CONNECTION WITH THE OCEAN! … when surfing, you put all your consciousness into it and focus only on the present. You need to get in a deep connection with the ocean and your body to paddle through the waves, get to the line-up, plan the timing and then enjoy the ride. When this is happening in wild waves, there is no past, there is no future… just the present moment and your clear mind!

This is my favorite part: surfing during sunset 🙂 It’s always stunning to see the sun going down reflecting on the surface of the ocean. It’s the most peaceful moment when I don’t even need to surf, just watch, sit & chill on my board.
