Let´s be honest. Our community is a very fortunate group of women. Maybe it´s time to empower other women, who are not as fortunate.
We´re aware that our kiteboarding 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 lifes. 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?
In 2018, BIG BLUE Boards donated 5% from sell-out kiteboards to Give.com. Thanks to that 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, their well-being, and the confidence of local women.

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).
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about kite gear, kite trips or kite life in general.
