PORSCHE x DUOTONE – Two pioneers. One vision.
Driven by wind. Powered by performance. The long-standing partnership between Porsche and Duotone unite in a limited-edition collaboration, inspired by a relentless pursuit of innovation, performance, and passion. Drawing design inspiration from the Cayenne Turbo Electric, this exclusive collection translates the visual language of one of the most advanced electric performance vehicles ever created into a unique Kiteboarding package, designed for riders who appreciate precision engineering in every detail.
At the centre of the collection is a special pre-release edition of the 2027 Evo SLS, paired with a matching Jaime SLS featuring a dedicated Big Air Handle and a Click Bar finished in the signature colour palette inspired by the Cayenne Turbo Electric. Every design element reflects the progressive character of the vehicle, combining clean lines, sophisticated colour transitions, and a performance-driven aesthetic that feels equally at home on the water as it does on the road.
Both Porsche and Duotone share a belief that innovation is more than technology alone. It is the courage to challenge conventions, redefine limits, and create experiences that inspire. One brand harnesses electricity, the other harnesses wind. Both transform raw energy into pure emotion.
The PORSCHE x DUOTONE collection celebrates this connection. It represents the meeting point of precision and freedom, engineering and nature, control and adventure.
Produced in strictly limited numbers, the complete collection, across all individual components, is limited to a maximum of just 1,156 pieces, a direct reference to the incredible peak power output of the Cayenne Turbo Electric. Designed for riders, collectors, and enthusiasts who recognise that true performance is not defined by a single discipline. It is a mindset.
“We were only shooting at sunrise and sunset. It was tiring, but we got some epic shots.”
Pioneering Spirit. Innovation. Passion.
PORSCHE x DUOTONE.
Where speed meets the power of wind.
“I’d seen the products in pictures beforehand, but when I saw them in real life and held them in my hands, the quality of the design and the finishing really stood out.”
Behind the Campaign
The launch campaign was photographed in Le Barcarès, France, with long-time Duotone team rider Reno Romeu helping bring the collection to life. Speaking on The Kite Pod, Reno revealed just how demanding the shoot was.
“We went there to shoot the new Porsche x Duotone campaign with the complete range of equipment. We were only shooting at sunrise and sunset, so every day started around 4am before heading back out again for the evening session. It was tiring, but we got some epic shots.”
Capturing the perfect images wasn’t simply a case of turning up when the wind was blowing. Every sequence had to be repeated from multiple angles, with photographers, film crews and the Porsche team all working together to create the final imagery. The kite needed to be flown in exactly the right position while the car, rider and camera all came together in perfect sync.
“The car is insane. It has 1,156 horsepower, and when you put your foot down you’re completely pinned back into the seat.”
Having seen the collection in advance, Reno admits the products made a much bigger impression once they arrived on location.
“I’d seen the products in pictures beforehand and thought they looked nice, but when I saw them in real life and held them in my hands, the quality of the design and the finishing really stood out.”
The campaign also gave Reno the chance to experience the Cayenne Turbo Electric itself.
“Every shot had to be repeated from different angles, and the kite had to be in exactly the right position. It took a lot more work than people realise.”
“The car is insane. It has 1,156 horsepower, and when you put your foot down you’re completely pinned back into the seat.”
More Than a Limited Edition
For Reno, who has now spent almost twenty years as a Duotone rider, projects like this represent more than simply creating a special colourway. They bring together the engineering teams, designers and athletes to produce something that reflects the shared values of both brands: innovation, performance and attention to detail.
The result is one of the most distinctive collaborations the kiteboarding industry has seen, combining Porsche’s performance heritage with Duotone’s continual pursuit of progression on the water.
“I’ve been with the company for twenty years, and I’m still passionate about helping develop the next generation of products.”
