Air, Water and Fire… Those Elements along with Passion and Energy mixed together give life to one of the greatest emotions in life : The Natural High…and where better to experience it than Volcano Etna mt 3339 meters of pure Power!

We kept going down for about an hour while Pascal took wonderful pictures of the greatest rider ever: CHASTA! Then we headed up to reach the peak of the volcano. The weather started changing, humid drafts from the NW formed fog banks that moved quickly towards the mountain. We had to rise up and gain altitude in order to get above the fog. Pascal and Chasta with Ozone MANTA II 12 mts climbed out immediately but me, I was forced to change my kite size because I was using a Frenzy FYX 7 mt which was too small for the weaker conditions. I quickly pulled out my MANTA II 12 and kited straight up right above the fog. More altitude means much more wind, so after meeting Alessandro, Lido and Andrea with Frenzy 7 mts I decided to change my kite yet again. It is lucky that they are so easy to just pack away and pull out again…no time wasted pumping! The final target was the peak. The mere minutes we needed to reach it made this experience a total dream
