Respect and admiration, not only for the girl, but also the people helping her.
Great stuff.
Never really much to complain about here.
I've seen a guy with only 1 leg KiteSurf, that was impressive in itself. This is taking it to another level!
I used to teach scuba diving to paraplegics, and ever since I've been amazed at what can be accomplished by spirit and determination...
very impressive! I wonder how they are going to achieve it to actually have her stand on a board. you reckon they'll have a custom board that you can sit on?
Love these sort of stories.
Saw a guy skiing once with just 2 stumps for legs. Amputation above mid thigh ![]()
He was rocking, absolutely killing it, and I swear the happiest smile on the mountain.

The guy who dropped them in looked like a Hells Angel on a Harley type bike - with only one leg. ![]()
TOTAL RESPECT
Makes me pull my head in a bit when I consider how much I whinge about the lack of wind, as if that's something to be down about. Hat's off, Be grateful.
He is.
You should see him work the paddle on his SUP.![]()
Still
Respect.
Anyone else got any "respects"???
lol
Sorry God.
This is awesome. If my legs didn't work i'd get rid of them so I can boost higher while doing 15km bodydragging downwinders!. There is still fun to be had when it seems like all is lost, very inspiring.
hey patrick do you have any contact details for any of the instructors who are helping this girl out cheers cauncy
there is no doubt about her courage.
however, there are very few people willing to think outside the box and find ways to help someone with such incredible ambitions. tis a rare bird that has that kind of patience. the rewards for that kind of attitude will speak for itself. you and your group are the kind of people I love to meet in my travels. i tip my next Guiness to you all!
I'm sure at the begining of my 'PROGRESSION' dvd there is someone kiting on a knee board,keen to give it a crack myself one day.
You have just made my night. I was sitting at home feeling sorry for myself due to some man-flu, hoping to get better for our big kiting weekend season opener here in SE Queensland.
I have just made the decision to go on our weekend camp / kite adventure flu or no flu.
This lady really is an inspiration to all of us.
Hats off to her team of friends who clearly share a passion for everything that is good about this sport. I'm always amazed at how the kite surfing community are willing to help each other.
Keep it up- I can't wait for the next video - I have no doubt that she will achieve great things.... She's already a legend in my mind.
