158 Awards Daniela Moroz: she is blond, young and invincible 2012. When she received the prestigious award during the ceremony set up in the elegant Model Room of the New York Yacht Club in Manhattan, Daniela did not hide her own surprise “I was completely surprised when they told me I’d won,” said Moroz. “I didn’t think I would get it because I don’t regard myself as a sailor. Kiting is a very different sport and I thought they would choose a sailor. “While sailing and kiting have their differences, we’re all sailors,” Moroz said. “We have a passion for the wind that no one else understands". Moroz had a phenomenal year in 2016, just her first year of international competition. The high school sophomore won the IKA Formula Kite World Championship last September in Weifang-Binhai, China. She followed up that success by winning the female division of the inaugural Hydrofoil Pro Tour, which included victories at the final two stops in Mauritius and Rockingham, Western Australia. Moroz was bitten by the sailing bug before she was even born. Her parents, Vlad and Linda, are both avid windsurfers and
competed nationally. Her mom, Linda, sailed a windsurf regatta on San Francisco Bay while pregnant with Daniela. By the time Daniela had to choose between windsurfing and kitesurfing her father had taken up the latter and she saw it as the next wave of water-borne participatory sport. “Kiting is an extreme sport and can be dangerous. By the time I started learning it had gotten a lot safer than when my dad started five years earlier,” said Daniela Moroz. “A lot of windsurfers are transitioning to kiting. It’s easier on the body and you go a lot faster. I’d done windsurfing when I was younger and kiting is the next progression of water sports.” Moroz looks up to Johnny and Erika Heineken, the legendary brother-sister kitesurfing duo, but also to her instructor, Sandy Parker, who provided the right amount of guidance to develop a world champion and Rolex award winner before she even earned her driver’s license. “She’s an amazing girl, very mature for her age,” said Parker. “When we first met her dad introduced us and I didn’t believe it when she said she was 11 years old. She’s tall for her age. “The hardest part of kiting is understanding how the wind works and how it interacts with the kite,” Parker said. “Daniela’s windsurfing background helped her understand all of that early in her lessons. Kitesurfing is about multitasking, flying the kite and controlling the board. She was able to put it all together very quickly.” What she really does is putting together her passion for the sea and water sports with a pure talent, just as an outstanding athlete, this is Daniela Moroz.
