Today, first team profile - Katarzyna Lange!

♥ How did you start your kitesurfing adventure?

It all started with falling in love 6 years ago… My boyfriend is an kiteboarding instructor and I visited him once when he was working in Egypt. One day he showed me how to fly a kite, on second day I got a board and immediately started riding! It took me 3 hours to become independent. From that time I was learning pretty fast.

♥ Was it hard to start kitesurfing?
Not at all. I had it in my veins.

♥ Is kitesurfing popular in your country?
It’s super popular in Poland,  we have a great kiteboarding spot at polish seaside, and polish kiteboarder girls are ripping it around the world,  one even having a world champion title!

♥ What man- part of the kite community think about girls like you? Do you compete with each other?
It depends, but many of them are very supportive seeing that us girls can also push it hard and extend our limits, especially lately. There’s still a difference in between kiteboarding level of man and woman, but girls ride with much more power now than few years ago, and we gain a lot by riding together with guys.

♥ What would be your advice for the girls who want to start journey with kite?
Go for it ! You don’t need a lot of preparations, if you feel fit, ride a bike, swim, or jog it’s enough, just book a course and you’ll learn fast and safe.

♥ What does it mean for you? What do you owe to that sport?
First of all I just love what I do! Every training is fun, learning new tricks is a challenge and it’s amazing feeling when you finally make it. Kiteboarding is part of my life, my passion and my job. I can’t imagine life without kite !

♥ If there would be no kiteboarding,what would you do?
Not good. I would definitely surf.

♥ Sport is a great adventure, for sure. But also it is a really hard work. Have you ever regret that you chose that way of life?
No, it’s worth every moment.

♥ What is your best memory from your sport adventure/trip?
Oh there’s so many.. I travel a lot, visit beautiful places, meet lots of happy people, have lots of funny stories.. Maybe if I have to choose one I will always remember my first steps, cause this is how it all began, first splash under my board and the amazing feeling at that moment.

♥ What are your luggage essentials?
Except of gear - my little makeup kit, sunscreen, sunglasses, laptop, spare screws, comfy cloths.

♥ What do you do in your free time between your trips and trainings? Do you even have time for some social or family life?
Rarely, but when I do I always go home to spend time with my family. I love my home, I have big family and it’s growing bigger now, so it’s always fun !

♥ What do you love the most about Femi Pleasure stuff/brand?
They know exactly what girls love ! Having new ideas all the time they find my way of wearing clothes, not only as an athlete but also as a girl, they’re cute, comfy and original.
