Uprising is a self-development platform built around the power of sport, mindset, and nature.
More than just a surf lab and ski school, Uprising is a space where individuals come to challenge themselves, embrace struggle, and grow beyond their limits.
Whether on the waves or the slopes, we train not just for performance, but for resilience, self-mastery, and connection—to ourselves, to each other, and the world around us.
At Uprising, we believe that true progress begins from within.
You don’t rise to the level of your expectations, you fall to the level of your process—and that process starts with building mental resilience, emotional strength, and physical endurance.
Our training is designed to help you manage fear, stay present under pressure, and embrace discomfort as part of the journey.
We focus on mental health, performance mindset, and personal growth, ensuring that every challenge—whether in sport or in life—becomes an opportunity to rise.
No one rises alone. Uprising is a community of athletes, adventurers, and seekers, all pushing each other to be better, stronger, and more fearless.
Created by Nick Leventis, former racer, Nick Leventis, former racing driver, Martin Schricke, X-sports rider, Alex Aimard, paraglider, Jokke Summer, wingsuit flyer and Dr. Paul Walker, Uprising was born from the belief that growth happens when we learn together, challenge each other, and support one another.
The Tribe is about sharing knowledge, fostering accountability, and creating an environment where progress is collective.
Whether you’re an elite athlete or just starting out, Uprising is a place where you belong.
We train in some of the world’s most powerful natural landscapes, because we believe that nature is the ultimate teacher.
The ocean, the mountains—they test us, humble us, and remind us of our place in the world.
At Uprising, we respect these elements, learning to work with them rather than against them.
But our movement isn’t limited to one place—Uprising is a mindset that travels, a philosophy that can be lived anywhere.
Wherever you are, whenever you’re ready, you can rise.
