It has now been a year since the new sport of Liquid Mountaineering was first sighted on the lakes of Geres, Portugal and despite our confession, people continue to debate whether it is real or not. If you haven't seen the viral or making of video, check out the videos tab on our Liquid Mountaineering page.
The video has now had over 9.5m YouTube views to date and has featured heavily in the media, including The Sun, The Daily Star, the Guardian, The Metro and the Sunday Times. As well as this UK media coverage, the video has featured on TV channels all around the world including ESPN (USA), Fox News (USA) and The Morning Show (Australia) to name just a few.
After seeing the viral it appears we have inspired people to create their own Liquid Mountaineering videos, which we have thoroughly enjoyed watching! You can view some of our favourite ones under the 'Get Involved' tab on the Liquid Mountaineering page.
As Sebastian mentions in the video, the Hi-Tec shoes they use 'help the team get those extra steps'. The shoes featured in the video are from our V-Lite Infinity collection and feature the revolutionary ion-mask™ hydrophobic technology, keeping your footwear lighter and cleaner.
Some of you may have noticed the 'coming soon' banner on the Liquid Mountaineering page and we are pleased to announce that we will be launching the Liquid Mountaineering game in around 2-3 weeks time. We'll have more details to follow over the coming weeks!
