Windsurf Video – “FIRE”
By the end of the summer my old friend and trusted FYM editor Christian, called me telling me about a short film idea he had, which he wanted me to feature in.
The film goes to portray the burning passion that I have had all my life for my sport.
It’s been super fun working on the project, focusing on all the details and getting each shot perfect. We have really been putting a lot of time into it! So hope you like it.
In extension to this film, I’d like to thank all the people in my life for all the support over the years. LOVE YA! Couldn’t do it without you!
HAPPY NEW YEAR and remember don’t compromise – LIVE YOUR DREAMS
This was our third trip to Jaws to watch great surfing conditions. Little to no winds, and the peak of the swell 30 – 40 feet. Me and Crisitina got out early to watch surfers and bodyboards challenge themselves to great surf on the North Shore of Maui
Riki is one of the founder of ProKite Brasil, established in 2007. Over the years he had been training with many of the PRO friends, without any need for publicity. Therefore this short video of his riding is (also due to his age), by his words “my first and the last” 🙂
Let’s Riki share his thoughts:39 years!!! The best gift I could get, done from Laci, is this video that I will keep as a memory for a lifetime: “The first and the last”. My life is love with the freestyle kitesurfing, many of travels, tricks, crashes, injuries, friends, riders, training, beach, laughs, sun, wind, business and even a caddy and after the last serious accident, my age brings me every year to lose tricks for a fear of an injuring myself again. I decided to do it just now, even if few years back I would close many more tricks, driven by the desire to have something of mine that would bring these amazing memories back in the future. Only a personal desire, so special for me, to share with friends who follow the same life and passion. A way to say goodbye to the freestyle that also gave me many joys and pitfalls.
