She has held the title of Global Kitesports Association (GKA) Freestyle World Championship four times: 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022 and the GKA Big Air World Champion three times: 2018, 2022 and 2023.[1] [2] She is a seven time World Champion at 18 years old.[3]

Biography

Sol was born to an American mother and Brazilian father and is originally from Jericoacoara, Brasil. She started kitesurfing at eight-years-old. By the time Sol was 13 years old, she was a four-time Junior World Kitesurfing Champion and considered the "Brazilian Kite Prodigy" by the Kite Mag.[4] [5]

In 2018, at 13-years-old, Sol competed in her first Professional Global Kitesports Association World Tour and won the Air Games World Title after winning all three Big Air venues of the GKA World Tour.[6] Later in the same year, 2018, Sol competed in the GKA Freestyle World Championship Tour and again won all three Freestyle stops to bring home her second World Title.[7] [8] [9]

In 2019, Sol finished her GKA World Tour with another win in the Freestyle discipline.[10] During the 2019 season, not only did Sol participate in the GKA Freestyle Tour, but also participated in the GKA Strapless World Tour stop in Prea, Brazil. Mika managed to throw down a perfect ten and take the win in this new discipline.[11] [12]

In 2020, the GKA did not crown any World Champions due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. However, the GKA hosted one Freestyle event in Isla de Guajiru, Brasil and one Distance Battle Virtual Event. Mika took the Freestyle win at both events and 2nd in the Strapless Distance Battle virtual event.[13] [14] [15]

In 2021, Sol won the World Championship title for the fourth time. Mika was the first female to land 317, a maneuver that combines a 540-degree rotation and double handle-pass, and the only female to land this trick in a competition. She not only landed it in the semi-finals but also nailed it in the finals and scored a perfect ten on both tricks.[16] Interview with Local Kiteboarding (LKB).[17] [18] [19] During 2021, Porsche and Mikaili Sol work together on the Taycan Cross Tourism.[20] [21] [22]

In 2022, Sol conquered World Titles in Freestyle and Big Air crowning her a six-time World Champion.[23] [24] 2023, Mika took home the Qatar Airways GKA Big Air world title in June 2023 after winning the GKA Lords of Trams event in Bacares, France https://kitesurfingmag.com/finals-lords-of-tram-gka-big-air-kite-wod-cup-france-2023-results/ and the GKA in Tarifa, Spain https://www.andalucia.com/tarifa/kite-surfing/gka-big-air-world-championships-tarifa-2023.
