Kristin Boese says: "I believe that kiteboarding would be the perfect addition to the Olympic Sailboat classes. It is spectacular, transports a young and dynamic image and offers huge potential as a media and spectator sport."
 
"Through its beauty and excitement kiteboarding has the power to reach out to millions of people around the world and inspire them - a message that I am more than happy to support." Boese adds.

The IKA too fervently believes that the discipline of kiteboarding should be included within the Olympic Sailing Competition from 2016 onwards and starts its Olympic campaign with an amazing array of ambassadors. Boese is joined by personalities like Virgin Chairman Sir Richard Branson, Venture Capitalist Bill Tai, 2-time Olympic Medalist Michael Gebhard and many more.
 
Richard Branson, an avid kiteboarder himself, who hosted the first annual "Kite Jam" event on his private Necker Island earlier this year says: "Kiteboarding is a fun and spectacular sport that I think would make a tremendously exciting addition to the Olympic Games."
 
Markus Schwendtner, Executive Secretary of the IKA states: "It is important for us to showcase that kiteboarding is a worldwide movement with the support of personalities from in- and outside the sport. Sir Richard Branson is a great example for how to spread the message of kiteboarding through fantastic ventures. Kristin Boese, the world's most successful female kiteboarder, brings kiteboarding to the masses through various media projects. Kiteboarding enthusiast and Venture Capitalist Bill Tai spreads the message of the sport through his network around the world. This is what our Olympic Ambassadors are standing for, an integration of sport and society".
 
The International Olympic Committee stated at the 2009 Olympic Congress in Copenhagen that the Olympic Movement must strive to reach out to youth around the world.
 
Kiteboarding believes it is the "perfect fit" since it is a young and dynamic sport with the ability to capture a broad audience.
 
To further support the Olympic campaign of kiteboarding and to help assure a strong field of female competitors will be ready to compete in the Rio de Janeiro games, Boese is conducting her KB4girls worldwide tour which reaches out to women to embrace the sport.
 
Upcoming KB4girls events:
 
Fischland, Germany /  August 20-22
Malmo, Sweden /  August 28-29
Hood River, US /  September 4
Montauk/NY, USA / September 24-26

Die deutschen Asse boten ihren Fans eine Super-Show. Vor allem die neunfache Weltmeisterin Kristin Boese wuchs über sich hinaus und fuhr auf einen sensationellen vierten Platz vor. Fünfmal ging die Potsdamerin an den Start und warf dabei unter anderem die Weltranglistenvierte Angela Peral (Spanien) aus dem Rennen. Doch nach dreieinhalb Stunden Wettkampf ließen bei der 33-Jährigen die Kräfte nach. Kristin Boese verlor gegen die 14 Jahre jüngere Ranglistenzweite Karolina Winkowska aus Polen und war nach dem tollen Auftritt erschöpft, aber glücklich über ihre beste Freestyle-Platzierung des Jahres.


Auch Sabrina Lutz begeisterte das Publikum. Nach einer fantastischen Vorstellung katapultierte sich die 19-Jährige auf den siebten Platz. Der Hamburgerin gelang sogar das Kunststück, die letztjährige Gewinnerin von St. Peter-Ording, Joanna Litwin aus Polen, zu bezwingen. Erst eine hauchdünne Niederlage gegen die Norwegerin Kari Schibevaag stoppte die dreifache Deutsche Meisterin.


Mario Rodwald aus Rendsburg und der Kieler Stefan Permien schafften den Sprung unter die Top Ten. Erst der Niederländer Youri Zoon und Alberto Rondina aus Italien, Zweiter bzw. Sechster der Freestyle-Rangliste, beendeten den Höhenflug der Deutschen. Nach dem Freestyle-Finale wurde die Showdisziplin Big Air gestartet. Der Palmolive Kitesurf World Cup geht am Sonntag zu Ende.

TAMPA/LONDON/PERTH, March, 22^nd 2010: As a great eco-citizen weekend of global scale, dealing with the problem of macro-waste and dedicated to the protection of our coast, our lakes and our rivers the Ocean Initiatives weekend 2010 took part this past weekend from march,18^th to 21^st. Initiated by the “Surfrider Foundation Europe” the event motivated hundreds of beach clean ups around the world with the goal to educate local people and kids about the pollution of our waterways and to raise awareness. Ocean Initiatives has been organized for the past 15 years and finds more and more supporters every year. A great example was set by some of the PKRA world cup riders and the local staff of the Intercontinental Hua Hin Resort Kiteboarding World Cup in Thailand when they all joined the Ocean Initiatives weekend with a beach clean up at 8.00 am on Saturday the 20^th of march. While the meeting point was the competition site, a large area of Hua Hin’s beach was cleaned when a total of 33 motivated beach-cleaners split into 2 groups to collect trash to the left and the right of the world cup area. Even a waste truck followed the diligent trash collectors to relieve them of their heavy burdens whenever their bags were filled up. With an immense oversupply and usage of plastic bags presenting a big problem in Thailand and most parts of Asia it was no surprise that many plastic bags were collected during the clean up. Quickly it became clear that straws and plastic cups are also a serious threat to Thailand’s environment as they were the main trash items collected along the beach. It seems that while Thai coconuts are a delight in one way they are a curse in another as plastic straws are used for the countess number of coconuts consumed. The Hua Hin clean up was also supported by the mayor of the town who came to the beach to thank everyone that had joined. In his speech he made clear to the local people how important it is to keep oceans and beaches clean and to take actions towards a cleaner environment. Both, the mayor and the riders that had joined the clean up set a great example for the people in Hua Hin and might just make a difference to the future of the town and their pollution problems. Co-organizing this clean up marked Kristin Boese’s first project for the “Surfrider Foundation Europe” of which she officially became an ambassador just 2 weeks ago. Becoming very aware of the problems that the pollutions of oceans, beaches and rivers poses during her travels around the world Kristin wanted to help the environment as much as she possibly could and when launching KB4girls, a non-profit clinic tour for female kiteboarders, put a lot of thought into how to support female kiteboarders and the environment at the same time. Getting together with “Surfrider Foundation Europe” offered a great opportunity for both parties. Kristin Boese says: “I was looking for a way to do something positive for our oceans and beaches with KB4girls and as I had heard of the great work of the Surfrider Foundation I got in contact with them to see how I could help. From the beginning they were very open and I am honored to have become an ambassador for such a great Foundation. While the beach clean up in Thailand was my first project with them, Surfrider Foundation Europe will supply educational materials for all our KB4girls events and in return we will donate the registration fees to them. I am very positive that together we will raise a lot of awareness about the water pollution around the world and hopefully make kiteboarders and local people change their environmentally unhealthy patterns.” Xavier Giamporcaro, Partnership and Development project manager of Surfrider Foundation Europe: “Surfrider Foundation Europe’s aim is to defend oceans, coastline, waves and the people who enjoy them. As a kiteboarder, Kristin Boese is well aware of water pollutions as she spends most of her time in the water. Joining Surfrider as and ambassador, Kristin will support our educational campaigns and help us keep the oceans clean by raising awareness on the beaches around the world. We at Surfrider warmly welcome her!” A thanks goes to everyone who was involved in the clean up and made a difference to the beach of Hua Hin and the local people.   ### About Kristin Boese Sports model Kristin Boese, Guinness World Record™ record-holder and nine-time world kiteboarding champion reaches out to girls around the world to sharpen their skills and learn new riding tricks.

TAMPA/LONDON/PERTH, Feb 23: Guinness World Record™ holder and 9 time world champion Kristin Boese is set to lead the lineup of stellar professional riders for Sir Richard Branson’s exclusive inaugural BVI Kite Jam 2010 at his idyllic Balinese style Necker Island paradise on February 27th - March 5th.
 
Silke Langenkamp, Destination Manager “Travel Marketing” said: “We have been very happy to announce the famed female German pro rider Kristin Boese as the first professional participant in the fantastic new kiteboarding event in the British Viring Islands. We are convinced that her participation will administer a lot to make the BVI Kite Jam a successful event. And we are very much looking forward to welcoming Kristin in our island paradise.”
 
While Boese has been busy with the launch of “KB4girls”, a worldwide non-profit clinic tour for female kiteboarders, she will be taking some time off from her tour to be able to participate in this extraordinary event in the British Virgin Islands.
 
Boese said: “With our third and next 2010 KB4girls event set to take part on Maui/Hawaii on April 9th – 11th I will have enough time to get away for this very special event and while I sure enjoy our female only kite events I am very much looking forward to taking part in the first inaugural BVI Kite Jam and to kite in such a pristine location. The format of the event just shouts out FUN and I can not wait to be there!”
 
"As the publicists for BVI Kite Jam 2010, we feel honored to have Kristin on board, she has the kind of dynamic personality and experience as a pro kiter that is a perfect fit for Kite Jam," says Erika Vives, senior director for Andria Mitsakos Public Relations.
 
Other confirmed riders for the event include Andre Philip, Susi Mai, Tuva Jansen, Tom Court, Chris Burke, Gretta Kruesi and Madison Van Heurck. The BVI Kite Jam will include visual competitions, demonstrations and technique clinics in key locations throughout the British Virgin Islands. The Caribbean winds of BVI create excellent conditions for kite-boarding as the Tourist Board seeks to raise awareness of the islands as a top destination for the sport.
 
Set against stunning scenery and sparkling aquamarine waters, the Necker Island event will kick off with a VIP evening and fashion show sponsored by Billabong at the Fat Virgin Cafe. Additional events, competitions, parties and meals for the Kite Jam participants will be hosted on Bitter End Yacht Club, Necker Island, Anegada and Sand Box. Necker Island is located in the north-eastern Caribbean archipelago of 60 tropical islands, islets and cays.
The event is sponsored by the BVI Tourist Board, Bitter End Yacht Club and Necker Island as official venue partners; Cape Air as the airline partner; Sunsail as the accommodation partner, as well as Green Technology BVI and Delta Petroleum. In addition, “Sailors for the Sea” has given the event a Clean Regatta Certification, in conjunction with Sunsail’s participation and other greening elements of the event.

BVI Kite Jam has also partnered with local charities including the Virgin Islands Search and Rescue (VISAR) and Tortola’s Kids And The Sea (KATS), a non-profit water sports program.

Potential “KITE JAMMERS” can register online at the official BVI Kite Jam website, www.bvikitejam.com; Participation fees include accommodations on Sunsail Catamarans, lunches, dinners, festivities and more.

TAMPA/JOHANNESBURG/PERTH 14. Dezember 2009: Kristin Boese hat mit dem Eintrag ins Guinessbuch der Rekorde als Kiterin mit den meisten Weltmeistertiteln einen weiteres Zeichen in der Geschichte des Kitesurfens gesetzt. Die Urkunde besagt: „Die Höchste Anzahl der durch eine Sportlerin gewonnenen Weltmeistertitel im Kitesurfen ist neun und wurden von Kristin Boese (Deutschland) zwischen 2005 und 2008 errungen.“ Boese ist Inhaber von neun Weltmeistertiteln, der neunte Titel in der Disziplin WAVE wurde erst vor kurzem offiziell bestätigt. Ihre ungeheure Vielseitigkeit bewiess die 32-jährige dabei, indem sie diese Titel in fünf verschiedenen Disziplinen gewinnt, 2x Freestyle, 2x Wave, 2x Kursrennen 1x Slider and Kicker, 1x Boarder-Cross und einen Gesamt-Weltmeistertitel. In 2009 ist Kristin Boese Erste im World-Ranking der offiziellen International Kiteboarding Association (ISAF ...) im Kursrennen und wurde Zweite bei der Weltmeisterschaft in Californien.  Kristin sagt:“ Ich erinnere mich daran, früher im Fernsehen Guinness Rekord Versuche gesehen zu haben und damals gedacht zu haben, wie erstaunlich es ist, dass diese Leute etwas getan hatten, was noch nie zuvor erreicht worden war. Es macht mich stolz jetzt einer von ihnen zu sein und es ist eine besonder Auszeichnung für mich.“ Mauricio Toscano, der President der Professional Kiteboard Riders Association (PKRA) sagt: “Kristin Boese ist eine extrem talentierte Sportlerin. Sie hat seit 2002 an den Wettkämpfen der PKRA Kiteboarding World Tour teilgenommen und im Verlaufe der Jahre ist sie eine Ikone der Kiteboard-Welt geworden, auch dadurch, dass sie mehr Weltmeistertitel errungen hat als sonst jemand. Da sich die PKRA Tour immer darum bemüht hat, den Sport als solchen aber auch die Sportler zu promoten, ist es toll, diese Erfolsgeschichte mitzuerleben.“ Als begabte Fahrerin began sie 2002 an Kitesurf-Wettkämpfen teilzunehmen, bereits im selben Jahr in dem sie mit dem Kiteboarden begonnen hatte und endete in diesem Jahr als 12. der Welt. In 2003 wurde Boese bereits 4. und 2004 wurde sie zweite der Weltrangliste. Als sie ihre Karriere begann, war die einzige Wettkampfdisziplin, die es gab, Freestyle. Als sich der Sport entwickelte, wendete sie sich den neuen Disziplinen mit viel Training, Übung und Motivation zu. Diese Anstrengungen wurden durch anfangs durch die beiden Titel im Freestyle - gegen Fahrer, die im Schnitt 10 Jahre jünger waren als sie selbst - und später durch weitere Titel belohnt. „Als ich anfing Wettkämpfe zu fahren“ sagt sie, „konnte ich nur davon träumen, eines Tages beste Kiterin und Weltmeisterin zu werden. Ich konnte nicht planen oder gar davon überzeugt sein, dass es mir gelingen würde. Aber nachdem ich ein paar Titel gewonnen hatte habe ich mir dann das Ziel gesetzt, nicht nur die Kiterin mit den meisten Titeln zu werden, sondern auch, den Sport bekannter zu machen und Kiterinnen auf der ganzen Welt zu unterstützen.“ Das blonde Beachgirl ist in dem Medien häufig zu sehen und hat den Sport auch durch ihren Einsatz als Model und durch Fotoshootings für Magazine wie Vogue, Playboy und Max den Leuten näher gebracht.   KB4girls kite-boarding clinics Boese hat Anfang Dezember 2009 den Start ihrer weltweite KB4girls Tour bekannt gegeben. Diese Tour hat zum Ziel, Frauen, die diesen Sport betreiben, zu unterstützen, sie zu motivieren und dabei zu helfen Kite-Gemeinschaften zu bilden. Diese non-profit tour ist ein Projekt mit dem Boese nicht nur die weiblichen Kitesurferinnen fördern sondern auch Umweltschützende Stiftungen unterstützen will.
Elea Faucheron, aka“Air Chica“, Air Club for girls, sagt:“ Eine kiteboardende Frau zu sein hat noch nie mehr Spass gemacht. Frauen jeglicher Herkunft und aus allen Berufen stürzen sich mit Eifer in diesen Sport. The KB4girls 2010 Tour ist eine Möglichkeit für Frauen, in Kontakt zu kommen, sich auszutauschen und sich gegenseitig herauszufordern. Danke an Kristin, dass sie die Frauen zusammenbringt und ihren unbeschrieblichen Enthusiasmus mit uns teilt.“   Wassersport und Umweltschutz Boese setzt sich mit großem Engagement für den Umweltschutz ein, besonders für die Ozeane und Strände, da sie hier einen Großteil ihrer Zeit verbringt. An einer Partnerschaft zwischen einer Umweltorganisation und ihrer KB4girls tour wird gegenwärtig gearbeitet. Anmeldegebühren für die Events werden für den Schutz der Ozeane gespendet werden.
