Thomson is passionate about all things wind-powered, and so kite surfing was the natural choice when planning to complete the trilogy of stunts that began with the Keelwalk in 2012. “The previous two stunts that we carried out - the Mastwalk and the Keelwalk - were so exciting we just knew we couldn’t stop there. We were all in agreement; we wanted to do something even bigger and better”, Thomson comments. Videos of the Keelwalk – a challenge which involved Alex walking along the orange keel of his racing yacht, while heeled over and sailing at high speed – and the Mastwalk – which saw Alex climb the 98-foot mast of the HUGO BOSS and dive from the very top into the water – have now been viewed by more than 4.5 million people worldwide.
