Sensi Graves
Sensi Graves is a professional kiteboarder, entrepreneur confidence expert and women’s empowerment speaker. In 2007, Sensi tentatively signed up for a kiteboarding lesson in North Carolina’s Outer Banks and immediately fell in love. Just two years later, she applied to be a kiteboarding coach, relocated to the East Coast, and started collecting accolades. In 2012, she launched her eponymous swimwear label, Sensi Graves Swim, to meet the demands of her sport (after losing one too many string bikinis in the surf, she decided to tackle the job herself and design suits that actually stay on in rough conditions). The brand’s mission is to empower women to feel good in their bodies and inspire them to get outside.
Today, Sensi helps expand others’ ideas of what is possible by speaking and mentoring female entrepreneurs and creating content that uplifts, empowers and inspires. She focuses on helping women (and men!) feel good in their bodies, feel great about themselves and go out into the world and be awesome.
Sensi helps people feel like they’re enough now by sharing the story of becoming a pro kiteboarder and starting a business before she believed that she could. When not traveling for photoshoots, speaking gigs, or kiteboarding retreats and camps she mentors women on confidence and business.
Sensi has been featured in countless online and print publications including The Kiteboarder Magazine, Kiteworld, IKSURF Mag, The Kite Mag, KiteSpain, Barefootkings.com, Womenwhohustle.com, Stillstoked.com, and kitesista.com. She has been nominated for AWSI kiteboarder of the year for many years in a row and was ranked 3rd on the Kite Park League World Tour. Her bikini line has been recognized by Self Magazine as a top suit for sports and is the winner of the 2017 SELF Healthy Living Awards and in 2022 was featured on The Today Show. Sensi Graves Swim has also been featured in SUP the Mag, on Grindtv.com, on ESPNW.com and on Goldfishkiss.com among others.
