Introduced to windsurfing by her father at the age of 9, Kylie has been competing ever since, initially in Olympic windsurfing and now in winging. She has relied on NeilPryde gear throughout her career: Olympic windsurfing on the NeilPryde RS:X, and for her windsurfing fun board gear, a combination of NP Combat and JP Freestyle Wave. Currently, she rides Fly wings and F and S-Winger JP boards.
As a winger and engineering student, Kylie is deeply passionate about wing and foil development. She particularly enjoys the opportunity to compare her sensations with the mechanical theory of the gear. Recently earning a bronze medal in GWA slalom, she is eagerly looking forward to further challenges with their new and excellent gear.
Winging has changed my athlete career a lot. I had the amazing opportunity to travel a lot, going around mythical spots such as Cape Town and Pozo. As a young windsurfer, I have always admired NeilPryde’s legends, especially Sarah-Quita as she was a real role model for the little girl I was. I must admit it is a dream come true to be part of this legendary team and to run for NeilPryde and JP’s colors.
Watersports is a passion I always shared with my dad and tried to get my mum into it as well. It feels amazing to have brought them to winging. I now share every single training session with my dad! He has been loving the gear as well and really helps me to question myself even more to go further into my feedback for the development.
Having clinched two 2nd places in a row on the two last stops of the slalom GWA tour, I have a real desire to go further and score a 1st next year.
On the freestyle side, I am having loads of fun trying and crashing! I am looking forward to landing some new tricks and improving my rankings on the tour.
Last year, NeilPryde gave me the opportunity to coach a clinic in Prasonisi. This experience has taught me a lot and allowed me to take a step back on the technical aspects of winging. It was a real pleasure to help passionate people improve their winging abilities and I am hoping to help some more in the future.
FAVORITE WING
FLY II PRO
...CAUSE FLYING WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN!
100% Aluula AerisTM and Aluula Aeris XTM in Leading Edge & Middle Strut
The 2024 FLY II PRO is an innovative advancement of the first FLY edition from 2023. The shape has undergone revisions similar to those of the FLY II, but it has also been enhanced with premium materials to deliver exceptional performance and user experience.
From the original FLY, our goal was to enhance stability and stiffness while also improving handling and control. The FLY II PRO introduces Aluula Aeris XTM, featuring a +/-45° X weave as opposed to regular Aluula, with lightweight Aluula AerisTM wingtips, resulting in significantly increased bias stiffness, precisely where it is needed.
The handle weight has been reduced, the FLY II PRO now features even lighter carbon handles in black EVA without texture, for a clean and technical look.
The sizes are carefully chosen - the half square metre increments of the Fly II Pro are optimum for the more 'pro‘ rider. From 3,5 to 6,5 - you can find your ideal premium NeilPryde wing.
HIGH END MATERIAL MIX
NeilPryde exclusively uses the new innovative ALUULA AerisTM and ALUULA Aeris XTM fabrics in the Fly II Pro Leading Edge and Strut – the new ALUULA materials allow for a thinner and stiffer Leading Edge and Middle Strut than ever before. Outstanding tear and abrasion resistance, excellent UV resistance, extremely low water absorption, and recyclability compared to conventional ALUULA GoldTM models!"
