The riders line up for this year’s Red Bull Megaloop has been announced. Last month, the first 12 invited riders were already announced and to complete the list of 16 riders, the Red Bull Megaloop committee and judges have selected the last four riders out of 47 video submissions for this most extreme kiteboarding event in the world. Due to the current circumstances, the opening wind window postponed until further notice.

“The committee and judges looked for riders that showed a combination of height, kite angle and vertical ground covered in their megaloops. These four riders certainly checked those boxes of extremity. Added to that they have shown great variety and technical difficulty in their megaloops. They convinced the judges with their overall control in extreme conditions with high-end performance and full completion of their tricks.”
