We had the chance to catch up with professional kiteboarder and filmmaker Bas Koole and ask him a couple questions.
Recently Bas Koole worked on the biggest Kiteboarding film to date,“ Chapter One”. On top of being a very talented man begind the lens, he is also one infornt, riding for the Airush Pro Team.
“ What was it like being behind the lens on whats being claimed as the greatest kiteboarding film ever made?”
It was great working on Chapter One. The part’ s I’ ve been filming are the Brazil and King of the Air part in Cape Town. It was my first time shooting with the RED camera’ s, what was a great experience. To record the best tricks in the world on the best camera possible, was a dream come true. Working with the production crew, shooting my friends Youri Zoon, Carlos Mario“ Bebe”, Bruna Kajiya and Liam Whaley, in Brazil was pretty sweet.
Cape Town is always an amazing location to shoot, especially during King of the Air, where it all happens. I was shooting long lens during the event, so the crashes where the guy went knock out was intens to film. To see it so close up, but still be far away and unable to do anything were harsh moments.
