JOHARA' S HIGH FIVES:
Description: Blonde, pink obsessed, committed, independent, rebellious.
Kitesurfing Style: Energetic, crowd-pleaser, focused, individual, powered.
Top places to ride:
West Shore, Llandudno, North Wales – replicates kite beach on Maui!
The lagoons up and down the coast from Cumbuco, Brazil – when they are quiet!
Jeri, Brazil – perfect little 2ft kickers and the most amazing sand dune back drop, sweet!
Squamish Spit, BC, Canada – butter flat on the inside of the spit and I long to go back there now I can actually ride and make the most of it!
Oukaimeden, High Atlas Mountains, Morocco – for somewhere completely insane to snowkite!
Favourite moves: Down loop railey to blind is my new fave from the summer, back to blind is always such a nice one, stuff to wrapped is my mission at the momement, blind judge is an obsessive one, big front loops and classic old one footers are always good fun.
Riding tips:
When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
Fear is temporary. Regret is forever. Face your fears, live your dreams.
Always respect the elements and never pick a fight with the wind, it will always win!
Just go out and HAVE FUN!
