Fresh Video Drops to Stoke Your Ride
🎬 Four stories that will stay with you!
We’re excited to share four powerful new films that take you right into the heart of kiteboarding. From Mika Sol’s storm-lashed return to claim her 8th world title, to Matchu Lopes’ deep connection to his roots in Cabo Verde, to Lewis Crathern’s mission to inspire the next generation through sustainability, and James Carew chasing the longest left-handers in rural Peru — these stories go far beyond the ride. They capture the passion, purpose, and spirit that make kiteboarding so much more than “just” a sport. Press play, get inspired, and carry that energy into your own ride. 🍿
MIKA SOL – RETURN OF A CHAMPION
At just 21, Mika Sol has lived more competitive highs and lows than most riders experience in a lifetime. After stepping away from competition for a year, she came back hungrier than ever — and claimed her 8th world title at the GKA Lords of Tram. But this wasn’t an easy return. Filmed by Seb Porral, this film takes you behind the scenes of one of the wildest events Mika has ever faced, with gusts over 50 knots and all the mental and physical battles of a true champion. Raw, real, and impossible to look away from.

MATCHU LOPES – FIDJU DI TERA
"Fidju di Tera" — “Son of the Land.” For Matchu Lopes, Cabo Verde isn’t just home; it’s where his creativity, balance, and purpose come alive. After months of competing, filming, and chasing wind and waves across the globe, this film captures the feeling of returning to the islands that ground and recharge him. Shot over the winter and marked by unexpected challenges — including an injury during production — it’s a raw, intimate glimpse into how deeply these islands shape who he is, both as a rider and as a person.
POWERING THE FUTURE OF KITEBOARDING
Kiteboarding connects us to nature — and with that connection comes responsibility. In this inspiring piece, Lewis Crathern brings Duotone’s Concept Blue mission into classrooms across the UK, showing how our sport can spark powerful conversations about sustainability. Through hands-on demos, personal stories, and a look at our cleaner-material innovations, Lewis inspires the next generation to ride consciously and protect the playground we all share.
