For the past year, Tom Bridge, Xander Raith, and Noe Font have traveled the globe in an effort to highlight realities of the modern epoch, commonly referred to as the "present," while showcasing kiteboarding as they see it, simultaneously intertwining their identities and the group dynamic that made the entire process so special. Take a glimpse, get sucked in, and enter their paradigm… In a world of perpetual chaos, conflict, progression, regression, violence, happiness, love, beauty, and the contemporary sensations that accompany living, there are emblematic paradigms that expand with appeal and contract with detachment. Some find themselves stuck in a paradigm they wish to escape from, some stumble into a paradigm fortuitously, and some choose a paradigm because of its allure, sucking them in like a magnet until they reach the epicenter and all that surrounds them spirals together and flows in distinct harmony. The word vortex, a noun, is defined as “a mass of whirling fluid or air, especially a whirlpool or whirlwind.” A vortex is boundless by nature. It’s quiet at its core, but its extremity rages, sucking one in until they reach the focal point; the eye of the storm and the heart of the whirlpool. World Premiere January 9th, Cape Town, South Africa. (Details soon) Thank you Duotone, North, ION, Mystic and RedBull for making this possible.

Hop over to www.oasiboards.shop if you're interested! About the Film - There was no official plan. No one knew they would have a part in a video. I genuinely like filming so I took a camera or drone to the spot with me and filmed when I felt like it. Some people were filmed as little as two sessions, others six or more. I hope that this video helps give riders in the future an idea of what was happening in Brazil in 2024 and helps inspire others to simply throw some clips into a timeline and put it on YouTube so it's there for future reference! Our culture is slowly disappearing. Cheers, Alex.

The River - Prolimit Rider - Ewan Jaspan Shot and Edited - Alex Lewis-Hughes The Columbia River Gorge has long been the place to be for the North Hemisphere’s summer months. The cool, wet coastline and the hot, dry desert create a pressure gradient unlike anything else, providing constant winds funnelling against the river from April to October. For many years, windsurfing was the go-to sport for the river-goers, and then kiting became hot in the early 2000’s and the scene slowly changed. Kiting has always been tough due to the gusty winds and tough launches The Gorge provides, but where the Hood River flows into the Columbia, lies a huge sandbank perfect for kiting and a great location for the Slider Project Kite Park. Recently it has become a proper world class destination for foiling, where tricky launches and gusty winds don’t matter, and you’ll find hundreds of people surfing the famous river swell. The Slider Project is what brought me to Hood River originally, with its thriving scene and huge array of free features, it was the perfect place to hang out in the centre of the industry. Although the Slider Project is what brought me here, it is not what kept me coming back, and eventually calling it home. The River is what kept me coming back. The diversity of what it offers to the region keeps you ever entertained and always wanting more. You can kite, wing, sup, windsurf, pocket wing, paddle or sail on the beautiful waters, and in the surroundings, the hills and mountains provide world class mountain biking, kayaking, hiking, snowboard/skiing and paragliding. The idea behind this video was to showcase the beauty on the waters of the river, and show what I am up to during the summer months these days. With all the amazing sports we have these days, it really is just a case of choosing the best craft for the conditions. When the breeze is steady, the kite park comes alive, when it nukes, I find myself endlessly surfing the river swell from A to B, and when it’s marginal, you can explore the river by kitefoil, the fastest way around the river, and find yourself shredding the glassy waters and taking in the scenery. So enjoy the charm of The River and make sure to visit www.prolimit.com before you plan your visit to wind sports paradise.

'Traverse' is the latest full length video from Ewan Jaspan. It is a kiteboarding movie, showcasing many riding styles in some of the premier locations for our sport around the globe. 'Working on these projects is something that is very important to me, and in my opinion, for the sport as a whole to grow. I couldn't be happier with how this one has come together, thanks go out to Naish, Alex Lewis Hughes and all the videographers for all your hard work and dedication to the project. Hopefully more to come. Please share, comment etc to support the project and help bring more movies in the future to your TV screens, and not your instagram feed.'

Pawel Kiczka enigmatic Polish Kiteboarder presents "Nocne Ferie" (Holiday Nights), the first feature film to air on Knot Future. "Two friends, Bili (Jakub Łopatka) and Szefi (Oskar Cholewiński), are going to Hel. Before entering the Peninsula, they stop in with Grzejdos (Hubert Woliński), a windsurfer and a local drug dealer who's getting ready for his friend's birthday party, Grześ (Bartek Multan). Does the night pass in anticipation of mysterious drugs? or perhaps something completely unforeseen occurs."

Inspired by an American Prayer THE DOORS; Knot Future Presents "The Hitchhiker" with Marek Rowiński coming on February 5th 2022.

Airush Kiteboarding teammates Jack Rieder (CAD) and Juan Rodriguez (COL) go head to head in this KF Game of Kite. 1v1 until one rider eliminates the other by completing 4 tricks the other cannot perform. K.I.T.E Rules: Rock, Paper, Scissors to determine who goes first. Winning rider gets to set the first trick. Following rider must complete the trick clean to avoid scoring a letter. If the rider setting the trick doesn’t complete their trick, the turn goes to the other rider. The setting rider holds their turn until he cannot complete the trick they are setting. The game is over once one rider cannot complete the set trick 4 times. Each crash scoring you a letter from the word: (K.I.T.E) On the last letter, E, the following rider has two attempts to complete the set trick. Trick execution rules. These will be judged by the referee: These rules will induce a repeat for the defensive rider, and will invalidate a trick for setting rider: Kite must be at a reasonable position (approx. 45 degrees) No down/kiteloops No buttcheck Grabs must be held with a closed hand in the correct position on the board (no slaps/taps) Kite check in the water Not executing a trick fully (eg not completing enough of a backroll/frontroll/raley before the handlepass) Larger margin of error for defensive rider These instanced rule as a crash: Missing the handle Passing to leash or CL Board coming out of the water during a butt check Coming to a stop after a trick Crashing the kite Any obvious crash as ruled by the referee Straight purposeful ‘lunch’ Other Miscellaneous Rules: Switch tricks only count if you have performed it as regular A rider does not have to complete a trick in the same stance as the trick is set (eg, you can counter the trick on whatever your strong stance is) Only flat water tricks count No hooked in tricks No trick repeats A trick can be repeated with a different grab You must call your trick before you do it, and execute it as stated.

The mini private lagoon in Taiba not only saw the bangers Coco put down this year. The polish crew left a mark as well and those who were there are testimonies of what went down. In particular, our guy Marek Rowinski was there working on something more than just a freestyle part. Something we don't see an abundance of this day in age and creates a special kind of excitement. The kind of excitement we like to share and therefore we present "The Hitchhiker" coming in early 2022. Video by Aleksander Lewandowski.
