SUELTALABARRA family! Today we're heading straight to the heart of the Atlantic, to a legendary spot, to introduce you to a young talent with a clear vision: Pedro Morais, known on Instagram as @_pedro_m05.
@_pedro_m05: The young talent of Ponta Preta, Cape Verde
From the iconic waves of Ponta Preta, on Ilha do Sal, Cape Verde, comes the energy of Pedro Morais. At just 20 years old, Pedro has already been on the board for 14 years, which speaks to his early dedication and a passion that comes from his birth. It's impressive to see how the new generation, rooted in their local spots, is taking the level of kitesurfing to the next level.
Pedro describes himself as having a "radical" style in the water. If you're familiar with Ponta Preta, you know this spot demands just that: courage, technique, and a boundless attitude toward the waves. It's a place where only the brave dare, and where a show is guaranteed.
Its disciplines: pure waves and the promise of freeride
Although Pedro primarily focuses on kitesurfing, which means mastering the kite and directional board to ride the waves like a true surfer, he also enjoys kiting in general. His passion for the waves is evident, and it's where his "radical" style truly shines and comes alive. Seeing him in action in Ponta Preta must be quite a spectacle.
Your team: relying on power and control
To tackle the powerful waves of Ponta Preta, Pedro relies on a solid and reliable setup that allows him to get the most out of his performance:
- Kite: Her kite of choice is the 10m North Orbit. A kite known for its great lift, control, and power, ideal for jumping and maintaining line tension while riding waves.
- Board: For his kitesurfing sessions, Pedro uses the F-ONE Magnet. This board is synonymous with agility and responsiveness in the waves, designed for optimal performance in surfing conditions.
- Harness: For connection to the kite, choose a Manera harness, a brand renowned for its comfort and durability, essential for long wave sessions.
His vision and purposeful advice
Pedro is a clear example that perseverance and mentality are key in this sport. His advice to the community is a powerful and direct message: "Never give up on your dreams." A phrase that resonates with the perseverance that kitesurfing demands, especially in disciplines as challenging as wave riding.
And his goal is ambitious, but entirely achievable with his talent and the spot where he trains: "Qualificar para o mundial de kite wave." From SUELTALABARRA, we send him all the energy and support he needs to achieve this great dream. We're sure we'll see him competing among the best.
It's an honor to have Pedro Morais in our community. His passion and approach inspire us all. A big hug and good luck with your upcoming sessions in Ponta Preta, Pedro.
