You always get beaten up on a water if you crash you will crash if you want to get better
Push yourself and just know that it will hurt if you want to get better
I'm Anna Valvathna and I'm a kite surfer I kite surf since yeah about 10 years
When I was a kid it was very difficult for me to sit still my parents had a hard time actually to keep me quiet for the dinner
I didn't have time for those things
And this has absolutely followed me through life. I'm still not very good at sitting still at relaxing
So that means sport is
Extremely important to me. I do sport every day, and I love playing soccer and handball
It just didn't give me the kick that kite surfing does like I need this adrenaline feeling
Also, to be able to feel the nature around me. You don't get that when you play soccer or handball
I was together with a with a guy who was a kite surfer and I saw him once at the water
kite surfing and flying jumping and I was totally fascinated
I really really wanted to learn it myself and and just experience this feeling of flying above the water
I went to so many spots
I think Norway has this roughness in nature and landscape which brings something special to the sport
If you're in warm
Countries, you just need a board shorts or bikini and you can go kite surfing
But here in Norway, you need an extra neoprene wetsuit. You need gloves. You need
Neoprene shoes. You need a neoprene beanie, and then you're set to go
Kite surfing is insanely fast. It can be a bit risky actually. You should absolutely know when you should enter the water and
Also, you should actually be able to watch the sky to watch the nature
If there are dark clouds arriving and everything else is clear, you should actually know that this could be a bit unsafe
Don't do any risks
You
I think every kite surfers have their individual style on the water
Like I have a very powerful style more powerful than most other girls in the kite surfing scene actually and
Yeah, maybe other kite surfers female kite surfers are more elegant on the water
But I'm quite known for for power on the water
And I think it's important to have your own style and do your own stuff on the water and not only copy everybody else
Every day life I feel kind of restless. I always have this need to feel to experience something
And this is exactly what kite surfing does to me
I need to force myself to take a day off because my body needs it, but it's hard
When I go kite surfing I feel quiet I feel like I can breathe
I always had this inside me, but I have no idea where it comes from. It's just there and it's yeah, it's it's me
