info_outlineMaxime Chabloz is a RedBull athlete for two different sports and he competes on two different World Tours, simultaneously! One being The Freeride World Tour, which he won in 2022, and the other he kite boards on the GKA Kite World Tour.
Max explains how he's able to juggle both, sometimes flying from one event in the mountains to another on the beach and back again. The Swiss born Chabloz is as unique as his story which is laid out in the recent film on his life, Petit Suisse, which follows him around the globe with an un-intrusive, fly on the wall perspective.
