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.

Overall a fantastic place with some priceless unspoilt kiting spots. With great people and food and cheap beer (they even come with a plate of chips as well if you’re lucky), you can't beat it. Northern Cyprus deserves attention but don’t tell everyone; we don’t want to spoil it with overcrowding like some of the more famous spots. Wind and Weather...

The unhooked downloop is a satisfying morsel that unfortunately doesn’t get enough airtime these days.
