Emely is a kitesurfing and yoga instructor who runs camps in Akayaka, Turkey — a place she fell in love with on a visit nearly seven years ago and never left. Recorded beach-side at Sydvestpynten, one of Copenhagen's most popular kite spots, this episode covers a huge range of ground: starting kitesurfing in Denmark in early 2000s, competing in the Danish Freestyle Tour, why fewer girls are entering competitions these days, and why "free ride" categories might be the key to changing that.

They also dig into the role of yoga in kitesurfing recovery and injury prevention, how kite culture has shifted from "just kite more" to gym sessions and protein shakes, and what makes a destination like Akyaka so special — protected nature, zero high-rises, and a community vibe that's hard to find elsewhere. Things get especially fun toward the end, with talk of slalom races, kitesurfing challenges, and a half-serious pitch for a kitesurfing app.

A warm, funny and wide-ranging conversation between two people who clearly love this sport. 🪁
