Madagascar

Madagascar offers wonderful opportunities to explore the wilderness and ideal flying conditions and for a long time I was curious to fly above the fourth largest island in the world.

The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.

SEARCH Projects discovered another paradise.

Madagascar is home to beautiful wildlife, exotic animals and magical landscapes. We met the most welcoming people who took us to the most phenomenal places to fly. Part of our passion for traveling is meeting with the locals, and we like to share our sport with them to give a little taste of what it feels like to fly. With this in mind Théo de Blic made a cool flight with our local friend Nelson. The smile across his face was a highlight of this adventure and gave us all rich memories and a positive experience.

Red Bull

Red Bull has always been one of my strongest partners. It’s great to be supported by such a brand but also inspiring to be part of a big family of athletes from all over the world, which often leads to new friendships and adventures.

The first time I took part in the Red Bull X-Alps, a 1,000km race across the Alps, was in 2007. I was 21 and had no idea of the magnitude of this race! But it was one of my greatest experiences and I discovered a passion for bivouac flights, which led me to my first expeditions in Pakistan. Since then, they’ve supported me on countless adventures, from the Himalayas to the Alps, Pyrenees, Africa, Asia, Latin America and beyond. In my case, they really do give me wings! Red Bull is my energy shot and together we challenge the limits of our sport. I’m really happy to be a part of their family.

Volkswagen

My parents used to take me to school in their Passat and later in my father’s Caddy. I grew-up with Volkswagen. When I got my driving license, I borrowed my dad’s old Caddy and got my freedom. I built a bed in the back of the car and started travelling around Europe in search of good paragliding places. Since then, I can guarantee that I spend more nights sleeping in the back of my car than in my own bed. When Volkswagen came to see me and they lent me my first AMAROK, I decided it was time to expand our trips and start crossing frontiers. We created the SEARCH Projects and crossed Africa from Egypt to South Africa, stopping in 10 countries to fly our gliders. The team at Volkswagen Belgium has always been very supportive and really involved in all my projects. We dream bigger every year and that has led us to a round-the-world trip on board the SEARCH Projects sailboat.

Garmin

Garmin keeps me focused and on track! They are like the brain behind every operation. Their up-to-date devices follow and track me wherever I go, whether I’m up in the sky, crossing a mountain range or sailing. I have a lot of affection for the Garmin team. They are true enthusiasts and they have managed to develop a unique know-how when it comes to technology and adventures.

Starting with their GPS that guided me on my first flights, today I use the complete range: GPS for my road trips and bike tours, the Fenix 5 for my training sessions, the Inreach for my safety and connection when I’m far from civilization.

I always enjoy my visits to Garmin’s main office in Belgium. We always end up exchanging interesting ideas about the future of sports and technology. They know how to combine both disciplines and find new solutions to produce the ultimate device. I leave feeling inspired and always learning something new.

Patagonia

After reading Yvon Chouinard’s “Let My People Go Surfing”, Patagonia’s success story really hit me – how it can be a successful business while at the same time championing the environment. Such is their commitment they make their own research and development on sustainable manufacturing processes available to other brands to encourage them to do the same.

Their philosophy speaks to me and I want to support them through my expeditions. I’m driven to explore while promoting the beauty of our planet through images we produce and share, encouraging others to help preserve the environment for our future generation. Just a simple gesture can make a difference. It’s all about the choices we make. Patagonia is a true leader in that field and I’m very happy to work with them.
