    #36 Viva Con Agua - Keep the Water Flowing!

    Around 703 million people across the globe still live without access to clean and safe drinking water — a basic human necessity. Viva con Agua is on a mission to change that. Carolin Stuedemann CEO @ Viva Con Aqua explains how the charity engages communities through joyful activities such as Art, Music, Sport to raise awareness. Water is life. Clean drinking water improves and protects people’s health, gives children the possibility of attending school permanently, empowers women, strengthens the local economy and allows for a better future. However, many people worldwide do not have assured access to this precious commodity. With over 162,000 followers and worldwide projects in South Africa, India, and Europe Viva Con Agua is achieving global attention. The collaboration between Boards & More and Viva Con Agua began at the renowned ‘Kite Masters’ event in St. Peter-Ording, Germany — a partnership with a truly inspiring origin story. Carolin emphasizes the importance of partnering the charity with organizations that share the same values on sustainability and environmental initiatives. Carolin’s seven-year journey as CEO of the charity coincides with her seven years as a kiteboarder — a parallel that naturally leads us into a conversation about our shared passion for kiteboarding and its deep connection to water www.duotonesports.com, www.instagram.com/vivaconagua/, https://www.kitesurf-masters.de/, https://www.boardsandmore.com/en

    #34 Mikaili Sol and Andrea Principi dominate Lords of Tram 2025

    Mikaili Sol and Andrea principi reflect on winning the 2025 Lords of Tram event in Le Barcarès, France. The event has been described as the windiest competition in kiteboarding history with gusts up to 70 knots. Athletes from around the world were tested to the limit to perform extreme moves over 30 meters up in the air. Winning the event Mikaili Sol has become 8X World Champion whilst Andrea now has 3X LOT titles under his name. We discuss together what it takes to become such dominant riders in the sport and what is required away from the water to be 100% prepared. Pressure? What pressure! Both athletes reveal how feeling pressure is a choice and something they do not feel. Rather focusing on being in the moment and concentrating on what moves they are capable of being their secret weapon to success. Living together has helped the duo develop as athletes. By kiting and training on and off the water in Tarifa, they have learned a lot from each other and from the wonderful town in the south of Spain so famous for windsports. We talk about their close relationship to the Duotone R&D team which has resulted in an incredible 10X World Championships between them and an extensive list of individual major event titles around the world.
