Capital.com has recently completed the acquisition of a competitor’s customers. The company has now announced it is partnering with James Storm Carew, a renowned kiteboarder and two-time world champion kitesurfer, in a title sponsorship role. This is Capital.com’s first venture into sponsoring athletes in wind and water sports.
As part of the multi-year agreement, Capital.com will be supplying James and his team – the Capital.com Ocean Adventure Team – with the necessary equipment to take part in major events, including the Big Wave Season in Nazaré, Portugal. The ‘big wave season’ in Nazaré takes place from October to April, and is especially important for big wave surfers.
Capital.com has expressed its enthusiasm for backing athletes who strive to reach their limits.
Chief Commercial Officer at Capital.com, Kypros Zoumidou, said:
Kitesurfing is all about taking calculated risks. Skill is a huge part of the sport but equally important is being intuitive to your surroundings and always being positioned to catch the next big wave that will test your limits and help you realise your full potential — which is why this sport is a perfect fit for Capital.com. As a company, we strive to provide our clients with the technology, tools and insight they need to help them make better decisions under pressure. Ultimately, we want to help our clients take their trading to the next level.
James Carew, a 23-year old Australian-born professional kitesurfer, is a two-time world kitesurfing champion. With over 11 years’ experience kiting, he loves to push himself competitively, mentally and physically. His goal is to find his untapped potential and see just how far that can take him.
He said:
It’s a pleasure to be supported by an organisation that shares my values and takes pride in supporting athletes who want to achieve more and go beyond. I’m excited and I can’t wait to start the next season with Capital.com.
