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.
