As an Olympic gold medalist in the Windsurfing RS:X class, three-time world champion, and two-time European champion, Kiran Badloe is not just a name in the world of windsurfing—he’s a legend. On top of that, Kiran is the winner of Expeditie Robinson 2024, a Dutch survival television program in which 25 candidates try to survive on a deserted island.

We are proud to introduce Kiran as a new force to the Brunotti Team, as his life has always been about water, wind, and adventure. Welcome to the Brunotti Team, Kiran Badloe!

Kiran’s laid back attitude and passion for board sports make him the perfect fit for our latest collection: Brunotti Rewind— a nostalgic throwback to the golden era of surf culture, featuring retro-styled, sun-faded fabrics, classic cuts, and the iconic old-school Brunotti logo.

Whether you’re an Olympic-level waterman like Kiran or just love that laid-back retro surf look, this collection is made for you.

After winning Expeditie Robinson 2024, Kiran came back with a fresh mindset. His biggest lesson: you can’t prepare for everything. Accept that and everything will be okay.

“I trusted the process and learned along the way. I started the adventure with little idea of what to expect, but you figure it out anyway. That mindset of embracing the unknown became powerful. It’s the same in windsurfing, you can’t control the elements. You accept, adapt, and keep going.”

One unforgettable moment? Being voted out early as a strong competitor, he was sent alone to a tiny, deserted island. “It was just me, a few crabs, and the ocean. No distractions. Pure peace. That moment really stuck with me.”

His biggest takeaway moving forward? “Live in the moment. On the island, there was no planning ahead—just focus on what you need now. I’m trying to bring that same mindset into my training and competitions. When I’m out on the water, it’s about responding to the wind, the waves, and the moment. That focus helps me perform at my best and I’m grateful that life on the island made me realise this.”
