The young kiteboarding prodigy demonstrated exceptional skill and innovation, winning the hearts of thousands of spectators and viewers worldwide. Amidst the challenging gale-force winds off the Cape Town coast, Principi delivered a performance that will be etched in the annals of the sport. Notably, the rider achieved a historic first in the competition's final, executing three tricks that each scored a perfect 9 from the judges.

This remarkable feat underscores the teenager's rising dominance in the world of Big Air kiteboarding. "I'm at a loss for words. This has been my dream for so long. Today, I made that dream a reality," said an ecstatic Principi after his win. His victory at Cape Town, coupled with his triumph earlier this year at the Red Bull Megaloop in the Netherlands, cements his status as a formidable force in the kiteboarding scene.
