A SHORT STORY ABOUT AELLA

Aella  means "whirlwind" or "storm wind" in ancient Greek.

Whirlwind as a name symbolizes power, movement, and untamed energy - perfect for someone deeply connected to nature, the ocean, or wind-based sports like kitesurfing.

Aella evokes the spirit of freedom, feminine strength and wild beauty. It's more than a feeling.

THE HEART BEHIND AELLA

Hey, I’m Dani - a Swiss-born, South Italian ocean lover with a passion for adventure, nature, and living life to the fullest.

After growing up in the heart of Switzerland and traveling the world, I found my second home in Costa Rica, where the wild beauty of the ocean and the vibrant spirit of life stole my heart. It’s here that I discovered kitesurfing, and everything changed. The wind, the waves, the freedom - it became more than just a sport; it became a way of life.

I speak five languages, laugh a lot, and believe the best moments in life are the ones we share - chasing sunsets, dancing and creating epic memories together.

Let’s live wildly, love deeply, and ride the wind wherever it takes us.

OUR TEAM AND PARTNERS

We’re proud to work alongside partners who, like us, are deeply connected to the natural world. Ocean lovers, kitesurfers - we share more than just a love for wind and waves.
