Surfing, if you see the abundance of actionshots coming by on this feed you might think I’ve forgotten about the beauty and depth of the sports- lifestyle (?)- culture which goes way beyond the shortlived moments surfers actually spend up and riding on their boards.
The first light surfchecks on chilly morning with still sleepy eyes breathing in the fresh salty air while seeing perfectly groomed waves by offshore winds in pastel coloured sunrise skies.
Sunset sessions leaving you in awe, feeling the raw power and untamable energy of nature, trying to make it your ally rather than en enemy. There’s no use in fighting a fight you can never win, yet as soon as you think you master her, you get a humbling pounding, a thorough clean up through the wave washing machine, letting you know who is boss.
Surfing connects and bonds… there is no pleasure in riding waves without being able to share them with friends. I feel forever grateful for the countless encounters with once strangers in the water who became friends, all over the world, without needing to tell we know and feel we share an incredible passion.
Surfing makes you live in the moment. I’ve written it before. Having a history and vulnerability for mental health issues, surfing and surfphotography are a huge indispensable part of my therapy. Floating around at sea, watching the horizon, being rocked by the ocean like a baby in its cradle.
It pulls me out of my mind, calms my thoughts just like mindfulness meditation does, without I soon get restless and lose myself.
So much more I could write , but thank you surfing, thank you ocean, thank you mother nature.
1) contemplation
2) beautiful sunrise surf
3)idem
4) Hossegor to Capbreton view
5) pre surf, perfect light,m.
6) 1000 km’s from home and bumping into your surfing friend
7) checking, mindsurfing, belly tickle
8) no risk, no glory
9) , no words needed to feel we share the love for the surf
10) just nearly escaping a roaring washing machine.

Despite the Belgian North Sea staying suspiciously calm for a long while, I can feel it in my fingers and my toes Winter now really is looming around the corner…
Frosty mornings, short days, long nights, threatening skies , lots of darkness with gaps of the most beautiful light and contrast…
With Wintertime I’ve always always been in a love hate affair considering myself a son of the sea yet not of the cold…
Fortunately the winter surfing gear has evolved a huge lot the last decades making the cold a whole lot less threatening and heavy on the body than it once was.
Yesterday my dear friend Bart owner of the shop in Brugge shared the news the great Yulex winter wetsuits are available again and can be ordered through him.
I own the R4 Yulex chest Zip wetsuit sunce a year and very comfortably floated through the coldest days of last Winter with it and I’m pretty sure it will get me through the one coming up again. I’m happy to recommend it as a great wintersuit.
I read more and more articles about the heavy ecological footprint we have as surfers and especially the production of classic neoprene wetsuits seems to be an extremely toxic process. Something is accommodating by providing an alternative using the natural Yulex rubber in the construction of their suits
I’m as guilty as so many of my co-inhabitants of this beautiful planet in leaving a way too big footprint and have no intention, nor the right to blame anyone. Yet I’m trying to become more and more conscious about it and change my behavior towards more eco-friendlyness and it’s something I ‘ld love to be able to share with others.
On the other hand, when the feelings of hopelesness get too much I soothe myself with the following words of a wise friend: “It’s still way better to be inconsistently good than to be consistently bad…
Thank you and have a wonderful day.

.dominguez_ throwing some decent spray and clearly sharing the pleasure.
I guess that summarizes a big part of what it’s all about. Sharing precious moments with friends, sharing the stoke and pushing each other forward.

or KylianGuerin, French powerhouse , currently on an XL swell strike mission.
Known for pushing the boundaries of paddling into heavy hollow fast drainers.
Likes it big, yet doesn’t hesitate to tear apart the French Beachbreaks on the smaller days.
