in Caloundra from 20-22nd October so if any of you ladies are going I'll see you there!!
