Thanks!

Together, we’re driving kitesurfing culture forward 🪁🌊

At Arnone, we love strong winds, hair-raising sessions and killer spots. But what we love most of all is the community that keeps this culture alive. Thanks to your support, we’ve been able to go far beyond the creation of stylish t-shirts. We’ve been able to get involved on the ground, where it all happens: the comps, the events, the moments shared around our common passion.

Your purchases, your shares, your messages… it changes everything.

It’s thanks to you that we’ve been able to support and sometimes even co-create events that count for the kitesurfing scene:

  • Lords of Tram: the big air competition that rocks Port-Barcarès, where the best riders push their limits in full send mode.

  • Eole Kiterace: one of the key events in offshore kite racing on Corsica’s Isle of Beauty, where strategy and speed are played out down to the last knot.

  • The National Freestyle Strapless Tour: a circuit 100% dedicated to style, creativity and this discipline that purists dream of.

These events have been, and still are, places where people can meet, surpass themselves and enjoy culture. And without your support, they wouldn’t have seen the light of day or taken on the scale they have.

We don’t just sell T-shirts.

We create pieces inspired by the kitesurfing lifestyle, but each sale also allows us to give back to the community. We believe in this model. Because it’s authentic. Because it’s alive. Because it’s based on a shared passion.

And this is just the beginning.

We still have lots of ideas, lots of projects to support or launch. New formats, riders to support, events to invent together. And as always, we’re moving forward with you.

Thank you so much. Thank you very much.

Thank you for your orders. Thank you for your stories. Thank you for putting on an Arnone tee and representing this vibe, on the beach, on the water, or even in town. It’s together that we make this kitesurfing culture exist, beyond the gear, beyond the brands. For the style, for the ride, for the passion.

See you soon on a spot or around a project.

Lords of Tram 2019

In Eole I trust” is how to summarize in a few words this first edition of the Lords of Tram.

Indeed, the ultra-changing weather forecasts throughout this event did not stop playing with the nerves of the organizing team. In other words, you had to be cool and believe in it. That’s what everyone did.

The first registered riders arrived the day before the first day of competition, accompanied by a beautiful and copious Tramontane that provided a first training for the riders, a shooting for the organizers and a beautiful show for the public present on the beach of La Vieille Nouvelle.

Unfortunately, the absence of wind over the following days did not allow the competition to start… but it took more to undermine the morale of the riders and organizers as the atmosphere on the event remained good, good vibes only!

Finally, as early as Saturday, Eole made a nice surprise by pointing to the end of her breath via a SE’ly flow of around 30 knots. The competition could (finally) be officially launched….

The same goes for Sunday 20th October, although Eole, a little more capricious than the day before, preventing the judges from announcing a final ranking.

Video Highlights

In conclusion, this first edition of the Lords of Tram was a great success despite the unstable weather… a great Bravo to Tristan (organizer) not to mention the riders and partners without whom this kind of event could not take place.

National Freestyle Tour Lacanau

Organisée par le KCL (kitesurf club lacanau), c’est sur le spot de la mythique Maison de la Glisse (Lacanau) qui vient juste de fêter ses 50 ans que s’est déroulée cette première étape du National Freestyle Strapless Tour avec la présence exceptionnelle du champion du monde Matchu Lopez venu soutenir ce nouveau tour et assurer quelques démos pour le plus grand plaisir du public présent sur la plage !

Arnone - sponsor du National Freestyle kitesurf tour

Pour cette première étape girondaise, une quinzaine de riders se sont inscrits et ce, en dépit d’un vent quelque peu capricieux et un fort courant rendant les conditions de navigation particulièrement difficiles.

Un premier heat a tout de même pu être bouclé durant cette première journée.

La deuxième journée de compétition s’est déroulée dans de meilleures conditions météo puisqu’ Eole est venu apporté son souffle avec de rafales à prêt de 20 noeuds.
Au final, c’est le breton Julien Kerneur qui s’impose devant Paul Harel et Bertrand Bauchet.
