Young Blood

YOUR FIRST STEPS INTO ACTION SPORTS

Young Blood is a project of the action sports brands ION and Duotone. The vision is to awaken the passion of kids and youth ages 8 to 18 for action sports like kiting, wing foiling, wakeboarding, or surfing and to teach them the right technique to safely enjoy the sport. ​

We want to make it easier for the next generation to enter the world of action sports, by organizing special events and giving them a chance to learn from professionals. Additionally, we’re using this platform 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 like feeling healthy, gaining confidence, and increasing mental strength & focus.

Save our Playgrounds

It’s very important to us to continue to spread the message to the next generation of athletes about how important it is to protect our “playgrounds” and the individual actions that can collectively make a big impact. As part of the new Young Bloods project, we will incorporate various sustainability initiatives like beach clean-ups and will communicate our shared goals to reduce our carbon footprint as well as limit the single use of raw materials. We invite this next generation of athletes to join us in learning how to be a friend to our environment and become the next stewards of our beloved playgrounds.

The perfect products for Kids & Youth!

A very important part of the safe usage of sports equipment is the right equipment. That’s why we’re constantly developing our youth range, offering special products that are lighter, shorter, and simply easier to use with more performance for groms.
