Wild Women of Watamu Ride the Wind

An increasing number of women are discovering the wonders of riding the ‪Watamu‬ wind and are coming to Tribe Watersports to learn to ‪Kitesurf‬ which is by no means a male dominated sport- on the contrary its now not unusual to see all female riders on our beach.

As Tribe Watersports report: "Here in Watamu and particularly over the last year we have seen a big shift in the number of women participating in the sport. We have a great female kiting community here in Watamu there are a number of local women who are regularly out on the water. In addition to this we have a group of women that live in Nairobi that come down to Watamu over weekends during the season to enjoy the great conditions we have on offer"

"It is great to see more women getting into kitesurfing and awesome to see them descend on Watamu. Watamu has massive appeal of not being too busy of a location along with 5km of beach meaning there is plenty of space for everyone to kite. The water is wonderfully warm and we get great winds all year around. There are tonnes of accommodation options from budget to high end along with a number of other activities to keep you entertained over extended holidays or long weekends"
