African dreams

In the search to bring you photos from around the globe, I often stumble upon gems from Africa.

Today's photo comes from Morocco - seemingly the land of the rights.

I think Morocco would be a great place to go on a surfing surfari - not only for the waves, but also for the stunning landscapes and unique cultural experience...

I guess this is one of the reasons I am grateful surfing is a huge part of my life. Surfing has not only given me many special memories, but surfing has also taken me all over the world and showed me many wonderful places.

Sweet sweet memories

As readers may be aware, I was lucky enough to go on a surf trip to Mexico around three years ago.

I spent three and a half weeks of that trip on the Baja Peninsula.

There are loads of great quality right and points scattered all along that place. So, in the name of memories, I went looking for Baja clips on line.

I found this one and just had to post it. The quality of the footage is not that great, but it is of a spot I spent about five days at. I'm not giving its location away but, needless to say, great memories...

The twilight zone

I'm hoping this spot was surfed at dawn rather than dusk.

I can't imagine anything worse than having a spot like this to myself at dusk, and racing to get as many waves as possible before the sky goes black. To me, with my disposition, that is the definition of anxiety!
