About me.
- Helen Thompson
- I started kitesurfing on the Scottish island of Tiree where i live about 4 and a half years ago. I had seen it in the Vendee region of FRance when i was 14 on a family holiday and just thought it looked incredible. I first got involved with kite buggying and then progressed to land boarding as i was too young to have a proper kitesurfing lesson. I had windsurfed from the age of 8 and wake boarded before so it was a natural progression to put the two skills together. I began competing in 2006 and at my first event i won the amature section . I couldn't beleive it. So the following year i traveled to south Africa to train and try to learn some more of the more technical freestyle tricks and get into some big waves. This paid off and i was second overall in the Pro fleet in 2007. This year was the highest point so far . I won a a second at The KPWT World Championships in FRance and then went on to win the Overall British Championship TItle 2008. Which brings us up to now.
