About
Abel Lago, who came into this world some 30 years ago in Spain, is a pro rider who favors the waves and racing disciplines. He currently rides on the RRD international pro team. When he’s not out there kiteboarding, Abel likes to surf, windsurf, SUP, and play golf. It was back in 2000, after moving to Tarifa, that Abel got into kiteboarding. At the time he was already a proclaimed windsurfer, having participated in Spanish windsurfing championships. Watching others play with their kites on the beach, Abel thought he would give it a try. What happened next? As you would imagine, Abel got hooked on kitesurfing. “When I saw Jaime Herraiz and Eduardo Bellini having fun while I was sitting on the beach because there wasn’t enough wind for windsurfing, I decided to try kitesurfing and was from the very first moment addicted to it and will be for the rest of my life,” recounts Abel. Abel’s favorite music is rock, his favorite kite is the 9m Obsession, and his favorite board is the 5.9 Fatal Wave.
