The grind, then the calm.

The film that opens this site is the grind: rugby, cycling, golf, surfing, kitesurfing, wakeboarding, skateboarding, snowboarding, downhill, freeride skiing, trail running and climbing, each at full competition pitch, cut to about two seconds a shot and never held.

The calm is the other half. The same people afterwards, one at a time, standing still and looking into the lens. Mud still on a face, a board under an arm, a bike against a wall. Nobody has to smile.

There is no competition kit anywhere in it. Every shot, the effort and the stillness after, is in Vis Naturæ pieces: clothes made for the hours after, worn through the hours before as well.

The calm is the reward after the effort.

Those portraits also make up our community wall, until pictures from the people wearing the pieces take their place.
