People Talking
As an older Women interested in kite surfing, I have attended some lessons over the last two years locally with two other clubs- making very slow progress.
Neither club seemed particularly welcoming to myself – felt very much I was just a client being taught standardly by much younger instructors.
As a female it takes a lot of courage to book up lessons – but neither club made much effort to encourage me in any extra group participation or contacts.
Later I found Infinity Kitesurfing – I attended a beach event (May 2023) not knowing anybody – I was intending to watch – but soon people were chatting to me & this was so different to my previous experiences.
I wish I had found this club sooner – Sylwia, Pawel & staff are all fantastic instructors, very nurturing & great fun -what a difference this has made!
I am progressing slowly with my kiting – but never made to feel too slow or too old.
I am a proud member of our “Girls Kite Together” community – & with Slywia’s lead, everyone is so welcoming, friendly & keen to interact about all things kiting.
So thank you Slywia, Pawel & your team – I have so enjoyed being part of the very special community you have built at Greatstone !
