 ♥  How did you start your wakeboarding adventure?
Oh it's complicated.. In the beginning I didn't want to ride.. It was 4 years ago when I went to one of the first wake parks and I saw boys who were riding. I had no idea about this sport at all. I thought "OMG" this is crazy!" They were doing air tricks and riding on obstacles. I'm a perfectionist and I considered that I can't do this because every person, who see this, will be laughing at me. Of course my love to extreme sports is so huge that I couldn't resist and I tried. From that time I'm addicted to wakeboarding.

 ♥ Was it hard to start wakeboarding?

For me.. not at all. But I was learning very fast and I enjoyed it. Every new trick was bringing me a lot of happiness and motivation.

 ♥ Is wakeboarding popular in your country?
When I started wakeboarding was practically unknown in Poland but it is getting more and more polular. We have more cool riders who do crazy tricks and many more wake parks with good obstacles. This makes me happy and I'm glad that I can be part of this!


 ♥ What man- part of the wake community think about girls like you? Do you compete with each other?
It is widely believed that girls are weak but most of men support us and give good tips how to do the new tricks. Wakeboarding requires a lot of strength and technique and that's why there are differences between women and men. I have my own theory that maybe men are much stronger than women but it's women can stand more than men. For example at the end of the season there was many cold and raining days and the water was really cold usually women come and push it hard while men stayed in the warm jacuzzi. Girls watching the men have more motivation and I claim that the best way is cooperate and help each other, not compete.

 ♥ What would be your advice for the girls who want to start journey with wake?
If you want to try it so try it! Every girl can do it! It's very important to have a good teacher who will introduce you and will tell you everything you need to know. We have a lot of wake parks where you can go and start your journey with wakeboarding!

 ♥ If there would be no kiteboarding,what would you do?

Probably every kind of water sports especially surfing and kitesurfing.

 ♥ 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 way! Definitely I love what I do and can't even imagine that I could do something else.
