What happens when you ask legendary filmmaker Jean-Baptiste Chandelier and his team to capture the essence of kitesurfing? You get SOUL — a cheeky, high-speed short film that cranks the fun factor to eleven.
In just a few minutes, SOUL delivers everything that makes kitesurfing addictive: speed, style, spray, and stoke. It’s playful, it’s bold, and it’s guaranteed to leave you grinning.

The Rider Behind the Madness
French kitesurfer Basile Thomas is at the heart of this adventure. Over two chilly weeks, he braved 14°C water and 17°C air temperatures to create a film that’s as daring as it is fun. There’s no faking the commitment here — this is raw, real, and full of energy.
Why This Film Hits Different
Where so many action sport films go big on seriousness and epic landscapes, SOUL flips the script. It’s fast, it’s cheeky, and it reminds us why we fell in love with action sports in the first place: the pure joy of riding. You don’t need much gear, much planning, or much of anything when you’ve got the ocean, the wind, and a healthy sense of humour.

The Adventure Reels Experience
On the big screen, SOUL is more than a short film — it’s a shot of adrenaline and good vibes that will have the whole theatre buzzing. It’s the perfect balance to the heavy-hitters of the Adventure Reels Action Sports Film Tour: fun, fast, and absolutely unforgettable.
Don’t Miss It
If you love speed, style, and the lighter side of adventure, SOUL is your film. It’s proof that sometimes, all you really need is just that — soul.
