Capturing the stories of inspiring people and being able to re-tell it to thousands is an absolute dream come true. Since the year 2005 when I first started experimenting with camcorders and analog cameras I have been drawn to media and story telling. It is a passion for me. The year 2019 had me travelling alongside multiple World Championship holders to destinations like Greece, Tarifa, Namibia, and a whole lot of the fierce South African coastline. The learning curve has been steep and nerve wracking to say the least. I produced more than 50 shorts videos, some longer than others but without a doubt the standout being an 18-minute feature film with Zane Schweitzer. I still can't believe how I pulled that one off. Thank you to everyone who has been there to support me along the journey. A massive shoutout to the talent, the athletes who are pulling off these mind blowing acts. A massive thank you to Airush Kiteboarding and all of the other brands who backed me on projects, even when I feel like a kid with a Rubik's cube. You are all helping me to realize my dream, I can't thank you all enough.

"Once the lighthouse is seen, the rest of the sea is ignored" - Terri Guillemets On Sunday the 8th of March 2020, while the cyclists were preparing for the Cape Argus cycle tour, there were a group of watermen with something else in mind. For me, the morning started at 04h30 and included final preperations and coffee before taking the road to Slangkop Lighthouse. This is where the morning started. The mission started 2 days earlier when my friend Piet invited me to come shoot. Unbeknown to him, I had just upgraded my camera kit and was itching for something to shoot. I couldn't even comprehend what was about to go down! It was an absolute blessing to be out in the water among many of the countries greatest watermen. I am inspired!

Notorious for extreme weather conditions, we decided to venture toward the southern regions of the Cape Point peninsula, to film a few sessions at some of the lesser-frequented wave riding spots around Cape Town. Being so far south, the Cape Point region has the benefit of being completely exposed to the Atlantic Ocean and the passing weather systems. This makes it the perfect location for serious wave riding, all year round! After collecting heaving top-to-bottom runners hidden within the Cape Point Reserve, scoring a session among the mushy onshore breakers tucked into one of the many hidden False Bay beaches, a uniquely rare opportunity presented itself to the team. This opportunity came in the form of an early winter gift from Mother Nature. A large West Swell, combined with moderate Southerly winds appeared on the charts. There was no question about it, we packed our bags, booked last minute flights, and headed for the desert. With our thumbs held tight that the boards would make it, and the unsurety of what we may find, in that moment we realized, The Plans Changed… Read more about the Surf Series here - https://airush.com/surf-series/ Credits Film by Kyle Cabano Music Retro Dizzy Swing Swiftly Scarborough Sunset Kevin Morby Harlem River (Monolink edit)

In a series of strange coincidences, the paths of the Livewire v7 and Oswald Smith converge in the world-famous kiting destination of Tarifa, Spain. Designed with durability in mind, the Livewire v7 is the most aggressive & durable board in the Airush Range and a great choice for a rider like Ozzie. Paired up with the Razor v9, Ozzie gets to test out his new kit in a wide variety of conditions including nuclear winds at the infamous Balnaerio Spot, unhooked freestyle in the kickers of Los Lances beach & finishes it off with an expression session at the lesser-known beach of Los Canos de Meca.

Nestled within the labyrinth of gulfs & limestone islands of Greece, Alex Pastor finds himself back in flatwater paradise. With consistent trade winds all year around, and the proximity to his hometown of Tarifa, it is no wonder that pro riders like Alex are returning to Drepano on a yearly basis. Shortly after the 2020 collection released, Alex took his signature Livewire Team v7 and Razor v9 to Drepano for a few days to get his new quiver dialed in and enjoy some of Europe's finest freestyle conditions!

Danny and Elias share a few things in common. They both like kiting and they both like to travel. Over the years Danny and Elias have come to the realization that no matter how many flights they catch, or how many roadtrips they embark on, they can’t seem to free themselves from the age old curse of the light wind scam. This trip was different. The boys are prepared this time round - packing only their most efficient kites and lightwind rides, they travelled West from their respective home countries to link up with Kyle to embark on the Cosmic Cruize along the Atlantic coastline at the edge of the world.

With the roots of kitesurfing deeply ingrained into the French bloodline, it is no surprise that French riders such as Jojo Heurto are looking to the sky as the limit, and we are pleased to be part of the rocket ship heading there. In the South Eastern region of France amidst the lagoons of division from the mighty Mediterranean, lies the humble pond of Parc de Dosses. The spot is uniquely positioned at the base of the Pyrenees mountain range and as a result receives hammering Tramontane winds all year round. There is also a diehard crew of locals ready to play the moment it gets windy out there; Jojo Heurto is one of them.
