Info:
Miss Kiting Ambassador and current resident of Cabarate, Dominican Republic, Laurel has retired from the competition lifestyle to run her own Kiteboarding school and expose the sport to as much of the world as possible.

Her positive attitude, smile and stoke were always welcome. Laurel describes kiting as, "The biggest rush I have ever felt." Growing up snowboarding and playing volleyball Laurel first saw kiting in New Zealand where she had to try it. Moving to Hawaii to train and kite because of its constant wind helped her develop the skills she needed to travel the world and kite professionally.

Most recently she set a world record with seven other women crossing the English Channel on a kite. Laurel is committed to teaching women and helping them get involved in the sport and its progression.
