Jalou Langeree is only 16 years old and is already competing on the PKRA whenever she can make it to a competition. We met up with Jalou recently while she was visiting her famous big brother Kevin Langeree in Cape Town, South Africa.
My first impression of Jalou was to notice how beautiful she is. I was really keen to see her kite, but only had a glimpse of her kiting a few times. The wind was not good for the days that she visited South Africa, but we look forward to seeing her return again sometime soon.
Jalou is completing her final school year now, and should be done by the end of May 2007. After this she plans to travel the world and follow in the footsteps of her brother Kevin.
Carlo and I took Jalou for breakfast at our favourite spot, Cafe Orca in Melkbosstrand. It was refreshing to speak to a teenager who has not fallen prey to peer pressure and the nasty traps of drugs and smoking.
This proved to me that this young lady has a strong character, and will not easily be intimidated by her peers.
