THE KITESOUL CORRESPONDENT<br />

Michelle Sky Hayward, amongst the VIPs as our reporter<br />

Michelle Sky Hayward is a 25-year-old<br />

professional kitesurfer. She lives in Cape<br />

Town, South Africa with her husband<br />

Neil. She is passionate about kitesurfing<br />

but besides that, she enjoys going to the<br />

gym, spending time at the beach, travelling<br />

and of course writing. This is what<br />

she had to say about her experience reporting<br />

at the King of the Air:<br />

I had an amazing time reporting at the<br />

Red Bull King of the Air! <strong>Kitesoul</strong> is a<br />

great magazine to work for and it allowed<br />

me to gain VIP media access during the<br />

event. This way, I could meet some of<br />

the riders and people in the media and<br />

I got to have the best view! The conditions<br />

were perfect, the event is well run<br />

and the whole vibe was electric. This is a<br />

world-class event and I was so happy to<br />

be able to experience it first hand.
