STuDenT KiTeSurf NaTiOnaLs!

Back in March I competed in the first ever Student Kitesurf Nationals held at Calshot by Southampton University.
The whole event was extremely well organised and overall a great success. All the heats and riding took place on the Saturday as there was no wind forcasted for the Sunday. They managed to fit all the heats and finals in by the end of the day. This was shortly followed by the prize giving in the evening and the after party.

I came away with a prize for first girl and a special prize awarded by expix (www.expix.co.uk). Ian Edmondson from expix has given me a days photo shoot including Kitesurfing and lifestyle shots :-)
I was so pleased with this result, as it was my first ever competition and I wasn't really sure how I would do under a bit of pressure. I know I definatly want to continue to compete and hope to take part in all the BKSA events next year (2011).

I am really looking forward to the photo shoot with Ian :-) and hope to have some photos to post up soon.
