We recently connected with Melissa Kitemermaid Mejia and have shared our conversation below.
Melissa, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to have you retell us the story behind how you came up with the idea for your business, I think our audience would really enjoy hearing the backstory.
It took only two hours into my kiteboarding journey, and I knew I was hooked. The rush of the wind and that feeling of gliding across the water awakened a sense of freedom and aliveness I’d never experienced before. I knew then that kiteboarding would profoundly impact my life, and I was determined to pursue it becoming deeply passionate about the sport and its potential to enrich lives. Recognizing the profound impact it had on my own well-being and driven by a passion to share this exhilaration with others, I embarked on my quest to master the sport.
The first couple of years, I traveled extensively, gaining valuable experience and becoming a certified instructor, enabling me to spread the joy of kiteboarding to others.
The culmination of my dedication and hard work was the realization of my dream: owning South Florida Kiteboarding. I’ve had the privilege of introducing countless individuals to the thrill of kiteboarding and watching them experience the same transformative joy that I did.
Ten years later, my passion remains unwavering, and I’m proud to have built a community that shares my enthusiasm for this incredible sport.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
When I took the helm of South Florida Kiteboarding, I invested everything – my savings, a bank loan, and unwavering dedication. Renting a space, I pinched pennies, sleeping on the floor, just over a towel for weeks. Yet, I didn’t mind the sacrifices. Owning my business meant living my passion daily.
Those humble beginnings fueled my drive, and I poured my heart into building a premier kiteboarding experience. Today, I’m proud of what we’ve achieved, and I’m grateful for the journey.
My story is a testament to the rewards of unwavering determination, and the joy of pursuing one’s dreams.”
