EASY or CRAZY DECISION???🍍

Here is a small throwback how it all started. Why I felt like the World needs another kite brand, this time for women only?🏄🏽‍♀️ Why I have decided to walk on the thin ice and don´t look back?


The idea to start the brand for kite girls came to my mind after only a year of kiteboarding.

When I break it down and skip all the unicorn’s sparkle around, I must admit that, even though I loved kitesurfing I felt quite insecure in the environment...






Some wanted to keep "the dangerous/ adrenalin aura" around kiteboarding :)

The thing is that only 5 years ago, there were still guys who wanted to keep „ the danger/adrenalin aura“ around kiteboarding which draws back quite a lot of women around me.

I always knew that it´s fantastic sport for women which is much more collective than competitive, and as any sport (but specially the sports done in big blue ocean), It offers a huge platform for self – development on physical and mental level…

No. 1

First of all- I knew so many great women who I wanted to experience all the fun from kiteboarding but without the inferior feeling behind it.

No. 2

There is quite a lot of things to ask and learn when it comes to the kite equipment. I don´t know about you, but it takes me quite some time to figure everything out.

So, I want us girls to be able to choose our own kite gear with confidence and without endless debates or cocky talks. 😊



No.3

And my third reason is that quite frankly, I just wanted to have more female riders around me in the water… as it feels great.
