Joanna (asia) Litwin

Originally a windsurfer, Polish rider Joanna "Asia" Litwin was encouraged by her uncle, owner of the brand NOBILE to try kiting at age twelve and has not looked back since.
In 2007, after just one year kiting, Joanna won multiple national events in Poland and realized that she wanted to commit to the sport professionally.
From there she quickly progressed onto her first international PKRA events in 2008 (at the age of fourteen) where she was named "Rookie of the Event” (Women’s category) in Tarifa Spain.

By 2009 Joanna's development and progression had earned her a spot on the PKRA winners podium, not only achieving first place in freestyle at the world cup in Germany, but also second place in the overall world rankings. Now in her fourth year of international competition, Joanna is one to watch on the water.  Her powerful and forcible style has garnered her fourth place in the current world rankings and gained her sponsorship support from X-sport, O'neill wetsuits and Nobile Kiteboarding.  We can expect much more in the future from this impressive young rider.
