Who is Victor ?
Victor Rodriguez Santamarta is a spanish paragliding and paramotoring pilot who joined the itv team in 2017.
When he was a young boy, Victor wished to be exactly the men he is today : a fireman and an accomplished pilot ! He started to fly in 2004, then, he spent more times in the air than « his feet on earth » !
By the way, he says himself : « life has such important choices to be made. Flying is a priority and a way of life for me ».
Paramotoring and paragliding gave him the opportunity to live amazing experiences like flying over pyramids in Egypt, crossing the Oman’s deserts, flying over sacred places in Thailand and many more adventures.
In our current range, Baja is his favorite wing for perfect landing and its versatility; the Fury for slalom races and for free flights in the mountains he choose his « incredible » Guardian, our cross wing !
For the coming year, Victor plans to continue training with the Spanish paramotor team to participate in priority in the slalom competition, the Brazilian championships and the Spanish championships.
On the paragliding side, he plans to participate in the event organized by Redbull, the DolomitenMann, but also to continue his participation and training in precision landing.
Victor loves to combine all his passions, he will travel a lot. Follow him on his social networks so you don't miss a thing!
