Inspiring people - Amanda Boxtel Learns to Kitesurf

Amanda Boxtel Learns to Kitesurf

A short video documenting the progression and positivity of "Team Possible" as they challenged themselves and the norms.

Paraplegic kitesurfing superstar, Amanda Boxtel shows how to take a positive approach and ask "why not" rather than why. She can swim, snow ski and waterski, so why not kitesurf?

Kitethrills took on the challenge and adapted some standard gear to give it a go. Amanda showed us she can do it and we are very much looking forward to the next time she visits her home shores and gets back out there to ride in stronger winds.

Huge thanks to Amanda, Kitethrills team, Mike, Lisa, Robbie and Glen for getting in there and going for it.

Good for her. "I felt the wind, and I felt the power. " Pretty much says it all!
