into the atlantic islands - a brief introduction

Into the Atlantic islands is a project born from the seek of art, sports and travel. Sami Sauri, Sergio Villalba and Christian Rosillo get together to create not just films but art pieces by documenting it all in analog photography and creating fanzines from each of those adventure episodes.

We want to change the way people explore, with the combination of sports cultures and landscapes on each location.

We will cover every episode with paper Fanzines and collaborations with brands creating a unique product that will be both sold and sent to people so the profits of all this will go to a cycling kids association.

The Instagram will be covered with feed, reels, IGTV videos and stories of each trip and some BTS.

The Adventures

01 – MADEIRA ISLANDS

On 2021 we took our first trip into Madeira combining surf with cycling, culture and landscapes.

We embarked ourselves into an adventure of a week making the loop and searching waves, the film series contains Sami by bike, Sergio and Christian by car documenting it all.

With this project the only idea was to motivate people no matter how and what to go outside and follow their dreams.

02 – ICELAND

You travel through all these places and think how amazing the earth is, how grateful to meet friends on the road that feed you with good snacks. We are currently in Iceland where we came with the opportunity to make our second trip, a place recognized worldwide by its vast landscape, crazy terrain and weather.

Motivation is what drives us to do these things and we don’t care if they are perfect or if they are stunning, we just want to have fun.

03 – CANARY ISLANDS

Canary islands, the place where it all started, where I met Sergio Christian and Hector, it has our blood and our sould on our born country. Canary is special to us, its composed by 8 islands and each of them totally diferent to the other. They each have its particularity and lots of story’s to tell. I think this are pretty, extreme and with a long time culture that we can’t wait to tell you more

04 – AZORES ISLANDS

Azores, known as the place that could still live a dinosaur, it’s crazy flashy green combined with top volcanos lakes and little undiscover places azores could just be a surpirse to us.
There are 9 of them and we want to explore and vistit them all, no matter if its by foot, bike or wind.
