Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Do you take some special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Ms. Kirsty Jones:
Traveling a lot, and living in different countries and cultures, means its difficult to stick to a special diet, so i’m flexible with what I eat. As soon as I have choice, I choose fresh, organic, healthy whole foods, and I don’t eat meat unless its offered when I’m a guest somewhere. I listen to my body, what it needs, and wherever I am I try to eat local, seasonal produce. I have a big appetite, and want to eat every 2 hours, which I usually do, as well as eating a decent breakfast, lunch and dinner!
Kirsty Jones on WomenFitness: Actually, I only just discovered Womenfitness.net recently and now I’m hooked! Its full of really interesting articles, features and interviews.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have glowing skin and gorgeous hairs. Do you take some kind of skin treatment to keep it young and glowing and secondly what you do to your hairs to make them look so stunning?
Ms. Kirsty Jones:
If you look closer at my hair its quite broken and damaged form the combination of salt water, sun and wind! The reason it hasn’t broken more is i’m sure because I eat and live very healthily , eating plenty of natural oils, fish and nuts, and I use a Redken treatment hair conditioner that is the only things that enables me to get the extreme tangles out! I have used Redken ‘All soft’ conditioning treatment for the last 8 years after every session in the sea, and its really saved my hair and time! As for my skin, I’m sure its quite damaged and wind beaten, but since I was about 20 I started using higher factor sunblocks, factor 50 + and now I always wear a hat and sunglasses when i’m teaching/coaching. I hardly ever sunbath so my body skin is ok.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Advice and motivational words to our inspiring and budding professional kitesurfing girls who all are your fans, what they should do for their climb to ladder of success in the field of kitesurfing ?
Ms. Kirsty Jones:
Shoot for the moon! Even if you miss you land among the stars! ‘ Thats a good way to start. Then, I would say to anyone wanting to be a professional kitesurfer, they should make sure they have work experience, skills and preferably a qualification, so they can work when needed to fund their training, traveling, and passion for their sport, because sponsorship can come, go and change like the wind! Being a professional kitesurfer, doing the World Tour and being sponsored full time, means making sacrifices, staying focused, and working hard on and off the water, physically and mentally.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You offers kite, yoga and surf workshops and retreats in your favorite locations worldwide, as well as one to one kitesurf coaching and sport specific yoga sessions and programs. Elaborate on this endeavor of yours?
Ms. Kirsty Jones:
I run my own KJ Experience courses in some of my favourite, more easily accessible places World wide. The locations for 2014 were Dakhla & Essaouira – Morocco, Lanzarote, and Mauritius, and there are 2 courses remaining for 2014 in Dakhla. The courses are aimed at kitersurfers who want to progress and step up to the next level with their riding, integrating daily yoga sessions, surf/SUP sessions, bespoke coaching, and exploring on and off the water!
Each course is specially designed and run by myself, and tailored to each persons aims, goals and kitesurf level. The next course dates are October 30th – November 6th and Nov 29th – December 6th at Ocean Vagabond, Dakhla. When i’m not running my courses I live and work in Dakhla, at the Club Mistral centre, were I run daily yoga sessions and personalised one to one, or group kitesurf, surf and SUP lessons for all levels.
I love being able to help others enjoy the sea as much as I do, and to progress, push their limits, and take care of their body and mind at the same time. Combining yoga, kitesurfing, surfing and nature is how I found my bliss and balance in life, so I want others to experience this also!I have some info on my website www.kirstyjones.com
