The Interview - Reno Romeu - Twenty Years at the Top

For more than two decades, Reno Romeu has been a fixture at the very top of kiteboarding. From discovering the sport in Brazil and becoming national champion to competing on the World Tour, travelling the globe, and building one of the longest-running relationships between a professional rider and a major brand, Reno has seen kiteboarding evolve from almost the beginning. We sit down with him to talk about those early years, life as a professional rider, his enduring relationship with Duotone, and how his role within the sport continues to evolve.

Board Off Varial with Handle

This really is a timeless classic. It adds some flair to a straight board off and brings back fond memories of the Space Monkeys generation and all their peers, spinning the board around tirelessly in competition the year before Martin et al went boom into freestyle:) A while back we covered the tail flip varial. Now we’ll go through the...

Beach Start Pass

This is an audacious move that you’ll often spot in fun-filled videos of distant shores. A jumped beach start looks mighty fine but throwing a pass in as well, that’s the icing on the cake. If you’ve ever tried it but not yet succeeded, you’ll agree that it’s not as simple as first appears. However, rest assured with a few...

Hooked In Back to Blind

This is a beautiful combo for you to add to your repertoire. We love a good hooked-in blind landing. Unhooked freestyle may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but having a few popped hooked-in moves in the bag for low-level showing off is a must. The back-to-blind is a peachy move, and pairing it with an Ole makes it even...

Cabrinha Xcal Apex

The Cabrinha Xcal Apex 2026 is a high-performance freestyle twin tip built for riders who value speed, strong edge grip and an immediate response when loading the board. It shares the fast outline and explosive character of the standard Xcal, but its Apex construction increases stiffness and reduces the delay between rider input and board reaction. The result is a...

DUOTONE Jaime Concept Blue

The Jaime Concept Blue brings Duotone's established freestyle and big-air Jaime shape into the brand's lower-impact Concept Blue construction. It is aimed at ambitious riders who want strong edge grip, a direct take-off and a sporty response while placing greater emphasis on alternative fibres and reduced production impact. The board retains a hard flex and performance-oriented bottom shape, so its...
