For me the three most important factors when choosing sport equipment are :
Safety, comfort & performance.
- Safety : The first thing that people want to feel doing an activity is security, nobody is going to enjoy a moment or to try something new (maneuver) if they feel insecure. In my case, kitesurfing is an extreme and dangerous sport so security is essential for us. We always need to trust on our gear and unfortunately sometimes accidents happens.
- Comfort : As athletes we always want to increase our skills, for it we need the materials to adapt our style of riding and our body. For example, the harness needs to be on a good size and to be the correct model to feel comfortable.
- Performance : The material need to fit with us, because as professionals we give 100% of our body, but we also need the best gear that is in or out of the market to perform even better. Personally, I'm part of the Duotone Kiteboarding Team and I know that this brand is one of the best ones.
Consider Sustainability and Eco-Friendliness, today we know the importance of saving the planet, as a kitesurfer I'm always close to the nature and I see all the pollution that goes into the sea, so for us save the planet is not just an acquaintance, it's a way of life. The brand that I'm part (Duotone) as a ''Eco-slogan'' #saveourplaygrounds to be aware about the pollution and take care about the places we travel.
