Johara Freedom Sykes-Davies
Professional Kitesurfer and Snowkiter
Home Country: North Wales, UK.
Fav destinations: All places with water, snow or mountains… Brazil, Morocco, Alaska, Mexico… probably my all time favourite has to be British Columbia, Canada.  It just rocks for everything!
ExplorerGirls: Johara

I’ve been an adventurous water baby and snow bunny from the beginning,  I was always sailing, skiing or scrambling up mountains.  So I did a degree in Maritime Leisure Management then moved to B.C., Canada for a year as I think it’s the home of extreme sports.  

That’s where I first learnt to kitesurf.  Since then I have travelled the world to find the most epic kitesurf and snowkite destinations.  I love experiencing new spots and sharing them with the world through my writing and photography.  

Kitesurfing and snowkiting achievements:
British Kitesurf Association Professional Ladies Champion 2007
Conwy County Council Senior Sportswoman of the Year 2007
Star of the BBC1 ‘Kite’ Ident to be shown 40,000 on prime time T.V. in the UK.
PKRA Kitemaster’s Invitational, Portugal 4th place (2nd until foot injury!)
PKRA World Tour 2008 10th overall

I compete on the Professional Kite Rider’s Association World Tour and the Snowkite Master’s World Tour, am the Team Flexifoil manager, do journalistic work, get involved with every extreme sport I can, love keeping fit and healthy and adore spending time with my family, friends and pooches! 

I hope to see you all out there doing what you love in the outdoors and having an amazing time.
