KB4Girls in New YorkNew York, New York – Not news that I’ve dedicated a big chunk of my time learning about and engaging the kiteboarding community, while learning to kite. My non-kiting friends who I love dearly, who I know love me back in spite of what they think is one of my two-year itches have hinted interest in the sport. Which I find quite exciting that they would indulge me enough to take a lesson or two.

I thought we’d make it easier for them. When I learned the sport I had to spend a ridiculous amount of money before I found the one: the perfect kite spots for learning and the instructor/s who will help make it easier and faster to learn. How? Three steps:

  • We partnered with one of the recognizable women kite camps, Kristin Boese’s KB4 Girl!
  • We’re co-hosting the camp in Napeague, Montauk from September 17 – 19
  • It will cost each participant $30 for the entire lessons*

*Accommodations, meals and transport are a separate cost.

Hurry and register as the spots are limited to 20! Do It!

Just Kite It is thrilled to be a partner in Kristin Boese’s KB4 Girls events! Sharing the kiteboarding experience gives me so much fulfillment, so when the opportunity came for us to co-host some of the events in the US and be an official partner, I jumped on the opportunity! We’re proud to be part of Kristin’s work in helping women raise their interest in adventure and outdoor sports, specifically kiteboarding!

About Kristin Boese

Sports model Kristin Boese, Guinness World Record™ record-holder and nine-time world kiteboarding champion reaches out to girls around the world to sharpen their skills and learn new riding tricks. The 32-year-old from Potsdam, Germany, grew up behind the iron curtain. A stellar student, Kristin showed interest in a wide variety of sports and ended up playing semi-professional handball for 12 years.

In summer 2002 she discovered kite-boarding and within a few months left Germany behind on her way to Fuerteventura/Spain to work at a kite and windsurf center and to dive into the sport which she has very successfully done since.

Boese has also written two instructional kite-boarding books with Christian Spreckels “Kitesurfing In The Waves: The Complete Guide” and “Kitesurfing: The Complete Guide.” She has also published a DVD “Kitesurfing – a comprehensive guide with world champion Kristin Boese.” This is a complete learning program for kitesurfers of all levels.

About KB4girls

KB4girls is a non-profit worldwide clinic tour for female kiteboarders that was launched in November 2009 by Kristin Boese. While the tour gives female athletes from around the world the chance to get together for a fun time together it also motivates them to push their kiteboarding skills to the next level and possibly start to compete in kiteboarding.

Another goal of the KB4girls events is to support the Surfrider Foundation Europe and the protection of the oceans and beaches. While registration fees are being donated to the Foundation educational materials are being supplied in return and given out to all participating girls, teaching them about their precious playgrounds and how to possibly help to protect them.
