This past Thursday, I talked to Jody Stowe a Miami local that kite boards recreationally. We met through her daughter Patsy Stowe, who also is a student at Nova Southeastern University, after I told Patsy that I was taking kite surfing lessons. Patsy explained how her mom has been kite surfing for the past few years, so I asked to set up a meeting to talk with Jody about her experiences kite surfing. Jody is a very unique kite surfer because she is not only over 40 years of age, but she is also female in a predominately male sport. Jody has been kite boarding for the past five years, but she only goes out every other month or so. Jody knows she may not be as skilled as other riders that spend more time on the water, but she still enjoys going kite surfing occasionally. Jody said that one of her main problems while kite surfing is tracking her board down after she falls. This problem is because the Jimmy Lewis board that she uses has a sandal harness instead of a boot, meaning that your feet aren’t strapped into the board. Jody explained how she has lost her board on two different occasions and had it returned to her by fellow kite surfers. Jody was very light hearted in the interview making jokes and telling me other stories about her kite surfing adventures. I got to see all the equipment that Jody uses including her 8m Cabrina kite and harness. Talking to Jody proved to be very useful because it diversified my view of kite surfing, giving me the view of a more recreational kite surfer, in contrast to all the “diehard” kite surfers I had interviewed previously.
