Ruben Lenten (born 30 March 1988) is a Dutch professional kite surfer who has won the Red Bull King of the Air in 2005.

[1] Ruben started kiteboarding at the age of 12 and quickly made a name for himself as a rider who was willing to push the sport hard and take that extra risk out on the water.

[2] Ruben was one of the first riders to try radical high-powered moves in gale force conditions, easily jumping over 15 m high.

One of his signature moves has become the megaloop, where the kite is steered around in a tight circle while the rider is up really high in the air.

Ruben was instrumental in developing a new competition format that caters more to the public, featuring an easy to follow scoring system and higher and more spectacular jumps.
