    Athlete Takes to the Waves on Skis

    A video was uploaded to YouTube by BOGNER TV on June 24, which features an athlete surfing—with skis and poles. The video, “Willy Bogner Film // Skiing Hawaii” doesn’t include many details, but it’s assumed the cameraman of the particular footage is in fact Willy Bogner, a former alpine ski racer from Germany, fashion designer, and owner of the Bogner outdoor clothing brand, which he inherited from his father.

    The short film includes a title screen of “Chuck the Ripper.” The YouTube channel is an extension of the clothing company, used to promote not only the latest items offered by the brand but a variety of outdoor sports films as well. The now 72-year-old was the cameraman for complex skiing footage in a number of James Bond films from the 1960s through 1980s, which led to several awards.
