Bio

My name is Vasilisa Zaytseva and I am an enthusiastic kitesurfer from Russia .

I started kitesurfing in 2011 and for the last two years I have been travelling all over the world pursuing my love for extreme sports including wakeboarding, surfing, snowboarding, paragliding and kiteboarding. Although I practice and enjoy a number of sports, kiteboarding is my number one passion. . I have my IKO license and have been teaching, competing and freelancing in many places such as Mauritius, Egypt, Russia, Vietnam, Fuertaventura, Brazil, Mexico, Dominican Republic and Greece. I have also organized my own camps in Russia as well as kite-safaris in Egypt. I try to spread the idea of kitesurfing and make more people want to go ride because I believe kitesurfing is the best thing I have ever experienced in my life.. And moreover I am going to participate in the World Championship 2016 in Egypt.

Here is the list of my achievements:

To sum up I am an athlete and enthusiastic kite girl, who has traveled all over the world, teaching people kiteboarding and organizing kite camps mostly for Russians in a different and new kite spots. I see myself more focusing on the enjoyment side of the sport and attracting more people to the industry, but still willing to push girl’s level of riding in Russia to a higher level.
