/ PEOPLE
OF RUSHES
The advent of adventure lifestyle sports in India has brought with it a new thrust that has changed the homegrown adventure scene here forever.

Sumer Verma

Under water Photo grapher

Amongst the small fraternity of underwater photographers in the country, Sumer Verma is one of the best. With a portfolio that ranges from wildlife to fashion, Sumer ’s creativity and skill are at the leading edge of a new breed of imaging in India. As part owner of the Lacadives group of dive centres and as one of India’s leading scuba diving instructors, Sumer has spent innumerable hours in and around the sea. Sumer is the recipient of a number of prestigious awards, both national and international, for his creativity in still photography as well as videography. His work has appeared on NDTV and in Outlook Traveler on one end of the spectrum, and Vogue on the other - indicative of the range and flexibility in Sumer’s inimitable style.

Arjun Motha

Kitesurfer

Adventure sports addict Arjun Motha is a consummate kitesurfer and fitness enthusiast who was featured in TheVibe Originals Rushes. As the founder of Tuticorin-based Aqua Outback, Motha runs a beautiful beach-facing getaway where patrons can rewind and rejuvenate while getting back to being with nature. At Arjun's Aqua Outback, those interested can pick up lessons in kitesurfing, wakeboarding, kayaking, snorkelling, fishing and SUP.

Jehan Driver

Kitesurfer

Jehan Driver, featured in the first episode of our original series Rushes, is an old hand of the Indian adventure sports scene. As the Managing Director of Quest Expeditions, he has heralded a quiet revolution, inspiring many emerging talents of adventure sports here in India. A foodie, climber, kitesurfer, paraglider, scuba diver, wildlife lover, instructor, cyclist and an adventure addict, Jehan Driver has been at the forefront of adventure sports tourism in the country.

Samar Farooqui

Highliner Pro

Samar Farooqui is one of India's few slacklining and highlining experts. Samar’s beginnings in the sport were organic from the very start. The professional highliner was introduced to the sport through his kiteboarder-friend Jehan Driver in India, before moving to the adventure capital of the world, Queenstown in New Zealand. Having represented India in the competitions abroad, the founder of his sports and recreation company Slacklife Inc. says that he sees himself mentoring those competing in the slackline world cup. This daredevil was featured in our original series "Rushes."

Udit Thapar

Wingsuit Skydiver

When it comes to unconventional vocations, Udit Thapar seems to be somewhat of an expert. He dons multiple hats — that of a commercial airline pilot, hot air balloon pilot, microlight pilot and a paragliding pilot, all with equal elan. But prod him on what gives him his biggest high, he answers unequivocally, “My rush is wingsuit flying. Flying wingsuits is a perfect balance between falling and flying. It is also the closest form of human flight. Unlike any other form of flying, after wearing a wingsuit, the body transforms into an aerofoil.” Udit Thapar is one of India’s most prolific skydivers and amongst the nation’s only known wingsuit pilots. He was recently awarded the "Tenzing Norgay National Adventure Award" by the President of India. He holds the distinction of being the youngest Indian skydiver at 16 with 800 jumps from 15 types of aircraft and helicopters. He was featured in our original series Rushes.

Bhupendra Singh Rana

Extreme Kayaker

Bhupendra Singh Rana is India’s first Rescue3 International Instructor and one of the most prominent faces in India's extreme kayaking scene. As a child he’d watch kayakers battle the rapids all day long in Haridwar. Inspired by these kayakers from around the world, who made a living off this, he decided to pursue professional kayaking. He organises the Ganga Kayak Festival — an annual International kayak festival that takes place at the holy confluence of rapids at Devprayag, Uttarakhand in February. This is the place where the mighty Ganga (Ganges) forms after the confluence of Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers. Bhupendra's company 'Rescue India' is the first water and rope rescue training company (established in 2015) based in Rishikesh, India. You've seen the maverick on our original series Rushes.

Vinay Menon

Downhill Mountain Biking Athlete

Hailing from Pune, Vinay Menon has been involved with mountain biking, MX, BMX, and the outdoors in general since he was a kid. He serves as the Deputy Editor at India’s leading mountain bike/BMX magazine – Freerider Mtn Bike magazine. He is also the co-Founder of the performance bicycle brand – Psynyde Bikes. He's been biking over the last 20 years and was featured in our original series "Rushes".

With TheVibe Original series Rushes, we at TheVibe are looking to turn the tide distinctly in favour of this new lifestyle trend to bring adventure within reach.

Rushes was the first prototyped series from the TheVibe originals catalogue to get picked up by a mainstream global brand like Mercedes Benz. The series also involved two agencies – Wave Maker and Motion Content Group from the Group M division of the WPP Network.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Rushes was awarded Gold for Brand Integration in the VDONXT Awards 2019 and ICMA awards respectively.
