How privileged am I to be able to say that of something in the first place (way too many people in this world don&#8217;t have any passion or something they truly dig with all their heart) and even more so to be able to say that of my profession! Yes, I&#8217;m a very lucky girl and I&#8217;m most grateful to my sponsors who enable me to be living this dream \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Over these 11 years that I&#8217;ve been practicing this amazing sport there&#8217;s been many, many, many times where I just suddenly got those butterflies in my stomach, just like when I first felt the incredible feeling that rushes through the whole body when gliding over the water surface solely by the force of mother nature and a kite.<\/p>\n<p>And right now, I&#8217;m feeling the butterflies so strongly again, it&#8217;s the most beautiful sensation!\u00a0 I&#8217;ve just had my very first sessions on the brand-new <strong>North Dice<\/strong>, a <strong>new launch of kite-model and the latest edition to North&#8217;s comprehensive range of products<\/strong>. Don&#8217;t miss to check out the product clip on YouTube!<\/p>\n<p>To me the Dice combines all the features that I seek for my style of riding and preferred conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Based on a<strong> C-profile<\/strong> and with only <strong>3-struts<\/strong> it&#8217;s incredibly responsive and extremely light. Its drift-capabilities in the waves and insane turning speed is what really got me. Turning on a dime and generating power so smoothly right when I want it, the Dice gives me an incredible confidence to go harder &amp; deeper and really push the limits of my wave-riding. My home today is Western Australia which is known for its heavy and extremely powerful waves. With my Dice I&#8217;ve gone deeper during the last swell that hit the coast, than ever before!<\/p>\n<p>I gave the kite a shot boosting airs, unhooking and pulling a few freestyle moves as well and I was truly amazed with its performance.<\/p>\n<p>So far I have only ridden the kite with my <strong>North 5th Element bar<\/strong>, however, being optimized for 4-lines, I can&#8217;t wait to give it a go with the <strong>Quad-Control!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A revolutionary crossover kite combining the best of both worlds,<\/strong> I can&#8217;t wait for the next time the wind is blowing&#8230;.<br \/>\nALEA IACTA EST \u2013 The die is cast and I&#8217;m in love love love \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nGxx<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yew, guys, I want to tell the world: I&#8217;m head over heels in love with kiting&#8230;. \u00a0 yet again !!!
