About Young Blood

Young Blood is a project of the action sports brands Duotone, ION, and Fanatic. The vision is to awaken the passion of kids and youth for watersports and to teach them the right technique to safely enjoy the discipline. By organizing Young Blood Camps, we want to make it easier for the next generation to enter the world of action sports and we give them a chance to learn from professionals. We’re using these events to spot talent and support it. Furthermore, we want to show kids, youth, and parents the positive effects that sports can have on their body and mind: feeling healthy, gaining confidence, increasing mental strength & focus.

About Gianmaria Coccoluto

Gianmaria Coccoluto is not just a name in the world of kiteboarding; he's a testament to what passion, determination, and hard work can achieve. Starting kiteboarding at the age of 18, a time when many believed he was too late to make a mark in the professional kiteboarding arena, Gianmaria has proven time and again that perseverance pays off. Just 8 months after taking up the sport, he clinched his first freestyle title, outperforming some of the top freestylers in Italy. This victory was not just a win; it was a bold statement against all who doubted his potential. His journey reached a pinnacle when he was crowned the GKA Freestyle World Champion in 2022, and he continued to showcase his extraordinary talent by securing the vice champion title in the GKA Freestyle World Championship in 2023. These accomplishments are a clear indicator of his relentless dedication and unmatched skills in kiteboarding.

Beyond his competitive success, Gianmaria has a deep-seated passion for sharing his knowledge and experience with others. He believes in the power of coaching to not just improve skills but to inspire and ignite a similar passion for kiteboarding in others. His journey from a late starter to a world champion embodies valuable lessons on overcoming doubts, the importance of hard training, and never giving up on one's dreams. These experiences make him the perfect coach for anyone looking to dive into the world of kiteboarding or to elevate their skills to the next level.
