In 2006 the first-ever international Young Blood Camp in Kiteboarding took place.
For riders like Reno Romeu this first camp was the kick off to their career as a professional kiteboarder.

After multiple national Young Blood camps, in 2021, Duotone Kiteboarding stepped up the game. Together with new partner Porsche, it revived the Young Blood concept, hosting a long awaited international Invitational Camp in El Gouna, Egypt. Among the participants was Andrea Principi, who shortly after the camp claimed the 2022 GKA Big Air World Champion Title.

That’s why we work together with professionals in these areas to give our groms an insight to this world and support them on their way”, Philipp Becker, International Marketing and Team Manager at Duotone Kiteboarding says. “Above all though stands our passion for water sports and the intrinsic motivation to pass this passion on to the next generation.”
