CAN ' T STAND DOING THIS ANYMORE
I just burned out on competing and had to change my mind and view on kiteboarding again, I was in quite a crisis thinking‘ fuck what now, I’ m 22 and can’ t stand doing this anymore..’( this, meaning practicing airtricks, about 7 different for a whole year to get as consistent and to go as big as possible just for competition scores).
Together with Sam Van Olmen, who has been a close friend since I was 10, and I just knew it was the perfect timing to start the Mowgli’ s Jungle serie again, do what I wanted to really do, and Sam too movie wise, for a whole year and to get my stoke back overall on kiteboarding.
Sam and I wanted to produce content that would‘ keep it’ s value’. There is so much content online everyday everywhere, that we wanted to focus on the quality of the content. Sharing a story, a view, a perspective, high quality and watchable for everybody. Film about 3 times longer than average and set the bar to high.

Red Bull jumped on my idea from the start and Liquid Force Kites was supporting it too, It was a big relief to get the backing. Sam and I pushed to get all our content in 4K, we could have as well just chilled out more and made everything 1080P, it would definitely have simplified things and would have cost a bunch less money from the start.. but it just didn’ t felt right and we listened to our inner voice. It turned out perfect since via via SES Satellites heard about our project and stepped in as a project sponsor. SES is into 4K broadcasting and data transferring via Satellites, they wouldn’ t have any interest in our project if we didn’ t went with our inner feeling. That is what happens when you go with the flow I strongly believe.
