Bruna Kajiya

Join me with on this conversation with the wind, where I share my experience in the water and what keeps me coming back. 

After all these years I still get the butterflies, this is a miracle and its an indicator of my direction, what a blessing to have kiting in my life to be able to express myself and fulfil my mission in this world. 

I’m amazed with how well Aris Giannoukos managed to capture in depth the essence of my connection with kiting and this particular special place to me, that is Greece.  This set also leaves me aw of God’s creation and it is one of my favorite places on earth. 

Thankful to see this project come to life and I pray I can keep sharing moments like these with you guys!

Convos with the Wind

From competing in Mexico straight to compete in Germany... in just 3 days. This wasn't just a freestyle competition—it was a test of adaptability.

What happens when you finish one World Cup, jump on a 39-hour journey, cross 8 time zones, land in a completely different climate, and have to compete again almost immediately?

The second stop of the 2026 GKA Freestyle Kite World Cup took me to Borkum, Germany. We left behind tropical heat, warm water, and sunshine for the unpredictable North Sea, where every day brought something different.

One minute it was sunny. The next it was pouring rain. Thunderstorms rolled through, the wind disappeared, then came back stronger than ever. Every day demanded a different strategy.

Thanks for following the journey! ❤️ If you enjoyed the video, don't forget to Like, Comment, and Subscribe for more behind-the-scenes from the GKA Freestyle World Tour.

Love the Ride – Bruna Kajiya Kitesurfing in Greece

After five world titles, people often ask me: Why do you still push so hard? 

If you're chasing your own passion — on or off the water — I hope this video inspires you to keep going.

In this video, I return to one of my favorite freestyle kitesurfing spots in the world — Greece, one of the places where  I feel most alive. 

The conditions are world-class for freestyle training, and the vibe, the people, the culture — they all remind me why I started this journey in the first place.

Kitesurfing, for me is about progression, passion, and community. I love pushing myself with friends like Maxime Chabloz, who I trained with in this trip — sharing sessions, feeding off each other's energy, and chasing that feeling of flow.
 Greece gives me that spark. It’s a place where I can train hard, grow, and reconnect with why I ride.

New video coming soon! #kitesurfing #brunakajiya

5x Freestyle Kiteboarding World Champion Bruna Kajiya travels to Peru for an unexpected adventure. Instead of freestyle tricks, she trades her board skills for wave riding on the raw, powerful coastline of Pacasmayo — home to some of the longest left-hand waves in the world.
With two freestyle stops dropped from the kiteboarding world tour, Bruna suddenly had an open calendar. What could have been a setback became an opportunity to explore a new side of the sport: kitesurfing in Peru’s legendary waves.
In PERU – Off the Script, Bruna steps out of her comfort zone and into the world of wave riding — chasing rhythm, challenge, and a deeper connection with the ocean in one of South America’s most iconic kiteboarding destinations.

PERU - Unexpected Kiteboarding Adventure - Off the Script

You’ve watched the epic wins and fierce battles.
But what if the real story started long before the titles?

In this intimate, cinematic journey, Bruna Kajiya — 5 times kitsurf world champion — takes us home to Ilhabela, a lush island off the coast of Brazil where wind, water, and wild nature raised her.

This is not just another sports video.This is about where strength is born.Where grit is earned.
A sports woman journey, pushing the boundaries and inspiring more women. 
Where the ocean teaches, and falling is just part of learning to rise.
"I wasn’t chasing titles back then… I was chasing freedom." – Bruna Kajiya

 Ilhabela gave her more than roots — it gave her flow, resilience, and a fire that fuels every ride.

Whether you're an aspiring athlete, an ocean lover, or just someone seeking depth behind the spotlight, this video is for you.

Express Yourself

Why do we ride? I can give you uncountable answers to this questions, but what’s the ONE that makes me get out of bed everyday and give my all in the water?

For me its about expressing myself, I feel thru my riding you can see me. The way I move, the dedication with what I train, how I interact with people, the silly jumps and splashes, that’s how I go about life as well.

How about you? Why do you ride?

Action clip from Tahiti

When you find yourself at arms reach of a long awaited goal, with every step leading to that, a drop was shed, a drop of sweat, of tear, of joy, of salt water. Until it comes down to that very last one, ¨Until The Last Drop¨, my road to a World Title in one magic minute.
