Duotone's Young Blood programme returned to Tarifa for its fifth edition, bringing 19 young riders from ten countries together with nine of the brand's pro team athletes for four days on the water.
Aleks and Tom Acherer, Rocco Sotomayor, Nia Suardiaz, Mar de Arce, Charlie Loch, Benjamin May, Franz Rappolder and Mala'e McElheny all joined the camp, alongside pro coaches Michi Rossmeier and Franco Lattazio, Klaas Voget and special guest Gisela Pulido.
Away from the riding, the programme covered professional coaching, shooting sessions, mental training, and ambassador and social media workshops, plus a contest format in which the young riders competed and judged heats for a taste of World Cup conditions.
Duotone reported strong wind throughout and a high level on the water. The camp closed with around 30 riders heading out together on an open ocean downwinder from Valdevaqueros to Bolonia.
