Fueled by freedom and community
From a young age, I’ve always been drawn to nature and the thrill of sports that embody freedom. This attraction is what ignited my passion for kitesurfing and wingfoiling. The exhilarating rush of adrenaline and the feeling of liberation that come with these sports resonate deeply with me.
What I love most is the sense of community that accompanies these experiences. Being part of a group that shares the same enthusiasm creates an incredible bond, enriching my time on the water. It's not just about the sport; it’s about the connections we make and the adventures we share together. Ultimately, the combination of freedom, adrenaline, and a supportive community is what fuels my love for kitesurfing and wingfoiling.
A unique approach to learning
My approach to teaching and guiding is deeply influenced by my extensive experience on mega yachts and catamarans, navigating through various countries and conditions. Over the years, I have the privilege of working with individuals ranging from 10 to 85 years old, which has enriched my understanding of different perspectives and learning styles.
I believe in creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone feels comfortable and excited to learn. My method revolves around adapting to the unique needs of each individual, ensuring that I provide tailored guidance that fosters confidence and skill development. When people work with me, they can expect a focus on safety, enjoyment, and connection with nature. I emphasize the importance of teamwork and communication while encouraging each participant to discover their own passion for the sport. Whether you’re a beginner or more experienced, my goal is to make the learning process engaging and memorable. Ultimately, my diverse background allows me to bring a wealth of knowledge and a personal touch to every session, ensuring that everyone leaves with not just new skills but also lasting memories.
Savoring life's simple pleasures
Beyond my skills and achievements, the most important message I want people to take away from my journey is the value of savoring life’s simple pleasures. In the fast-paced world we live in, it’s easy to overlook the beauty in everyday moments. Through my experiences on the water, I’ve learned that true joy often lies in the little things—feeling the wind on your face, the warmth of the sun, or the camaraderie shared with others.
I encourage everyone I work with to embrace these moments, to find delight in the journey rather than solely focusing on the destination. By fostering a mindset that values simplicity, I hope to inspire others to cultivate a deeper connection with nature and themselves, enriching not just their skills but their overall life experiences.
“Anastasia's passion is contagious! Her guidance made learning wingfoiling an absolute joy, and I felt safe and inspired every step of the way.”
