An interview with Kristin Boese Ride the Kite. In 2001 the now 39-year-old Kristin Boese discovered kitesurfing. Since then she has been unstoppable on the water and the waves, and has won nine kitesurfing world championship titles. An unequalled performance! We met her at the 21st Century Beetle Kitesurf World Cup in St. Peter-Ording and talked with her about the sport, the lifestyle and, of course, about cars. marker seeMore Scan the image with your smartphone's camera and experience the 21st Century Beetle Kitesurf World Cup in St. Peter-Ording. negativ version 1 positiv 32 · Volkswagen The Beetle
Hey Kristin, do you remember when you got on a board for the very first time I started kiteboarding very late. The first time I used a kiteboard was in spring 2002. In summer 2001 I worked as a surfing teacher in Wustrow and got to know several kiteboarders. In late summer 2001 I learned how to control a kite and first took to the water on a kiteboard in spring 2002 – I couldn't wait for the summer. Your greatest success, new goals – What was it, what could it be Naturally, one of the greatest successes was my first world championship title. That still holds a special place in my heart, of course. What is left to achieve after nine world championship titles I hope to have the opportunity to represent Germany at the Olympics in Rio in 2016. That would be a dream come true! Do you ever stop learning No, of course not! There is always something new to learn. Which is good, because otherwise it would become boring – and I cannot live with boredom. After all the successes you have achieved, does the job or your sport still remain interesting I seek out new challenges which are closely related to the sport in order to keep it interesting. This includes organising the "Touring the Waves" world championship, for example, and a foundation for encouraging women, writing books or making the sport an Olympic discipline. I always need the mental challenge – that is very important to me. Hawaii or St. Peter-Ording – which is more attractive, what makes the difference Naturally, SPO is always great – because I am back in Germany and see my family, who live near Berlin. However, SPO is only beautiful in the summer – In winter I would rather be in Hawaii (laughs). Where else in the world would you like to kiteboard where you have not yet been Well, there aren't very many places left (considers). I have not been to the Black Sea or to the Antarctic yet, even though it was on the cards. At contests: What is the relationship among the contestants Most of the old riders have a friendly relationship with each other on the water, despite the competitive situation. But on the water you are and you always remain the competition and everyone wants to win – of course! Nevertheless, we are friends. You travel with the others on the tour all year and you spend a lot of time together. When you began who were your role models and/ or did you even have any role models If yes, Kristin Boese: 39 years old, 9x Kiteboarding World Champion Her favourite place in the world: Byron Bay, Australia Her iPod playlist is full of: Indie music what kind of people were they Yes, I had role models when I began. One role model, and also someone I would also like to meet one day, is Roger Federer. At that time it was also Cindy Mosey, the former world champion, who I competed against in many competitions. Today she is a very good friend of mine. Do you remember your first car Oh yes! It was a green Trabant, which my boyfriend at the time gave me for my 18th birthday. However, this Trabant did not go faster than 112 km/h (laughs). If you were invited to take the Beetle out for a spontaneous trip over the weekend and were asked to choose the destination, where would you go Regardless of which continent Yes… anywhere! Then I would go to Byron Bay in Australia! This is a small beach in the easternmost part of Australia and is also one of the most famous small towns in Australia. The way of life here is still like it was in old times. What is more important to you when it comes to your car: Design or performance/speed Naturally, a lot of luggage space is important for me and I also like fast cars. The Passat, which Volkswagen generously made available to me during the Beetle Kitesurf World Cup in SPO, was perfect. It was a great car – I did not want to give it back. As a nine-time world champion, do you still feel nervous before a competition or has it now become routine Oh, no! Quite the opposite! Just last weekend it was once again very, very exciting for me and I was more nervous than I had been in a long time! A competition like this always involves a certain amount of luck and I am always nervous because something could always go wrong. Luckily, this weekend went well. It was a hard competition and I was pretty exhausted at the end. I would like to have added one more title to my nine world championship titles, but second place at this competition is also a fantastic success. Congratulations! Thanks! (Laughs) One last question: Explain to someone, who has never heard of a kitesurfing, this sport's attraction. Kitesurfing is a feeling of freedom. On the water you fight with and also against the forces of nature. You are alone and when you succeed in controlling how high and how far the kite carries you, then it is an indescribably beautiful feeling… I love it! Thank you for the great interview and we wish you the best of luck for 2016 in Rio! (Laughs). Thanks and take’care!
