@hugo_kite_: Young talent and ambition in Big Air from La Loteta
From Logroño, Spain , and just 15 years old , Hugo Renedo is already a regular name in one of the most popular spots for kitesurfing in the interior: La Loteta . Hugo has been hooked on kites since he was 12 , demonstrating an early and deep connection with the sport.
His style in the water is clear and forceful: Big Air . This young rider is fully dedicated to the discipline of big jumps, seeking maximum elevation and control in the air. His total focus on Big Air makes him a rider with a very defined path to progression in the air.
Their disciplines and upcoming challenges: ever higher flights
Big Air is Hugo's driving force. It's the discipline he invests his time and energy in, and his goal is to continue honing his skills. He's always looking to learn and master new tricks , which speaks to a mindset of continuous improvement and an ambition to take his jumps to the next level.
Although the information on achievements is brief, his participation in the La Loteta championship is already an indication that Hugo is competing and gaining experience in venues relevant to his discipline.
Your team: designed to fly and progress
For his Big Air sessions, Hugo relies on equipment that gives him the power and control necessary for his ambitions:
- Kite: Your kite of choice is the 8m Reedin Hypermodel . This kite is known for its Big Air performance, offering explosive pop, great hangtime, and a direct response—essential features for jump enthusiasts.
- Board: To complement his kite, Hugo uses the Reedin Kev Pro board. This board is designed to provide the grip, absorption, and reactivity needed for demanding Big Air takeoffs and landings.
- Other important materials: For your safety and comfort, Hugo is equipped with a harness and neoprene from the Brunotti brand , synonymous with quality and durability in water sports equipment.
Your goals: improve and enjoy every session
Hugo's advice is reflected in his main goal: "improve and enjoy." This combination of technical progression and personal enjoyment is the key to a long and fulfilling kitesurfing career. His vision is to continue growing as a rider and, above all, to maintain that spark of fun in every moment on the water.
