Shot in the fall of 2016, “Kite & Sail exploration” combines travel with kiteboarding, see riders Sebastian, Arne & Jannis in action, on a sailing trip in search of amazing spots in the south of Denmark, friends, fun, exploring and kiting, all mixed into a great package.
At the age of 19, Aniol Serrasolses became the first person to take the plunge down the Puma Falls, a 115-ft waterfall in Chile on the River Fuy. He saw it the first time at a very young age, so it had been on his mind for a very long time.
During his first attempt, the raging torrent ejected him out of his kayak, but he proved that it was possible. Now he returns to conquer this beast as a more experienced paddler and who’s up for the challenge.
After a weekend of intense racing on the legendary Wellerbrücke rapids in Austria’s Ötztal valley, 25-year old Aniol Serrasolses from Bescano in Spain and 26-year old Sandra Hyslop from Loughborough, Great Britain claimed their first adidas Sickline Extreme Kayak World Champion title, ahead of Sam Sutton (NZL) and Nouria Newman (FRA) taking silver and Dane Jackson (USA) and Martina Wegman (NED) winning bronze.

Taking advantage of a free trip to Eddie Bauer HQ, the pair skipped out early and made the absolute most of a free weekend in the Pacific Northwest—ticking off three serious Cascade Classics in a short 72 hours including the South Fork of the Snoqualmie, the top of the Tye and Icicle Creek.
