Newsletter 10 - Pro Rider Spotlight: Carla Pasquinelli

Teaming up with world-class athletes is something we take seriously. Our mission is to keep riders safe and on their feet for as long as possible. While we’re dedicated to creating protective gear for everyday riders, we also push our products to the limits with top athletes in their sports. This helps us refine our designs, raise our standards, and ultimately keep more people progressing.

In this feature, we put Carla Pasquinelli in the spotlight.

From Sunny Marseille to the World Stage

Based in Marseille, France, Carla quickly embraced the competition scene in the sunny south. She first made her mark in the blading world in 2018, and as a passionate bowl rider, she soon turned heads at events like FISE World, NL Contest, and Winterclash.

Most recently, Carla secured 3rd place at the European Championships in Poland, further cementing her name on the international stage.

Gear That Keeps Carla Flowing

Carla joined the REKD family in June 2025 in search of a protection sponsor who could help keep her in the game for as long as possible. Her helmet of choice is the REKD Elite 2.0—a stylish, comfortable fit featuring our exclusive in-house developed shape. This EPS helmet is tried and tested to the highest safety standards. With its anti-bacterial lined padding and durable nylon webbing strap, it stays comfortable even in the hottest climates worldwide.

Aggressive skating—the discipline Carla excels at—puts a huge impact load on the hands during falls and missed tricks. To stay protected, Carla relies on the REKD Pro Wrist Guards, our most advanced design to date. Offering full 360-degree protection, they deliver the heavy-duty support needed for high-impact skating.

Onwards to Conquer the World Finals in Japan

After a hectic summer, Carla isn’t slowing down. This November, she’ll head to Japan to compete at the World Skate Games – World Roller Freestyle Championships. REKD will be by her side all the way—backing her travels and supporting her on this next step in her journey.

Onwards to the world stage!
