Life is a constant choice
Before I founded BigBlue boards, nobody really trusted the idea. I was told that the market is too small for a brand focusing entirely on women. However, my choice was clear.
Our choice was to create kite gear and a community dedicated to women and to empower women around the world.
Let´s be honest. Our community is a very fortunate group of women. It´s time to empower women, who are not as fortunate.
We´re aware that our community is a very fortunate group of women. We´re able to do what we love - have the freedom to travel, kitesurf and shape our own lives. It´s time to help other women around the world who are not that fortunate.
Is it just marketing or can we really make a difference?
By donating 5% of the profit from each kiteboard to Give in 2018 we have been able to send women from the village of Kiwengwa (Tanzania, Africa) to a business-oriented soap making course.
By doing so, we´ve increased their family income and well-being and most importantly their confidence.
Why women only?
KITE GEAR
Simply because we wanted to have kite gear that suits us and doesn´t limit our progress. Not only a pink or flowery version of the men’s equipment.
It’s a huge misconception to think that a ‘women only’ brand is directly associated with hatred for men. There are many companies in the industry that offer men only equipment and nobody is questioning that.
EDUCATION
Because if you educate a man, you educate an individual. If you educate a woman, you educate a nation. (Men in Muslim society have an easier access to education than women. Tanzanian women have in average 7-10 kids therefore their impact to the next generation is huge).
No pressure. The choice is yours.
Once you are buying BigBlue gear, You can choose to donate 5% of the profit from your board towards educating women in Tanzania or you can choose to make yourself happy and save 5% on your board. You will also be helping just by spreading the awareness around.
WHAT EVER YOU DECIDE TO DO, MAKE SURE IT MAKES YOU HAPPY! #mychoice
