EP 4 | Nathalie / Big Blue Boards - board designs & kite camps

In this episode, Sasha sits down with Nathalie — owner of Big Blue Boards, social media marketer, kitesurfing instructor, and organiser of women's kite camps across Egypt, Tarifa, Sardinia, Brazil and beyond.Nathalie's story is one of those "kitesurfing changed my life" ones that you can't help but love. A single trip to Egypt in 2011, a frustrating first lesson, and a decision to pack up and move there for a year to learn properly — that's where it all started. From there she found Barbara, the founder of Big Blue Boards, the first kiteboard brand built specifically for women, and ended up as ambassador, co-owner, and eventually sole owner of the brand.They dig into the gear side — why women were stuck riding boards that were too heavy, too stiff, and too big, why "shrink it and pink it" was never the answer, and how the industry has slowly started to catch up. They also talk about what actually builds confidence on the water, why kiting in imperfect conditions is more valuable than perfect flat water sessions, and how Pilates and strength training are quietly becoming every kiter's best kept secret.
