Get to know: Hannah Whiteley - Hangtime Podcast Episode 1

In the previous video with Hannah we rode the new Cabrinha Moto X Apex. On the way to the spot we had some time to catch up with her. Discussing all things life, mindset and business.

Check out the full chat on YouTube or Spotify and get inspired by her story. She’ll share more about how she rolled into the sport and her family. Very cool to find out that her dad is also a very avid kitesurfer and that they score many sessions together.

We also talk about the pressure of being a professional athlete. What actually goes into being a pro-kiter? It’s not only the riding, mental and physical training but also the business side of managing sponsors, projects, and coming up with content all the time. It’s a lot and all very time consuming things. With kitesurfing not being the biggest sport you have to be on top of it and creative enough to make it work. But hey, we do… and we love what we do so we keep following our hearts and passion.

Sharks pop up in this conversation and it’s definitely something that crosses our minds during some sessions out in Cape Town. Was it a sunfish or is it a shark?

Enjoy getting to know Hannah and myself a bit better and I hope to catch you in the next video again.

Peace out.
