Kiteival Mauritius

Content:   The inauguration of the Kiteival  –  Kitesurf Festival  –  on my beloved paradise island Mauritius, an event for Pros and Amateurs, consisting of 3 different stages  –  Fresstyle, Wave, Race.
Invited as a VIP-pro rider together with a TV-crew from the ATV  (Austrian Television) I had the pleasure taking part as well as the mission of producing a tv-program about the event.  Already the start of the event turned into a mayor highlight.  Y E A H,  the “Le Preskil Beach Resort Crossing“, a  long distance course race of approximately 25km, set in one of the most beautiful lagoons that I know:  Blue Bay on the South East Coast of Mauritius marked the beginning of the kiteival.  I was THE ONLY girl in a starter-field of almost 30 male competitors and  hey hey hey…listen to that:  I WON !!  Yes, I kicked a$$ big time and left all the dudes wayyy behind.  Hihihiihihihii, you should have seen the guys faces at the end of the race:  “…whaaat, only one girl competing and then she’s beating us all…!!?“
