Fuerteventura, Canary Islands. A raw, desert environment, and one of my favourites places on Earth. Fuerte helped me creating my own personal conception about surfing.

Surf in the Mediterranean always represents a Search in between Space - Geography - and Time - History -, and Velocity -for digital forecasts, or life and death of a swell.

Valuting surfability and dimension of a newly-discovered spot is a luck that rarely happens to surfers. I am proud to know Antonio Mercorio and Marco Odoardi.

Secret, Italy. In its days, this is one of the most powerful and perfect pointbreaks in the Mediterranean. The surprisingly thing is that this spot has never been surfed before.

The ending point; of a wave, of a boat.
A search
If you want to search for this wave, it doesn't exist anymore. People started to demolish the boat in 2010. This abandoned ship found somewhere on Mauritania's shores was forming a perfect sandbank, giving solid and perfect 10sec barrells for 200m+ intense rides. I scored this ship first with Google earth, then -after 3000kms) with my eyes.
