Maria Kinkina has been steadily climbing up the rankings on this year’s KSWT and took a solid fifth place finish at this year’s event in Viana do Castelo, Portugal. She’s sitting in tenth overall and has been competing around Europe even outside of the Kite-Surf World Tour to sharpen her game in the last couple of seasons!
She actually lives in London and this shot of her was from her debut at the British Wavemasters in 2017!
