Mitu Monteiro Kitesurfing 12 Volcanic Islands in Cape Verde Completely Solo | Unstoppable

For the first time, Mitu Monteiro, a Cape Verdean kitesurfing pro and former world champion, attempts to cross the 12 volcanic islands of his native archipelago completely solo. Taking on more than 730 km of kitesurfing, interspersed with island traverses totaling approximately 200 km, Mitu’s challenges are stacked ahead of him. But for this nature-lover, there is also the potential to meet unknown marine life and discover new landscapes in a region with many faces, internationally recognized for its biodiversity.
With a total trajectory of nearly 900 km in total and a route that had to be thought and rethought due to wind direction, shark infested waters, and distances that push this athlete to his limit, Monteiro's skills will be put to the ultimate test

[@markusbroyles1884]

This is the kind of epic journey that legends are made of. Hey Mitu ! ~ love what you've done man... guys like you inspire the shit out of me. I'm 68 and just learning to kite but riding like you has become my goal though I may never reach it; it's my happy thought. Consider yourself a real kite surfing hero ~ WAY BEYOND usual ! I only wish I could have learned this sport when I was young like you. But no mater I'm a KITER !! YA !

[@fasvi1285]

On a day that I felt down, this lifted me up.

[@paulmont1083]

I had a clinic with Mitu in Sal and learnt a lot- hes very good at teaching and treated us all amateurs like equal riders so humble and dedicated like if it was the first day in the water. I now understand his renewed enthusiasm comes from chasing new CHALLENGES. Kitesurfers often get bored and stall / literally. So these challenges and clinics boost your sport. Thank you Mitu for the inspiration!

[@ISMAILHOSSAIN-by7vt]

I love him from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

I spent many Winter in Sal windsurfing before and then kitesurfing with Mitu, Airton, Matchu, Titik Libero, Zilla, Klaus, and Reinher. Sweet memories. One of my dreams was kitesurfing in every single Capeverdian Island. Thank You Mitu. You made my dream true. Ciao a tutti

Congratulations with this awsome film. Under water, with a drone how did you manage that 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. It must have cost you weeks to make it.The story is also nice. It is something for a Filmfestival. Praia Diante in Boa Vista is my favorite beach, Maio my favorite Island, and las Rochas, Lazaretto, Mindelo my favorite airbnb Appartment. Also innMindelo you have Caravel, my favorite cafe. Xuagate on Fogo is my favorite hotel. Kebra Kanella in Santiago has good and affordable food In september I go againnon a long trip. I will try to make a selfie with you innSal 😂.

It's great to see a person pursue a dream, and you conquered it! Even if one pursues a dream and doesn't make it, it is worth it too! The real virtue is to be one who has a capacity to dream! Congratulations for achieving such an amazing quest! Also, I knew the Cape Verde Islands existed but knew nothing about them. Nice filming too! You are also a great storyteller!

Amazing feat . Amazing courage . When you are alone challenging nature you know that it can end your life in the blink of an eye . And the physical challenge of kite surfing that far while fatigue is overwhelming is just crazy . For now , you are the best but beware , for you have lit the flame of interest and many will try to beat your record . You're a hero and a man of confidence . You have lived a life's dream !
