KITE THE ALPS | A Kitesurfer`s Journey

The Alps. Five countries. Eight days. One mission.

The Alps are a magical playground for all kinds of sports. Stunning landscapes, hidden gems, and untouched nature create the perfect environment for adventure.

But why does a kite brand belong in the Alps, where kitesurfing seems possible only on the ocean? We set out to prove otherwise.

To celebrate 25 years of FLYSURFER, we sent long-time Team Rider Roderick Pijls on a journey through the Alps to discover how many countries he could kite within just eight days. From Germany to Switzerland, France, Italy, and Austria, he explored alpine lakes, met local riders, and uncovered extraordinary spots powered by nothing but wind.

Featuring the SOUL⁴, FUSION², and RADICAL⁹, this documentary showcases a setup perfectly suited for the light wind conditions often found on alpine lakes, combining versatility, control, and confidence when every knot counts.

Along the way, Roderick connected with members of the FLYSURFER team, gaining valuable insights into kite development, product innovation, and the local knowledge that shapes our understanding of these unique locations.

More than a search for wind, this is a story about innovation, nature, fun, local knowledge, and the places that inspire us to keep moving forward.
