Kitesurf Freestyle World Champion U16 GKA
I'm Finn Flügel, 15 years old. I was born into a sports-obsessed family in Hof, Germany and first stood on a kiteboard at age six. At age ten, I knew kitesurfing wasn't just a hobby - it was my future. I convinced my parents to let me chase this dream and relocate to Egypt. This move changed everything. The conditions are perfect year-round, allowing me to push my limits daily. It's paid off - I'm now the U16 youth world champion and German champion in both youth and men's categories. Nowadays, I'm travelling the world, training and competing in the men's world tour, while keeping up with studies. I'm living my dream.
"I spent my whole life by or in the water. I cannot imagine changing that."

There’s no place for envy in my mind
- Finn Flügel
I perform tricks and stunts while holding the kite's load in my hands, showcasing creativity and technical skill. For me it's the ultimate discipline for self-expression and style on the water.
In strong winds I love jumping to extreme heights and performing spectacular aerial maneuvers like board-off tricks, rotations and kiteloops, pushing the limits of height and airtime.
I use a wing and hydrofoil board to glide above the water, combining elements of windsurfing and kiteboarding for a unique flying-over-water experience. When I go out with my wingfoil board, waves are my favourite thing to ride.
When the wind is light I love to take out my hydrofoil board. It's an incredible feeling to float almost silently over the water. From one moment to the next, I can gain extreme speed, or catch a gust and loop my kite. That's amazing!
