Not all the brands are pushing female orientated products and whilst there is argument that it is not necessary, brands that support the girls and produce specific ranges and products deserve the recognition.
These girls have battled and fought all year and shown determination and consistency along with fighting spirit.
Whilst the sport is constantly pushed by those on the water, it takes a lot of hard work from those off the water to support, and expand the boundaries of our industry, often sacrificing time on the water for time in meetings and on computers.
The video is the medium that communicates the most with the masses so whilst this award may not be unique, it deserves the recognition nonetheless.
Time does not stand still and there is always new talent biting on the heels of the established.
Whilst we all love to be sponsored, some deals are bigger than others and allow female kiters to reach out to a much wider mainstream audience.
Being a sponsored kick-ass rider is one thing, but being an ambassador and representing your brand to the fullest requires more than just skills on the water, it is about a positive image, good communication, push product development and much more.
As the year comes to a close it is time to take a look back on the contribution of the athletes and industry and give our vote to those who are representing for the girls throughout the kite surfing world.
