Rider Spotlight to @_pedro_m05

SUELTALABARRA family! This time, we have the honor of presenting a rider whose career we've been closely following on our blog, thanks to his constant presence at Brazilian and Spanish events. We're talking about Pedro, known on Instagram as @_pedro_m05.

Pedro is 20 years old and from Cape Verde, specifically from the island of Sal. His main kitesurfing spots are Kite Beach and Ponta Preta , world-renowned locations. He has been kitesurfing since he was 13, demonstrating a long and dedicated passion for the sport. His style is described as relaxed.

Pedro's style and disciplines on the water focus primarily on strapless riding. Despite his relaxed demeanor, he concentrates on a discipline that demands great skill and control, demonstrating his seriousness and dedication to mastering the board without bindings. However, we can also see him perform flawless freestyle or even compete in kitefoiling.

Details about your equipment.

He's still looking for a brand that wants a versatile rider to represent them in all the competitions he participates in. Right now, for his sessions, Pedro relies on the following equipment:

  • Comet : North Orbit of 10m.

  • Table : Fone Magnet 5.1.

A piece of advice or personal philosophy.

Pedro's advice is a simple yet powerful statement of perseverance: "Never give up." A mindset that is fundamental for any athlete seeking to achieve their goals. Speaking of goals...

His main focus now is kitesurfing.

Pedro's main goal is to qualify for the GKA in Ponta Preta in 2026. To achieve this dream of competing at a global level, Pedro is seeking financial support to fund his participation and represent his country on the professional circuit.

We thank Pedro for sharing his story and his big aspirations with the SUELTALABARRA community. His determination is an inspiration to all of us who love this sport. If you're a rider and would like to be featured in our next "Spotlight," don't hesitate to get in touch.
