Helena Prestes
When and why did you start kitesurfing?
I needed a new challenge, and kitesurfing brought the wild, free lifestyle I’ve always wanted. The adrenaline … and I’ve been all in since day one.
What does kitesurfing give you?
It clears my head, strengthens my body, and fills my soul. It’s challenging also… I like to see the sunset while doing it….
What does femininity mean to you?
It sounds to me like femininity is about being true to yourself. strong and soft, bold and intuitive. Whether I am in the water kiting or just living life, I see femininity as something confident, a way of owning who I am and moving forward with grace.... Also is femineity for me means generosity... women being kind with another or giving compliments to another is a major thing.
A world without women – what would it look like?
Gray, boring, and totally off-balance. No vibe, no rhythm, no magic.
Favorite kitesurf spot?
Where the wind is wild, the water’s warm, and the energy is real. Good people, good vibes.
Other sports do you love?
Surfing, yoga, and anything that keeps me flowing and grounded when I’m off.
