Laurel Eastman owns the LEK Kiteboarding School in Cabarete Dominican Republic. Her speciality is helping newbie and experienced athletes reach their kitesurfing goals, be awesome, and change the freakin' world. She also leads an active Facebook group called Awesome Kiteboarders, which is home to over 100 budding (and flowering) kiteboarding rockstars. She believes it’s always the right time for a theme party and that snuggles with her Chiweenie Peter Pan are a daily necessity.
