Though some may have denied it, during last week’s selections, it was clear—the writing was on the wall, and it was red. From the start, there was a quiet certainty: Team SCARLET, led by Ramiro Gallart, was the one to watch. You could see it on the faces of the other teams as they sized up the competition—this team was stacked.

Alongside Ramiro stood Jack Reider, Alex Meindi, Chase Hasch, Einar Saad, and Nadja Bianchet. While all teams had their moments, Team SCARLET moved with a calm precision, showing rare synergy both on and off the water. Interestingly, they didn’t spend endless hours chasing the wind. Instead, they chose short, deliberate sessions, saving their energy and tricks for moments that mattered most.

This strategy paid off. Not only did they collect stunning footage on the water, but they also dedicated time to crafting a tight, polished Team Battle submission. Their balance of performance and production made them a force from all angles. Ramiro’s leadership proved key in assembling a team that could truly harmonize—something crucial to success in this event.

We at the Kite Park League are proud to crown Team SCARLET as the 2023 Team Battle Champions! During the awards, Alex Meindi was also recognized for his standout drone piloting, and Ramiro Gallart was honored for completing the Best Line.
