Stoked for the kids and awesome to watch them riding and busting those airs. I'm wondering though if there are any adults left at Duotone? Would be more relatable for the target group, or is it just me thinking that wingers are mostly 40+?
Plenty of other content for "adults" in our other media, this is a specific kids clip...:-) And I'm in the 50+ category, busting airs with all my 50+ friends too, so it's not just a kids thing, haha. The great thing about winging is that it allows kids to learn the sport super quickly, in absolutely average conditions, locally. Vs windsurfing or kiting where you do need a certain amount of wind/water conditions to learn. I have seen kids learning to wing from zero to doing stuff like in the video within 12months. We should celebrate that.
And at the same time, what a great sport for older riders, have a few friends touching 70+ who are out there in 35knots having a blast. Average age according to our/independant research is between 30-55, with good numbers on either end. Plenty of families all winging together, sometimes in 3 generations. Great time to be part of the sport.
Generally we like to involve all our team riders in our photoshoots as much as possible, we use a mix of our mainly 17-30yr old Pro riders, as well as a few National riders/opinion leaders, who are often ex athletes, 30+.
@@duotone.wingfoiling i totally agree that it’s a great sport for the family and for kids as well and it is great to watch your videos and people like Cash, Malo to see what’s possible.
Just wanted to give some feedback as - when im going to a “non lake” spot - there’s mostly former kite and windsurfers on the wing, and those are (as far as i can see) out of their teenage years.
Maybe it’s only my perception as i also got older with time, but it seems that - especially duotone - wing videos don’t have many people that are above 18.
Not sure if relatable content is not a thing anymore these days, but that’s only my limited pov and you know your target group better than me.
I think as always it is very spot dependant, for example we filmed this in the Gorge, but there generally out of season the average age at the event location is indeed way higher, or even on Maui at Kanata etc. But then moving to a different beach things can look quite different. But yes, a lot of the customers are obviously older than 18, it's an expensive sport, so many kids do need to rely on their parents support too. Again, we do have a good mix of ambassadors in our videos, in fact the team in this clip are the only ones under 18, the rest are all between 20-35 . But point taken, thanks for the feedback!
