The movie was shot in a variety locations including: Hel Peninsula, Gdynia, Ustka, Orzechowo, Puck, Tychy and Bielsko-Biała in Poland. I woke up that day with the hopes of being a world champ and it happened.The team from Woodpecker Motion Pictures takes the viewer along an adrenaline-pumping ride as it followers riders from Poland and around the world across the water and snow as they take flight one gust of wind at a time.Ī new documentary shows the exhilarating world of kite surfing in a way it has never been shown before. Somehow the conditions turned on for my heat and I just felt in the zone.
I was using my 12 m Pivot, 12 m Boxer, and Gecko to make the most of the light wind.
Everyone was exhausted running 1 km up the beach every heat. Once you can see it, it’ll happen! It was ridiculously light for the majority of the competition. This year I focused on my mental game meditating, strategizing, and visualizing. I’ve been dreaming about it since I started kiting. Peri said, “I am sooooo incredibly happy, emotional, and over the moon to have won World Champion. Her perseverance paid off and she rode her last wave all the way into shore to claim her new title of World Champion,” Hamaini tells us. “The conditions were perfect for this essential heat, and Peri put her heart and soul into each wave. Peri was as ready as ever to compete and earn her well-deserved World Champion title - and that’s exactly what she did. Saturday was looking promising for the competitors.
Being in the running for World Champ is a huge achievement for her, as she has only been on tour for a little more than a year,” said Gemma Hamaini. “Peri Roberts will need to win her heat in Round 5 if she wants to be crowned World Champion here in Dakhla. This win was importnt, allowing her to get some rest and prepare for her next heat while Round 4 was underway. The first round of the women’s heats kicked off on competition day 2 and the pressure was on for Peri! Roberts won her heat, advancing her into Round 5 of the competition. Peri arrived in Morocco 2 days before the competition and was eager to get out on the water and put her hustle into action. Anything is possible when you put your mind to it.” It was probably the hardest grind I’ve been through, mentally and physically, but it taught me how strong I am and how strong the mind is when you work on it and invest in it. I had my mum sell my car back home in Australia to get me back on my feet after those medical setbacks and to make the 36-hour journey to Morocco - I even spent my 22nd birthday alone on a plane.Īll of the hard work and ups and down were so worth it. This time I only had 3 weeks - 2 of them spent with a viral infection and then 2 infected wisdom teeth that needed to come out ASAP.
#KITE SURFER HOW TO#
I taught myself how to do some strapless freestyle tricks in 45 kts of wind and worked through an injured shoulder.Īfter placing well in Sylt I knew I had a shot at the World Title, so I came straight back to Maui to train hard again. I worked 3 jobs, I would wake up at 4:30 am and go to sleep at 11 pm every night so I could work, train, and make sure I could get over to Europe with ease. I booked a flight back to Maui and basically had a 6-week intense training period to get ready for the 2nd stop in Germany. When the tour was announced in late June, I had just had my passport, money, and cards stolen in Mexico. I left my family, I haven’t seen any of my friends since the beginning of March, and I jumped through visa issues, and on top of all of that, I lost my passport. I moved to Maui with hopes that my kitesurfing career would come to fruition.
