During the month of February Arutkin was lucky enough to spend three weeks in Chile, sailing at various spots such as Matanzas, Topocalma and Pupuya, as well as having the opportunity to sail with other world class sailors; Victor Fernandez (Fanatic / North) and Klaas Voget (Fanatic / Simmer / MFC). In the company of two of the best wave sailors in the world the sixteen year old was able to progress a lot as Arutkin links some delicious waves combined with aerials. AA also looks adept in the air with big stalled forwards and table tops forwards as well as several perfect backloops.
