In this episode of Inside the World of Duotone, we get to know Carsten Böhnstedt, a German pilot with a deep passion for kiteboarding and a life shaped by travel, precision, and the constant pull of the wind. From regular trips to Cape Town to sessions across different corners of the world, Carsten shares how kiteboarding became far more than just a hobby. We talk about the connection between flying and kiting, how aerodynamics, airflow, and wind play a role in both worlds, and whether being a pilot changes the way you ride, or the other way around. We also dive into how he met Ross Dillon, how that friendship developed, and why Duotone became his brand of choice. Along the way, the conversation reveals the person behind the profession, what drives him, what excites him, and the places that keep calling him back. A conversation about perspective, freedom, and the unique overlap between life in the air and life on the water.
