Meet the SUELTALABARRA community: Spotlight on @oskar_kite14
SUELTALABARRA Family! Today we're shining the spotlight on one of our community's promising young riders, a rider who, despite his age, is already demonstrating impressive prowess and clear ambition in Big Air: Oskar Argudo , whom you can follow on Instagram as @oskar_kite14 .
@oskar_kite14: Talent and progression in Big Air from Spain
From Zaragoza, Spain , and at just 14 years old , Oskar Argudo is already emerging as a name to watch in the world of kitesurfing. Although he's only been riding since 2021 , his progress has been meteoric, establishing himself in key spots like La Loteta and Riumar .
Oskar focuses on Big Air and a bit of Freestyle , but his true passion and focus are on big jumps. This is what motivates him: progressing little by little in Big Air, seeking to master tricks as demanding as the Boogie Loop or the Kiteloop Board Off . It's fascinating to see how the new generations, from such a young age, already have such a clear vision of their goals and such great dedication.
Their disciplines: rising and competing
Big Air is, without a doubt, Oskar's main discipline. His commitment to this sport is total, and his goal of learning complex maneuvers within it positions him as a future leader.
In addition to his personal progress, Oskar is already making his mark in competitions:
- 🥉 Third place in the Junior Race TT category at the La Loteta Cierzo Festival.
- 🥈 Second place in Big Air Junior at La Loteta Cierzo Festival.
- Outstanding participation in the Lo Delta Kite and the World Academy International Junior Championship .
These early achievements are a testament to his talent and competitive ability, making him a rider with a very promising future.
Your team: high-end to fly without limits
To achieve his Big Air goals, Oskar relies on a high-end quiver of kites and boards from North , a brand renowned for its performance in this discipline:
- Kites: Their arsenal includes the 4m North Reach for very high winds, and an impressive collection of North Orbit Pro (6.6m and 8.1m) and North Orbit (5m) , kites designed for the lift, hangtime, and control that Big Air demands. They also have an 11m North Reach for milder conditions.
- Board: For his sessions, he uses the 129cm North Astra , an ideal board for Big Air thanks to its explosive pop and its ability to absorb landings.
- Bar: Your control is completed with the North Navigator Pro , a bar that offers precision and a direct connection to the kite.
Tips and goals: enjoy and continue growing
Oskar's advice is simple but essential: "Enjoy and have fun." A maxim that, at his young age, he has already understood as the key to maintaining passion and motivation in this sport.
His main goal right now is to "continue enjoying, progressing, and learning in every way I can." A mature and balanced outlook that prioritizes personal growth and a love for kitesurfing.
It's an honor to have Oskar Argudo in our SUELTALABARRA community. His talent, passion, and constant progress make him a rider who will inspire many future generations.
