Kiting was not always easy for me because I injured my knee very young, in 2014 (rupture of<br />

the ACL). I was 16, I made the decision not to have surgery at that time because my growth<br />

cartilage had not matured, so I kited for 2 years without ACL, protected by splints and muscle<br />

reinforcements large enough to allow me to kite at a high level. I then made the decision to<br />

have the surgery in July 2016 therefore to sacrifice 7 months of kiting.<br />

It was very difficult mentally as well as physically, but it made me grow up enormously. I<br />

came out stronger and more motivated than ever!
