Rita Arnaus
Luxury Real Estate Agent at The Agency Barcelona; Professional Kiteboarder and Influencer
Rita Arnaus was born in Barcelona in 1995 into a watersports family; her parents were windsurfing champions. She learned to swim before walking, started windsurfing at age 10, and later transitioned to dinghy sailing. At 15 she took up kitesurfing, and by 16 the sport became her life's focus.
She turned professional kiteboarder in 2014 and became Spanish Kitesurfing Champion in 2015. By 2017 she ranked 5th in the world, and she is a three-time vice world champion in freestyle, most notably finishing runner-up at the 2022 World Championships in Brazil. She competes in the technically demanding freestyle discipline, performing tricks unhooked from the harness. She is also a Porsche athlete and features in brand campaigns.
In 2025–2026, Rita expanded into luxury real estate, joining The Agency Barcelona as a real estate agent while continuing her kiteboarding career. She is also a speaker and influencer in the iGaming industry, having appeared at SiGMA Europe 2025 as a panel speaker and nominee for Best Sports Influencer. She is fluent in Catalan, Spanish, English, and Portuguese.
