Ice Waterfalls
Prada Linea Rossa for Red Bull athlete Aniol Serrasolses
Once again, Prada Linea Rossa supports a Red Bull athlete: Aniol Serrasolses. The Spanish kayaker challenges the limits of his discipline, descending a 20-meter high ice waterfall in an unparalleled expedition into the heart of the Arctic.
Equipped for the demanding environment of the Svalbard island, Prada Linea Rossa outfits Aniol to face the world’s highest frozen waterfall. The collection’s advanced textile developments combine comfort and high-performance function: innovative Prada fabrications push boundaries, while the exclusive Prada Extreme-Tex in two weights offers antistatic, antibacterial and thermoregulation properties via a unique graphene membrane.
Documenting the record-setting journey throughout 36 sailing hours, a video showcases the athlete passing through narrow caves on a turbulent river – ending with the impressive waterfall descend. Prada Linea Rossa is part of this bold expedition – enduring harsh surroundings of ice and freezing water.
Aniol Serrasolses is a kayak adventurer from Salt, in the Catalonia region of Spain. He got his start in paddling thanks to his brother, Gerd, who one day took him along to his town's club, the Salt-ter. From that moment on he was hooked. But paddling alone just didn’t cut it for Aniol. He was fed up of living in a place with no whitewater and barely any chance to kayak, so he moved across Catalonia to Sort, a popular whitewater spot where he started working as a river guide. In the winter of 2009, Aniol was lucky enough to travel to Chile and Argentina for five months. Since then Aniol has made a big impact on the kayaking world, with his achievements including completing the first descent of Keyhole Falls, Canada, in 2014, and winning prestigious events around the world, such as Sickline Austria in 2016, the USA’s North Fork Championship in 2017 and Futalefu XL in Chile in 2020.
