Here the third series of Freeride Project produced and conceived by Tom Court. Cool clips with the world's best riders.
I leave you directly in the words of Tom, have fun! "As our schedules get more and more hectic as the years go on, it has become harder and harder to link up as a crew and get these projects together... This movie documents my years as a rider, who I linked up with along the way and the destinations that the majority of the kiteboarding industry goes to throughout the year. With a few extra stops thrown in. Kiting from Cape Town in South Africa, to the blue waters of the Caribbean and then onto the infamous Triple-S competition in the USA, followed by a new island discovery on Wakatobi Dive resort in Indonesia and finally finishing off in the lagoons of Brazil before flying back home to the UK for a nice cuppa tea to round off the year.... Film making is my passion and presenting Kiteboarding as it's meant to be seen has been my goal throughout my career. Getting creative, using the freedom and exploring the world is all part of that! The #freerideproject concept lives on!"
Watch one of the best wakestyler work despite not perfect physical condition. "I had an ankle injury in Brazil but I managed to pull a few tricks together for the product videos" Here are some of my best tricks Patrick Wieland gave me from his glorious Red Dragon footage!"
Ian Alldredge is at the forefront of riding waves with kite and surfboard. He's fast, powerful, technical, innovative and does it all with amazing style. But there's a lot more to Ian than what he does in the water. He was raised quite differently to the 'normal' person and his story is not only compelling, but inspiring on many levels. A true testament to who he is and what he's about. Ian really has created the life he wants.
Never has the sentence "IT'S NOT THE DESTINATION BUT THE JOURNEY" had so much meaning for us before. It seems cliche to say that but that's really how it is...
It was not only a kitesurf/SUP trip, it was a real adventure along the way.
What you see in the video is what we lived for 3 weeks. Probably the hardest trip we've done so far. The excess of weight was a real handicap during all the trip, specially during the desert part, not to say that non of us are professional motorbike pilots (Nuria learnt to ride a motorbike 10 days prior to departure). No external assistance, only the 3 of us. The average time packing every morning was about 1'5h (kiteboarding gear, an inflatable stand up paddle, several cameras, camping gear... ).
More than 400GB of images captured, 5.000Km ridden and lots of memories and emotions that we tried to summarize in a bit less than 4 minutes. Enjoy the ride, for us "the great journey".
During a boring evening watching tv, I decided to take my laptop, I found 3/4 horrible clips of the last mini-session and I decide to make a 10 seconds clip only to my followers.. Horrible quality, but I appreciate the thought .. Good weekend,
