The ION kite team recently set off on a road trip from Cape Town, South Africa, to Namibia in search of empty beaches, epic content, and wild winds. But what they found was so much more than just another filming trip—it was an adventure packed with unforgettable experiences that will stay with them forever.
Andrea Principi, Noe Font, David Mariot, Craig Kolesky, and Xander Raith—Join the crew on a rugged road trip from Cape Town to Namibia’s remote coastline for a kitesurfing expedition like no other. Trading smooth highways for dusty tracks, they journey deep into the desert, facing extreme isolation and unpredictable conditions. Upon arrival, they are met with relentless winds—some reaching 60 knots—that challenge their gear and skills. Despite the intensity, the crew captures breathtaking content while navigating surreal landscapes where the desert meets the sea. Alongside epic riding, they encounter wildlife, feast on local seafood, and immerse themselves in the raw beauty of Namibia. More than just a kiting trip, it becomes a profound journey of discovery, connection, and awe for a place that feels untouched by time.
