La mer, le vent et le cerf-volant
We decided to follow the wind and go meet the best local riders around France.
Watch the filmNelson Pinto is a respected Gaucho freesurfer in his country, but also an excellent film producer, shaper and more recently kitesurfer. What qualifies Nelson’s lifestyle is freedom and passion… He has made his own way to become the person he is now, and he is not afraid to go off the beaten tracks.
Calm and devoted, Nelson has a degree in advertising and knows how to use his skills and how to express himself through his creations. The surf industry definitely needs more of this kind of personality to add a little bit more to it.
STAY FOCUSED.
I was born and raised inland very far from the coast. Luckily my family has a house on the beach so I could enjoy the summer holidays surfing. I always had a connection with the ocean which helped me to keep my dreams alive to become a professional surfer/filmmaker.
Take all my best friends to an epic 6 months boat trip surfing perfect conditions and having a good time.
Argentina and Chile.
That’s a hard one! I would say the trip that I made to the very bottom of south America, camping and trying to surf waves that nobody surfed before. I had to walk and carry very heavy backpack with all the camping gear, food, cameras, one surfboard and a thick wetsuit on a crazy wild weather that hits this special part of the globe.
Working on my films, kitesurfing or planning the next adventure.
