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.

Deep Water Board Carry

We thought we’d include how to carry a board for a couple of reasons: firstly no end of kiters comment to us about how hard it is to carry a board now that so many people don’t use handles. Secondly it’s a bloody good way of keeping karma on your side, a bit like not eating Shark Empanadas, and we...

Being able to get back to your board or back to the beach is just as important as being able to ride. Without the confidence which this skill gives you, you’ll be sentenced to a life wearing a board leash, doomed to never pushing yourself to learn anything new or fancy, and a hobby involving much more swimming and faffing...

Key to that is the use of HT140 material in the leading edge, combined...
