This season we finish up here with a compilation of my travels to Panama with my homies (Nick Garcia, Greyson Fletcher, Julian Davidson) then a trip to Iceland together with some of the Huf dudes (Dan Plunkett, Tyler Bledsoe, Josh Matthews) and Kevin Terpening. Then I make a short stop in Gothenburg, Sweden with friends (Wes Kremer, Josef Skott Jatta and Jaakko Ojanen) and finally, on the other side of the globe, I visit Tibet on another trip this time with Chris Haslam, Peter Molec and Mario Wirnsberger.
Everywhere we meet with the locals (BIG THANKS GUYS), skate, party and live life to the fullest. I actually got hurt both in Panama and Tibet, so in stead of skate-footage I give a glimpse into the behind the scenes of our trips.
We had a goal- travel all continent to reach the southernmost point of Europe-Tarifa. So, we bought a van, planned our stops, packed kitesurfing, surfing equipment and dived into adventures. This Euro trip was full of new experiences: wild camping, swimming in ice-cold mountain rivers, getting stuck in Monaco underground parking, kitesurfing in the wild beaches, riding first proper waves, and many more.
Unexpected. Distant. Isolated. Unknown. There are a million different ways to describe this trip, but perhaps the most fitting is to say that it was unlike anything else. 2016 WSL Women’s World Champion Tyler Wright, Alana Blanchard and Nikki Van Dijk discover the nature of a journey like this – you never know what you’re going to get.
