‘Myth Kitepro’-feature published in glossy WAVE Magazine
Stoked, the glossy Russian ‘WAVE’ magazine just published my feature ‘Myth Kitepro’, as the title already suggests it examines ‘pro-life’.
Most people assume kitesurf professionals get paid to simply go kiteing, spend their days off the water lazing around in the sun, and travel the world with all expenses covered. Mh, well, partly true for very few in the kite-pro-szene, though, the rest is working very hard to keep the head over water. Me too, I’m a one-woman-show: athlete, coach, media & pr agent, sponsor hunter, travel agent and so much more…
Looking into the most common clichés around the life of a kitesurf-professional, not everything in this article should be taken deadly serious !! If you do NOT speak Russian ;), tough … hehehe, joke, no worries, just check out the feature in French, and English in Stance magazine as well as in German in Kiteboarding.de in my ‘Portfolio’ !
Have fun!!!
