O COMEÇO DA RIDE ENGINE
(Photo de destaque: Ride Engine / Ride Engine social media content) O surfista e funileiro de Santa Cruz, Califórnia, Coleman Buckley, não curtia como o seu harness (trapézio) se encaixava e trabalhava durante suas sessões de Kitesurf. Este simples fato daria origem ao início da Ride Engine, um novo conceito que revolucionaria o mercado do kite. Com estudos e artesanalmente em sua garagem, ele começou a desenvolver os primeiros protótipos. Hoje, a Ride Engine permanece fiel í sua missão original: “Não criar com o objetivo de criar, mas encontrar problemas, inovar e fornecer soluções que ajudem a conectar as pessoas com suas paixões. Nossa missão é tornar a sua experiência com o oceano, a aventura e o ar livre o mais amigável e gratificante possível.” Confere o Coleman contando um pouco sobre sua história: (Ride Engine youtube channel content)

Uma kitetrip para Kamchatka, na Rússia. (Manera Vimeo channel content) By Manera “4 years. This is how long it took to gather and coordinate the four Kamchatka photoshoot essentials: The best local team, four world class kiteboarders, logistics (visas, permits, tickets, boat, tents, vehicles…), two photographers and a cameraman with unwavering dedication. After all these years, I had this bad feeling that I was expecting too much, that only disappointment awaited me. The same feeling you get before a New Year’s party full of false resolutions. So, it was with a heart full of passion and fear that I began this trip into the depths of Russia. Located in the far east of Russia, Kamchatka is a huge volcanic peninsula covering 270,000 km². It was classified as an “ultra-secret” military zone at the end of the Second World War; the peninsula was therefore closed to visitors until the 90s. This has preserved the authenticity of the place and nature there has remained almost intact. Special permits are needed to venture from the capital and there is little to no infrastructure to get around. The Pacific coast receives swells and winds, and it was there that we would be hanging out. Starring: Mallory de la VILLEMARQUE, Paul SERIN, Camille DELANNOY, Maxime CHABLOZ.
