The Prize

Win this amazing Niccolò Porcella signed kite board!

This is one of Niccolò Porcella's favourite kite boards.

It's the kite board he used to record his first strapless video. But there's something more: this is the first kite board with which a 360° jump, ending in a strapless landing, was made!

If you are fond of kitesurfing and water sports this is the auction for you: do not miss the chance to win an amazing board. Win this auction and help support a good cause.

Besides, this item has been signed by Niccolò Porcella who wrote a dedication: "Do what you love, Love what you do, Live your passion".

The proceeds from this auction will support Wave Sardegna.

Niccolo Porcella was born in Maui, Hawaii on December 2, 1987. He spent his childhood growing up between the island of Maui and the Italian island, Sardegna. Niccolo spends the winters in Hawaii kitesurfing and big wave riding, and the summers throughout Europe wing suit flying and base jumping.

Originally a waterman, he has pushed the kiting sport in both the wakeboard style and surfing strapless style. On January 4th, 2012 Niccolo rode the largest kiting wave in history at Peahi, Jaws in the most critical sections, making a huge statement for the sport of kitesurfing. He has become an international sensation not only in the US, but also in Europe, Asia, Australia and South America.

Niccolo has been towing and paddling big waves such as Peahi, Jaws since 2008. Earlier this year Niccolo was nominated for Tube of the Year and Wipe Out of the Year, surviving one of the heaviest waves of all time at Teahupoo, in Tahiti earlier this summer.
