I have been fascinated by Indians since a young age. Their vision that everything that moves has a soul, whether it is concerns animals, plants or water, and that everything is connected, it touches me. I think the latest book by Serv Wiemers about the original inhabitants of America is super written, very inspiring and actually a must read for everyone! It is about the resilience of the Indians and their message to live in balance with nature and the environment.

Our yearly trip to the Canaries brought us this January to the QUEMAO CLASS contest, a two days surf and bodyboard contest on the east coast of Lanzarote. We took the boot from Fuerteventura, drove through the amazing moon-like landscape of the ' Los Volcanes natural park' and arrived at La Santa. They call La Santa “a magical place where the fishing and surfing tradition coexist, creating a constant synergy in one of the best waves in Europe”. Nothing is less true. I have seen this wave now for a couple of times under offshore conditions and it is amazing to see its incredible shape and power and all of that just meters away from the fishermen's boots and tiny harbour. I wonder if the goat has ever surfed it..

Matosinhos, Porto’s main beach, is a lovely surf spot. It offers waves almost all year long and the quality of the waves is good. Since the announcement of the 300-meter extension of the breakwall of the Port of Leixões, the surf spot is in danger. What is going on?

In 2018 I did a first photo exposition for friends and family at Ahoi in Zandvoort, also launching my portfolio book 'Water Works'! Great vibes :) Sea the pictures for a small impression.
