V Class Wake Trip Europe

10 Pro Wakeboarder – 14000km – 11 Countries – 37 Cities 21 Branded Stories – 12 Video Episodes – 180 Social Posts

1 Mercedes V-Class Van, 1 Shell gas card and 10 of the most creative wakeboarders including William Klang, Ben Leclair, Ian Lindahl, Wes Gumpel, Jules Charaud and the list goes on, were the main ingredients for the Next Exit campaign! These guys cruised around Europe 4 at a time, swapping friends in and out of the van as they ventured out with no concrete plans except to find new places to shred. Let’s just say the boys took the opportunity to clock as many miles and laps as they could. After 14000km, 11 countries and countless wake parks it was time to take the final exit, head to the editing room and start planning the next trip!

Aneta and Xavier …

NEXT EXIT “Carbonne”

NEXT EXIT “Brussel”

From La source, we drove to France in les landes to shoot a last picture for the mag article and then we pretty much were all willing to have a break from wakeboarding so we hoped to find some waves instead to get some surf …
