WALK TO THE TOP

Kuirau Park and the walking trail situated in Rotorua,Bay of Plenty,New Zealand.

Areas of great geothermal activity.

Not only rivers.

In 6 months of New Zealand,I did a photo shooting with about 2.500-3.000 good shots that are in my photographic stock and in that of my image agency and I met old friends from New Zealand and Australia,collegues as rafting guides,20 years before,in Italy.

Also in this case all images are into “Photographia”.The Photo Agency of mine company.

“Photographia” is,Photo - stock,shop,photography,shooting,consultancy and communication.

But visited also dozens of cities and spaces from lakes to mountains,from the sea to rivers,from hills to plans.

In this sector,too,I have now held almost all management roles and today construction is the main branch of my company.

Which then split into also in:

- constructions 360 °;
- bioconstructions,green buildings,passive houses.
- acquisition and sale of Villas,Hotels,Resorts and Castles.

And navigated a dozen of new rivers for first time.And not for first time,at sight.

Now New Zealand is one of the destinations of my rafting journeys.

Apart the European and World Championships,in the world of rafting I have played any role,as well as in construction (or almost in the latter case).

I started the two activities almost simultaneously more than 20 years ago and still today they are the two main branches of my company flanked today also by communication-marketing and photography,which I was interested in even before in a non-professional way like now.

Today my Rafting Company is involved in the Italian summer season,in 9 European stages combining the wind tunnel for simulated parachuting from june to september,9 destinations in the south hemisphere in 4 continents during the winter of the northern hemisphere and 76 nations worldwide during all the year;with 4 different formulas,and more than 150 instructors from all over the world,creating a complex and articulated machine but at the same time agile and ductile.

More than 1.000 stories without photo - editing to show a STYLE.

My AUTOBIODATAPHY

Italian origin,Hungarian mother,spent mine first childhood in Rimini,passing from Trentino in Italy to the first overseas experience take place in New Zealand.

I lived in Budapest,my second home,Rimini,where I was born and returned,Bologna,where I studied as a boy and had fun when I grew up,the UK where I studied and had fun,central Italy from the sea to the Apennines,New Zealand in hundreds of its aspects,the Italian Alps both in summer and in winter only for unconventional sports.I have instead traveled to other 15-20 States.

Grew up in a country Villa with swimming pool,wooded park,large non-aggressive dogs since ever that someone tried to poison,a short distance from large centers,skiing in winter on the highest peaks in Italy,and enjoying the sea in summer in 5 minutes,where I saw the poverty of the italians.But I also lived the high mountains and the oceans,in structures of all kinds.I spent my childhood also in hotels run by the family and then try again the experience of management a few years ago.So when I was big,I searched,found and managed a 3*** with 45 rooms on the sea in Italy.

My childhood was also intense,much like what has happened up to now and what I have planned for the future.A lot of experiences since young and travels,especially in Hungary,my second home,but also throughout Europe.I've been traveling alone since I was 12,maybe earlier.My Hungarian grandfather gave me the keys to the house when I was 13 to come back late at night in a city with more than a milion of people.I did long road trips,big weekends,intercontinetal flights,transferts and transports,guiding bycycles,motorbikes,cars,vans,trucks,boats,little,medium and larges,rafts.In short,now I have the tattooist in Bologna and the tatami in Rimini.

My first overseas experience has been traveling New Zealand for 6 months finding rafting guides,my collegues in Italy 25 years before.I also slept in the hotels,by tent in the forest,in B&B and in backpackers hostels.

In the meantime I studied in Italy and abroad,became the boy scout leader,the class head and the school head.I founded associations,firms and companies.I also regularly obtained my diploma with good grades,studied and obtained dozens of extra-scholastic certificates,driving licenses,licenses,patents in various sectors with excellent results,as well as learned four languages and one dialect.I tried two universities to understand them uselessness,studied music and guitar playing in public performances.I built my library with books and manuals,also in foreign languages,and about 15 technical-scientific magazines and journals to which I have been a subscriber for many years.I built also my music playlist with any kind of style gender and age.I can cook very well in every condition,I can appreciate the best beers,wines and drinks.I work with wood with professional industrial machines and small tools,creating design objects.I can do small electrical and plumbing jobs,the painter and ordinary masonry works into the house.I read,I constantly watch old and new films,I have several collections and I am passionate about enigmatography.I also like to do large gardening jobs with large trees,hedges,plants,flowers and lawns.I drove a training ship and a merchant ship,dinghies and motorboats.Cars of all types including racing cars,vans,trucks,scooters,motorbikes.Over the years I have driven millions of kilometers on any type of surface and condition and more than one vehicle,while in the water,thousands,with much more tumultuous conditions.However,they were intense years of love,friendships,a big motorcycle accident,parties,swimming in the sea and skiing,sports,work,travels, competitions etc..

Don't forgetting extreme love relationships,long and short time,abroad,long and short distance of each kind,because I love women.Until now I have had long relationships with many points in common:

1) all graduates with full marks and honors in the same university course,in different countries of the world;
2) all born on the same day of the same month;
3) all with the same perspicacity to understand to go their own way because it was no longer the case to waste my time;
4) all of the most useless things I've ever brought on a trip,or I have not brought.

Although for work and pleasure I am often in the mountains here and there and I was born and raised in a seaside towns close to sea and hightest mountains in Europe.Just like the mountains,I also experienced the sea in all sorts of ways,I enjoyed it and worked on it.In 2020 it will be 4 years that I returned to live between Emilia Romagna and Marche (Italy),also working in tourism and continuing the missions of my Company.

I worked with furnitures,home lighting,home coordinates in a European franchise,furnishing accessories,hotel hospitality and catering,setting up and supplying points of sale in the furniture sector,constructions,outdoor,international events,extreme,tourism,luxury real estate,watersports,sports,advertising,marketing,communication,photography,properties,real estate.

Over the years I have followed the logistics of the family furniture factory,of the family chain of franchised stores with 25 points of sale in Italy and 15 in Hungary that of a hotel that I have managed,of various construction companies as now,as well as of various rafting centers,like mine now,my photo agency and my advertising agency.

Then I travelled a lot taking the opportunity to expand my knowledge of outdoor,tourism,events,rafting,construction,real estate and photography founding my Company that in just over five years have established relationships with about 500 Collaborators-Suppliers that means, 37 countries,24 languages.

Now I deal broadly planning,programming and organizing initiatives for sport promotion also with collaboration of private subjects,associations and other entities operating in the sector.
Then I manage web portals,databases and data with an adv agency and a photo agency.At last,my first interest is the construction and the renovation of civil and industrial buildings and properties at 360°.

With my construction company I have built residential,private,commercial,industrial,green,bio and normal construction sites.I managed projects,construction sites,materials,employees,vehicles.But visited also dozens of cities,spaces and properties from lakes to mountains,from the sea to rivers,from hills to plans.I spend a lot of time on my construction sites observing the progress of the works,the workers,the equipment and the technical means,the construction techniques and the materials,as I do for rafting,photography and communication.At first I also followed the real estate agent course and I was also involved in sales.

In this sector,too,I have now held almost all management roles and today construction is the main branch of my company,which split into:

- constructions 360 °;
- bioconstructions,green buildings,passive houses.
- acquisition and sale of Villas,Hotels,Resorts and Castles.

After the management of an hotel on the sea in Italy,I entered also in a trading round of acquisition and sale of Villas,Hotels,Resorts and Castles,one of the branch of mine present construction company.I also visited dozens of properties in the most exclusive places.

I did 6 months in New Zealand,lived in 3 different places and travelled a lot,where I was also able to visit and see new types of buildings,materials and techniques,useful for my construction company.

Over the years I have made dozens of improvements in my properties and rafting bases.In this last case,for the wooden structures that were added to the existing reinforced concrete ones,I acted as a consultant for an architect who managed European funds for mountain tourism.In addition to designing the wooden structures,I managed the redevelopment of at least three other structures in the valley,with bathrooms,changing rooms,bar,office and parking,relax area,solarium,gift shop,free tents area.
In about 25 years of river activities I have tested dozens of rivers,locations here and there,as well as different types of rafts,hydrospeed,kayaks and other means for white water to understand the destination of spots for tourism and sports.

I founded Patrick Carafa Construction offerings range between the different sectors of the scope construction addressing stakeholders and not the field,because the activities aimed at the same are dedicated to individuals and companies that they want to make use of experience,knowledge and competence.News of Patrick Carafa Construction are the green building,bioconstruction,passive houses and restructuring and specializes in property management,as well as in "turnkey" taking care of the preliminary studies of feasibility and the acquisition,design and construction,the finishing and delivery,management,construction,renovation,purchase and sale.Villas,Hotels,Castles and Resorts are in the availability of the company.

Moreover I created a team of experienced professional engineers,architects,interior designer and project
managers who create and develop ideas together with clients for custom built homes,villas and residences.We work on projects from the earliest stages of design to develop exterior
and interior solutions,a cost plan and construction programme with design services for Interior-Exterior-Landscaping,Building Permits,Project Management & Construction and Additional Services.

With photography,I used analogue and digital,polaroid,compact cameras,reflex,mirrorless,7-8 types of smartphones,tablet,small,medium and large format,using film,digital,slides,B-W and colour,even in extreme conditions and events,then creating my photographic stock of about 500,000 photos,doing 50 different shootings of all kind,all with different themes and subjects.By day,by night,all 4seasons,with rain,snow,fog and sun,on board of any kind of mean.In the water,on the snow,on the ground,taking images of all 4 elements.Never published a picture using a photo - editor even if I know a lot of softwares;all my images are realty and will never happen.I had to take pictures with digital,using professionals camera,tablets and 7-8 different smartphones to deal with new technologies.I watch dozens of old and new movies more and more convinced that many times the cinematographer-director of photography is more important than the director.Now I have my Photo Agency doing photo & image with shootings and ideas,creating photos,my photo – stock,shop,shootings,consultancies,communication.

My first photo shoot was at the age of 11 with a Yashica FX-3 SUPER 2000 and while in university I took my first photography course to compare,improve,learn and correct my style.My shots of events that I organized and about my style,was awarded also by Editors of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC YOUR SHOT,a lot of other social channels and followed by thousands of followers on my social media.

I use to do photoshootings with 2 kind of cameras at the same time,using color and B-W.Same when when I was participiant and member of the Staff of the G4 Land Rover Challenge (ex Camel Trophy) and for the Jeep CAMP-Chrysler.

I did also the my 1st Smartshooting ever.A year of shots,20 years after living in a city in the north Italy.My first project with a smartphone,my first smartphone in 42 years and more than 1000 images in 365 days taken from the walls of the city collecting thoughts,joys,anger,pain,humor and rumors.Images,stories fragments of life that add to the personal photo - stock and to that of my photo – agency.

I created thousands of albums,both analogic that digital,galleries,collections,groups,databases,titles,styles,boards.

In many years of photography I have also photographed my companions,in official as well as in unofficial areas and did photo services on board of a rafts,hydrospeed,kayaks,helicopters,airplanes,cars and motorbikes and other means.

I have always a camera with me,long before digital ones and smartphones.

With water activities,when I’m not on a raft or something else,I’m anyway on the river taking pictures of my collegues.

All images that I produce goes into “Photographia”,the Photo Agency of mine company.
“Photographia” is,Photo - stock,shop,photography,shooting,consultancy and communication.

My pictures and photoshooting are also used for press and web,in Adv Campaigns,as well as into social media.My shots are used also for screensavers of the smarthphones.

Large following on social media and on NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC YOUR SHOT,the social channel of National Geographic;for each picture,more than 1500 likes in a few days,comments,answers,stories and lots of people,many faces,many new people known.In this channel,I published more than 1.300 stories without photo - editing,years of shots,dozens of different cameras and lens,various equipment,any condition of light,all 4 elements,just a part of mine photo stock.The day after having published it,trending and popular on the timeline of the channel for pictures about my journeys,outdoors,stories,experiences with dozens of comments,answers,likes,observations and discussions.Places,stories,experiences,a lot of people around the world,nature,cities,landscapes,water,air,ground and also fire.

With the most voted images on the National Geographic social photo channel,I created a photographic agenda,a calendar and other gadgets for a sort of merchandising.

One of mine biggest works,has been during my first overseas experience.6 months of New Zealand,also doing a photo shooting with about 2.500-3.000 good shots that are in my photographic stock and in that of my image agency;moreover,I met old friends from New Zealand and Australia,collegues as rafting guides,20 years before,in Italy.

I photographed also other rafting centers of my collegues and the images has been used for press and web in Adv Campaigns

After a serious motorcycle accident run over by a sober Italian,I was also a case of Italian medical malpractice with wrong operations and treatments in an Italian hospital,but as soon as possible I got back on the bike.Then I followed rafting and hydrospeed courses,taking exams and earning licenses and I became an extreme athlete with rafting and hydrospeed,improving my kayak skills,following dozens of experts worldwide in watersports for my rafting company that now operates in 90 nations worldwide.Doing then,a rafting guide,a rafting instructor,the trip leader,the hydrospeed guide and an hydrospeed instructor for commercial trips and journeys.

So I started training in the Alps and Appenines,also under the snow,making hundreds of kilometers in the river and in the car,even theoretical studies,etc,etc,etc..For big satisfactions.Then,under a bridge,I did my first exam for the rafting guide license;more than 25 years ago.The first step of my rafting career.In the city of Romeo and Juliet.Immediately after,I runned on the Italian Alps,in a section of the world kayak championships,for the course of one week that I passed,starting in this way,my first summer season as a rafting guide.After 3 years I’ve opened my first rafting center on the Italian Appennines.

My first work has been on a river Class IV-V,immediately big,big rivers since the beginning of my career,immediately with the big ones,in one of the best organization in Europe and on board of the best boats of the world with collegues from all over the world.On one of the ten best rivers in the world for rafting and water acitivities,according also to National Geographic and the best in Europe for Lonely Planet.Courted by several rafting centers here and there,I have always refused to change my choice.

At the moment,apart the European and World Championships,in the world of rafting I have played any role,as well as in construction (or almost in the latter case).I started the two activities (rafting and construction) almost simultaneously more than 20 years ago and still today they are the two main branches of my company flanked today also by communication-marketing and photography,which I was interested in even before in a non-professional way like now.

In my carreer,I did great experiences.

I opened new waterways by rafting and hydrospeed,to test the potential of the place,deciding that it would be possible to accompany adults and also kids,taught and created courses participated and created events,created several rafting centers,organized rafting trips and journeys around the world and created the franchise chain of my rafting company,navigating rivers by experience or by sight for the first time,without ever having seen them before.Visited dozens of places:from lakes to mountains,from the sea to rivers,from hills to cities.Took also the opportunity to shoot thousands of images for my photographic stock,for my photo agency,for web and print.

On several occasions,for rafting,hydrospeed,snowrafting,kayak and outdoors events,I have searched,found and tried a location.Same thing for hotels,restaurants,B&Bs,museums and alternative activities to expand the offer to customers.Into tourism I also searched,found and managed an a 45 rooms hotel,a restaurant and a bar on the sea of the Mediterranean and a camping on Italian Appenines.

During an Italian summer season I was responsible for river guides,a group of about 15-20 guys,females and males,into an a facility on Appenines while my rafting center was open elsewhere organizing adventure trips in 4 continents.
For them,I’ve also searched,found and tested a new waterway never done before with no means,in a village in the mountains,by hydrospeed.To then open a center dedicated only to hydrospeed,also dealing with marketing,management of the structure,communication.So I was also in charge of this structure of the hydrospeed guides,also taking care of the photographic services.At the same time,with the head of the structure,I participated in the creation of an adventure camp with ropes and I was of help in one of their shelters in the high mountains.
So I was also fortunate to be able to participate in part,in the construction of the park,as I could expand my knowledge in terms of climbing.In those months I have also implemented my skills in photography by expanding my personal stock and that of my photographic agency.

In New Zealand,living for six months as a native or with indigenous people,I have improved my skills as a rafting guide and as a rafting company owner driving dozens of new rivers at first sight and making thousands of images for my personal stock and that of my photographic agency.Currently New Zealand are one of the destinations of my adventure trips that I organize on 4 continents with about 90 destinations.I lived with the Kiwis,a common self-reference used by New Zealanders,though it is also used internationally.Its usage is not considered offensive.Traveling the country,I also slept in the hotels,by tent in the forest,in B&B and in backpackers hostels;this last one is one of the worst solution never tried where young guys from all over the world have nothing to do and wander around the countries without goals.

I runned closed rivers,for safety reasons,to the commercial descents,both alone and with technical support from kayakers,coming from other continents,by rafting and by hydrospeed.

Runned waters of Alps,Appennines,mountain ranges here and there;warm and cold water;waves,holes,rapids,eddies,drops,falls,gorgeous,by day and by night,with rain,sun,wind or snow,around 4 seasons.With rafts and sledges,accompanying kids,experts,women,passionate,adults,disabled,companies,associations,brave and scared,swimmers and not,groups,single,lovers,married couples,families,friends,relatives;for fun,for work,for anniversary and celebrations,for surf,for fashion,for adv,for sport,for memories.I did hundreds of briefings of any kind and into any kind of condition.Thousands of customers have by now been able to visit my facilities.

I guided the highest waterfall in the world commercially feasible.Before driving that river I tried the route several times with local instructors given the complex safety procedures that are behind it;unlike all the other rivers,that I have always navigated in first driving on sight.Moreover I visited the hightest waterfall in Europe as well as the largest.

About riverboarding,in about 25 years of river activity I have tested by hydrospeed hundreds of waves,holes,eddys,customers,as well as many rivers,materials,weather conditions,collaborators.

About kayak my first paddle was made by PVC.If it had been made of any other material or alloy,I would have destroyed many of them.Being self-taught,I reach II-III grade without exaggerating.Also for this reason I started with a simple paddle.I also used it to surf the waves of the sea trying both fresh and salt water.It can be used for KAYAK and CANOE,but the first is better.

I drived rafts into column sof 10-12 boats.I guided rafts with oars and paddles,katarafts by oars,tubing,kayaks.I did MTB and downhill,also races.I also used kayaks to surf the waves of the sea trying both fresh and salt water.And used canoes into lakes,katarafts and more inflatables means.I can do surf in the river with rafts and sledges tryng in my career a lot and different of waves.

Briefings and activities also by night as happen often in my jobs with rafting,cars,events and more.Friends,organizations,institutions,work colleagues,schools,entities,associations,sports and tourism operators,families and more and more.But also couples.A lot.

I have participated in river rescue operations,looked for corpses and recovered people in danger both in the activities of my rafting center and in normal life,I have saved friends at the beach and in the pool.organized meetings,business outputs,fairs,conventions,extreme events,being guide,instructor,educator in extreme watersports.There are some rivers where I call all stones by name.

Thanks to my first and unique rafting company where I’ve worked as rafting and hydrospeed guide on Class IV-V river I collaborated from outside in big events.I was also participiant and member of the Staff of the G4 Land Rover Challenge (ex Camel Trophy) and for the Jeep CAMP-Chrysler.In G4 my team,wins the Italian selection of the G4 Land Rover Challenge where one of ours has been the only one among all the participants who will go to England for the world selections.I was in the first edition of the Italian selections of G4 Land Rover Challenge (Ex Camel Trophy),before the selections for the world edition,in Tuscany where I had to do the safety kayaker and then ask me to be a participant with a pleasant result.In the second edition,also in Tuscany,in a private estate of thousands of hectares as in the first edition,I did the safety kayaker as well as in the Chrysler "Jeep Camp" in Croatia (for the European meeting).I did also a photoshooting with 2 kind of cameras using color and B-W.

I did,as a Staff member in team building,experiences with rafting and outdoors,for TOP managers of global multinationals,while my rafting base was closed for the end of the summer season.

Now I'm PRO of rafting and hydrospeed.Each season is different to other and each one is unforgettable in his way.I know all the Italian regions quite well,including the islands,and I've never seen the Val d’Aosta and so much,the Europe.My company is constantly informed on current health events as well as ordinary ones;constantly following the governmental bodies,health and non-health,of all the states in the world in which we operate.

Today my Rafting Company is involved in the Italian summer season,in 9 European stages combining the wind tunnel for simulated parachuting from june to september,9 destinations in the south hemisphere in 4 continents during the winter of the northern hemisphere and 76 nations worldwide during all the year;with 4 different formulas,and more than 150 instructors from all over the world,for rafting-hydrospeed-kayak,mountain guides and outdoor instructors of multiethnic origin;a melting pot of people and experiences.Creating a complex and articulated machine but at the same time agile and ductile.The company includes my Rafting Center,doing School,Travels,Events at 360°.

I started the activities almost simultaneously with constructions more than 20 years ago and still today they are the two main branches of my company flanked today also by communication-marketing and photography,which I was interested in even before in a non-professional way like now.

For my first rafting center,I searched,found and started in bases with the free area for tents,and the area for the BBQ during the day and at night by candlelight.Bathrooms,changing rooms,bar,office and parking,relax area,solarium,gift shop.In about 25 years of river activity I have tested also dozens of rivers,locations here and there,different types of rafts,hydrospeed,kayaks and other means for white water.

In this structure,I decided to combine the activities with the possibility of BBQ for lunch and dinner.The Italians,the worst customers ever,get carried away and harass us with requests so it happened to make grills even in double shift.The quantity and variety of food was considerable as were the drinks;at an affordable price,as in the table service restaurant.By candlelight,on the riverside,all coordinated after the experiences in the family businesses in furniture,objects for the home,and hundreds of proven hotels and restaurants.Bonfire not far away for after dinner as well as for digestive bitters and desserts.Free place fo tents.Hundreds of requests.So my Company created a card with advantages and special events and we offer different kind of “CUDDLES”,combinated with water activities and outdoors,as well as:

- CHEF Nights;
- Hammocking;
- Glamping and candles;
- BBQ with meat or fish;
- Aperitiv and bonfire;
- Beach pocket and moon;

In the years,my Company created a card with advantages not accessible to Under 21s,especially activities as rafting-outdoor and recreational time,offering for the age group 04 - 21 exclusively dedicated didactic-educational-training courses to teach them a lot of stuff.

I organized water activities and team building for companies,groups,associations and more,as well as for the canine teams that deal with rescuing swimmers at sea for Civil Protection:a special days for groups of the Civil Protection used usually for natural calamities and safety of the swimmers of the Italian beaches and teams of rescue using them over the rafts simulating operational scenarios.They had never tried the water and the current of the river so we did different exercises both in the water and on the inflatable boats for rescue of swimmers.The same thing we did in winter with snowrafting.It has allowed me to enrich my knowledge in education as well as allowed me to better train the instructors of my rafting company.

My Rafting Structure,punctually organizes also courses divided into 3 steps for different boats,different hydrospeeds and kayaks,depending on the type of river,the water level,the number of people and the type of customers,with the aim of guiding our means.In Italy and abroad.In the years I trained dozens of guys.BASE-ADVANCED-SAFETY,for different boats,different hydrospeeds and kayaks,depending on the type of river,the water level,the number of people and the type of customers.

I organized a lot of training experience for rafting guides in mine rafting company.Different boats for different kind of education.In my center,we created people who will then be employed in our adventure trips on 4 continents as well as in the summer season in Italy and in the weekends around Europe where we combine rafting and simulated skydiving in the wind tunnel.The photos I took on board were used for web campaigns,social media and print,for mine photo stock and for that of my agency.

For the snowrafting,I did the first test with loyal customers of the rafting center and river guides that I trained at my facility for snowrafting descents.

Anyway me and my company over the years organized dozens of team building events,events,courses with the most different categories,both in the public and in the private sector.

In some rivers,I named all the rapids,also making graphics for the nautical base,the web and information material.In more than 20 years of experience in the river I did safety talks in a lot of places and ways.

Actually,the "Patrick Rafting Company" is specialized,where required,also in the management of activities for groups and companies,events and outdoor activities,as well as in travel,but also in feasibility studies for the implementation of new commercial waterways addressing the different issues that may arise.

During the year we offer courses - guides,rafting descents,events (such as the Italian Rafting Tour) or team building experiences and-or company outings with the help of multi-ethnic staff and different professional training in water sports and in the outdoor.First Aid and Basic Life Support courses (cardiac resuscitation awaiting the arrival of a mobile rescue unit) are also included;as well as those of gradual approach to river kayaking and the supplementary activities reserved for experienced kayakers (specialization in river rescue).

The activities aimed at training are aimed at aspiring sports operators or tour operators who want to enrich their skills.
The guides and instructors of the Rafting Center "Patrick Rafting" are dedicated to different sports.

The proposal includes different educational paths:

* specific training courses for those who wish to become
Rafting Guide,
* specific courses for those wishing to become a Hydrospeed Guide,
* Kayak and Safety Kayaker courses,
* BLS courses,
* First Aid course.

Over the years I have made dozens of improvements in my rafting bases.For the wooden structures that were added to the existing reinforced concrete ones,I acted as a consultant for an architect who managed European funds for mountain tourism.In addition to designing the wooden structures,I managed the redevelopment of at least three other structures in the valley.

More than 20 new rivers in the last 2 years.At least 8 different brands of raft,3 of sledges,10 of kayaks,driven in more than 20 years.From flat water to CLASS V.Runned on Alps,Appennines,mountain ranges here and there;warm and cold water;waves,holes,rapids,eddies,drops,falls,gorgeous,by day and by night,with rain,sun,wind or snow,around 4 seasons.Using paddle,oars or nothing;accompanying kids,experts,women,passionate,adults,disabled,dogs units,schools,companies,associations,police,boy - scouts,brave and scared,swimmers and not,groups,single,lovers,married couples,families,friends,relatives;for fun,for work,for anniversary and celebrations,for fashion,for sport,for memories.Also swimming pools for exibitions.

I have tested hundreds of customers,as well as many rivers,materials,weather conditions,collaborators,and trained several people who then worked in my facilities and in other companies.The experience leads you to learn about construction materials and methods,differentiating the types of sledges,rafts,kayaks,wetsuites of 3 and 5 mm,boleros of 5 mm,lifejackets,fins,helmets,according to the type of river and the surrounding conditions.

The "musts" of the Patrick Rafting Center are,leisure,training,education (free time,training and education).

Among the many curiosities that have occurred in about 25 years,an Italian girl tried to steal the logo and I was copied by many,causing dozens of structures like mine to open which they try in vain to imitate.
Over the time,a lot of strange requests,also explicitly asked to do a rafting descent without other people.I did hundreds of briefings of any kind and into any kind of condition.

Never stopped.Travels,journeys,trips,weekends,excursions,explorations,holidays,transfers.Time is precious.

At last I created,ideated,built,founded my personal brand or luxury unit,my luxury corner.

So today I'm professional in constructions and properties,rafting,outdoors,extreme watersports,tourism,marketing,advertising and photography.

This is Patrick Carafa GROUP.
