A quiet kind of challenge.

23 de abril de 2025

Challenging yourself in nature has always been part of our story. But what does that actually mean?

Is it about pushing your body? Training your mind? Or is it simply becoming more aware—of yourself, your surroundings, the terrain, the elements, the silence?

Probably a bit of all that. And maybe even more.

We recently met up with our friend Tom. He works in IT—a world of logic, structure, constant calculations.

He puts it this way:

“For me, all the sports I do are a way to disconnect from the routine, mental chatter and really clear my mind.”

“As a software developer, I spend most of my day thinking in a very logical, structured way, constantly weighing risks andoutcomes.”

That’s exactly why sports became something else for him. A contrast. A personal escape.

“If I applied that same mindset to my personal life, I probably wouldn’t be doing any of these sports at all.”

“So in a way, they’re my release valve, an escape from the logical into something more intuitive and creative. Sports like these are all about feel, flow, and style and that contrast is exactly what I love about them.”
