It’s not long now until we leave another year behind, and as some are busy tallying up the achievements of 2021, others are hard at work setting up the coming 12 months. Of particular interest to us is what car and bike makers are doing.

Nikolas Plytas is a professional wakeboarder (yes, that’s a thing), but he’s more of a hybrid. He can snowboard, surf, waterski and pretty much do anything on a board. The native of Greece has turned winching into its own thing as well. He just released this wild edit with Red Bull where he creates a hybrid between wake and snowboarding. And it looks really fun. He obviously takes it to the next level but us regular Joes could probably pull this off, too. If we only had a winch.

Nikolas Plytas has made a name for himself with a series of challenging stunts, such as conquering the famous shipwreck at Elefsina.
The Greek waterskier s latest project saw him take to his board on snow as well as his beloved water.
The 25-year-old from Athens started in 2006 with a bullish ambition to not only break his own personal records but also smash longstanding records laid down by other athletes on the water.
Aged 19, he conquered the famous shipwreck at Elefsina, where he performed tricks over the rusty hull.
At the same time, he waterskis as much as possible at his sporting homes - Lake Caiaphas in Zacharo and Aliartos Lake - where his coach George Hatzis has a waterski school.
