The All-Time Best Surfing Quotes

Posted by Daddy in Blog

When you become a surfer and you really catch the bug, there is no coming back. You check the forecast every few hours hoping it’s gonna improve and believe in the most optimistic one.

Posted by Daddy in Blog

I’m not big on surfing per se, despite the title of this blog. Since the age of 5 my life is a mix of sailing, windsurfing, kitesurfing and more recently SUP’ing.

Yup, surfers have a rather bad rep amongst all other boarders. But they do work so hard for it! Only recently a…read more
