World champion kitesurfing Bruna Kajiya already said in an interview that women are physically different from men and therefore they have to learn kitesurfing in a different way.

During the Kitechix weekends beginners follow a full weekend course, whilst advanced girls follow special clinics. All courses and clinics are given according to the standards of the International Kiteboarding Organization (IKO).

Kitesurfing for girls

The Kitechix kitesurfing events take place at different venues in the Netherlands, and in addition now also in Cumbuco (Brazil), New York (USA), Zanzibar (Tanzania) and Knokke (Belgium). Kitechix kitesurfing is sponsored by Windtown and is aimed at offering quality services, instructions, accommodation and location, in a relaxing and friendly atmosphere.
