MY STORY

Hi, I'm Gabrielė, and outside of my hometown I'm known as Gabby. Yes, you probably understood correctly that the name Gspot comes from my name, that is – Gabby's Spot. I am literally crazy about kitesurfing and I want to share this passion with others. Before the discovery of kitesurfing, I worked in an office and walked in high heels, and today I can't imagine greater happiness than running barefoot in the meadows of Svencelė! Maybe someone will find my story interesting, maybe I will provide motivation to pursue a dreamSo I want to briefly tell you how I ended up here.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

My life changed in 2016 when I was introduced to kitesurfing here in Lithuania, where Gspot is now home. It was love at first sight! I experienced firsthand the value of this wonderful lifestyle in my personal and professional life – more motivation, positivity appeared, and courage became my greatest ally. Many people think that courage is innate, few know that courage is like a habit, it can be developed, so after revealing this secret, I did not stop progressing. Having become a little more familiar with kitesurfing, I knew that I wanted to GO BIG, I was fascinated by all the kiteloops, high jumps and Old School tricks. I traveled the world, was interested, observed, trained and started participating in international competitions. As a result, I received sponsorship offers from some of the biggest kitesurfing brands, which gave me even more motivation to improve. I am super happy and at the same time grateful for this wonderful activity, because it allowed me to become a world record holder. On January 17, 2020, in Cape Town, I managed to jump 23.6 m. I dedicate this record and this personal victory to all women and to those who lack self-confidence. 

towards a dream

One of the biggest and most important factors was and still is the wonderful and active community that influenced my progress and desire to share my passion, knowledge and experiences with everyone who wants to. The dream of a kiteboarding school was born only when I started doing this sport, so after reminding myself once again that there will never be that perfect time and that courage is a habit that needs to be trained, I decided to invite you to Gspot Kiteboarding!

 

I look forward to welcoming you with all my heart, see you at Gspot!
