For more than a decade, Matchu Lopes has been one of the defining figures in strapless kiteboarding. Alongside Airton Cozzolino and Mitu Monteiro, he helped turn a small Cape Verdean scene into a global movement, pushing surfboard riding to the very front of the sport. Now based on Boa Vista, where he runs a Duotone Pro Centre and spends more time at home, Matchu reflects on the journey that took him from a small island to the world stage, and why wave riding still means everything.
Le Barcarès: A spot where innovation and skill take control. Records are broken, and riders push the limits of Big Air kiteboarding. This event is known as one of the most extreme in the sport for a reason. Lords of Tram 2026 was an edition that had heads turning and questions being asked.
In a sport driven by innovation, it’s easy to get lost in the noise of new releases and big marketing campaigns. Roode Boards has taken a different route. No hype, no rush, just a clear focus on building something that works, and doing it properly from the ground up. The result is a brand that’s arrived quietly, but is starting to make a serious impact.
Rou reflects on 26 years of chasing wind and waves, and on a winter session in Pembrokeshire that reminded him exactly why he fell in love with kiteboarding in the first place. It is a story about risk, reward, and those rare moments when everything lines up: wind direction, swell, sunshine, and a little touch of magic.
From winning the Youth Big Air World Championship to taking on the world’s best in Brazil and Tarifa, at just 17, Finn Flügel is proving himself as one of the sport’s most versatile young riders.

The event set a series of new records and highlighted the explosive growth of team-based big air competition in our sport.
Behind the Duotone brand is Philipp Becker, the brand’s Marketing and Communications Manager, who’s been part of the ride for 15 years. As the new gear hits stores, we caught up with him to chat about Young Blood, D/LAB, and how Duotone keeps pushing the sport forward.
WOO’s fifth annual kite and wing throwdown brought riders together worldwide from September 13 to October 12, turning everyday sessions into a month-long battle for glory!

Summer in the UK might usually mean light winds and foiling sessions, but when a massive storm rolled through recently, it lit up the beaches and highlighted just how extreme our sport has become. In this editorial, Rou Chater reflects on the rise of storm chasing, the influence of big air and apps, and why, above all, safety has to come first.
