ANTANDROY People from the thorns

I just had to post this video! This is absolutely one of the most stunning pieces of art I have seen in a long time! The cinematography is beautiful, the kiting is top shelf, showing some amazing talent in different aspects of the sport and Madagascar looks fabulous! A must watch!!! Enjoy...


Antandroy from Band-Originale on Vimeo.

"Before leaving, Madagascar was just a wave and some wind.
But once in Lavanono, there is much more than that, we discovered an extraordinary people: the ANTANDROY, the people of the thorns.
We shared two worlds: we surfed on extreme and beautiful spots, and tried to introduce them to our passion; on the other hand, they opened the doors to their village, their customs, their way of life.
Nobody comes back from Lavanono untouched.
Inevitably we all leave a small piece of our heart.
ANTANDROY, more than a kite trip, a timeless journey."
