The rising stars on the scene bring a new perspective to the sport and always guarantee stunning performances. Red Bull Air King Sports Director, Sergio Cantagalliprovides us with a valuable perspective of five of the youngest riders in the event, who will contribute to the excitement of the event.

Jamie OverbeckAnother 17-year-old made the podium at the 2022 Red Bull King of the Air, finishing second. In the play, he is known as the “Sky Dancer” because of his elegant and precise movements in the air. Overbeek is a master of high-flying, and his technical ability makes him stand out in the championship, especially in the rotation. Although known for his style and precision, the Dutchman is more than ready to push his repertoire to its limits and add the extreme touch that the judges demand. However, one thing is certain: when Overbeak flew, he touched the moon and came back.

At the age of 19, Andrea Principi He is a force of nature in the kitesurfing world. His drive, passion and boundless energy make him an extreme personality both in and out of the water. Principi had a huge appetite for grand tricks and was a true showman: he knew how to put on a show that would leave the audience speechless. There is no doubt that we will witness Principi’s passionate display of talent at the 2023 Red Bull King of the Air competition.

Timo Porsema He will turn 19 in two days before the tournament window opens. Dutch is a young talent with a fearless attitude. His strength and determination are unparalleled and he is not afraid to push the limits of kitesurfing technology to the most extreme. Boersma, who finished seventh in the 2022 test, is on a mission to show the world his power and personality with a kite. This immense determination undoubtedly made him one of the public’s favourites.

Jeremy BurlandoAt 18 years old, he’s still taking his first steps in the kitesurfing world. The dual Spanish and Italian national is developing his skills in the game with a very technical style. Burlando is maturing his kite personality and promises to bring a unique and exciting performance to the competition. Keep an eye on this young talent as he finds his place among the elite riders.
