James Carew GKA Kitesurf World Champion 2021 , ranked 1st on the tour stop in Sylt, 4th on the tour stop in Dakhla and 1st on the tour stop in Cape Verde in 2020. “Looking at the success of the Duotone wave team at the moment, I think the key is freedom. Duotone lets us all shine in our own way, there are no boxes or categories holding us back. Just ourselves and the different personalities of each rider. We get guidelines from our team managers and are being pushed if necessary, but in general, I’m free to do what I feel is necessary. Of course, we all push each other and thrive on each other’s energy. With Airton, it’s a little different as he is the one pushing me the most. It’s not hard to stay friends, we both have a big level of respect for each other and know that with a little extra push, great things happen. At times it’s difficult knowing that there is someone biting at your neck, on the same team as you, however, knowing that keeps the feeling of needing to push yourself very present.” Photo  Heidi Hansen, Leiria, Portugal TONE WAVE TEAM DOMINANCE OF THE DUOTONE WAVE TEAM DOMINANCE OF THE DUOTONE WAVE TEAM DOMINANCE OF THE DUOTONE TEAM DOMINAN WAVE
