IJsland is helemaal hot dit jaar (of is het zo goedkoop daar?) dus ook Manera ging die kant op om aan te tonen dat hun gear perfect is voor de koudere periodes. Verwacht dus geen bikinis in deze movie ...

Paradise is often pictured as a deserted tropical island, a private and mysterious place that exudes comfort and warmth. Every kitesurfer dreams of coconut trees, blue lagoons, sunshine and a warm breeze. Except, we've landed on a completely different island: Iceland.

We thought there would be just as much to discover on this remote island as there is on the deserted and exotic beaches you see on postcards. We were looking for thrills and wanted to reconnect with the feelings of our beginnings, feel that pure pleasure again that only kitesurfing can bring. Travelling far to the North, getting out of our comfort zone, and exploring new lands with a truck full of equipment seemed like the perfect ingredients for an adventure.

We found a very different paradise.
