Dubai, UAE – 27 February 2026 – Italian kitesurfing star Andrea Principi has performed a record-breaking kite drop from the top of Ain Dubai – the world's tallest observation wheel at 250 metres, or about 57 storeys – soaring down by kite to land on the waters off Jumeirah Beach Residence before riding away on his board. The 58-second descent saw Principi execute six consecutive "Around the World" loops, a world first for the advanced kitesurfing manoeuvre.
