THREE ATHLETES. TWO ELEMENTS. ONE WINNER.
This is Force of Nature
Wind and water have a way of bringing people together. Whether they're filling a sail, launching a kite, lifting a foil, or shaping the perfect swell, these elements have the power to inspire people to get creative and push the boundaries of what's possible. Reading the wind and water isn't just a skill, it's the foundation of every great ride, race, and session. That shared connection to the elements is the idea behind Force of Nature, a new three-part series created in partnership with Channel 4 Sport.
Filmed along Portugal's Atlantic coastline, Force of Nature brings together three world-class North International athletes for a set of game-changing challenges on the water: Cohan Van Dijk representing Kiteboarding, Noe Cantaloupe representing Foiling, and Pierre Mortefon representing windsurfing.
“I think it’s a world first what we are doing here! Competing with all different disciples at the same time was super cool. It shows the strengths of each discipline in the different formats and conditions.”
- NOE CANTALOUBE
Three riders, three disciplines, one shared force driving them all. But this isn't about who's the fastest or most talented in their own sport. It's about who can adapt, embrace the unfamiliar, and unlock new ways to harness the wind and water. Over three episodes, the athletes go head-to-head across a series of challenges built to test more than raw talent: A surf showdown, a traditional race, and a slalom race.
Each challenge asks something different, pushing every competitor beyond the comfort zone of their own discipline. Taking competition in a new direction, Force of Nature is a meeting of personalities, techniques, and philosophies. Three athletes, three disciplines, and one relentless force deciding who comes out on top as the ultimate wave master.
All three episodes of Force of Nature are live now on YouTube. Watch them here.
