Héctor Ramírez Ballesteros, also known as HHector, collaborated with Jose Diaz to create Hip-Hopen Water.
But he also is known in the Spanish open water swimming world for doing the estilo mariposa – or butterfly in the open water.
HHector will attempt the Descenso a Nado de la Ria de Navia today in Asturias, Spain.
Earlier this year, he completed the 9.3km Ruidera (see the Nadandolibre-produced videobelow), a 10km training swim under the guidance of Diaz and the 10km Traverse Bay Cullera Xuquer in preparation for an upcoming butterfly attempt across the Strait of Gibraltar.
