Capbreton Dawn Patrol

Posted on by

I am back at work in Zarautz and first thing I had to do, was catching up with surfing, hehe.

Katja Pokorn and Domen Bizjak, members of Untouched Crew, are also here, so we did some short trips. We caught few glassy sessions in nearby Deba for starters, which is not so common in Spain when the swell hits.

Main course was a trip to Capbreton, France, full on dawn patrol, but well worth the pain. After two hours of sleep and some chocolate croissants we were ready for the fast shorebreak action near the picturesque WW2 bunkers.

Barbariga at last!

We do not get to surf very often in Adriatic, maybe like 20 to 30 days per year, and its always Medulin. But there is a nice lefthander in Barbariga that works maybe once a year, when the winds, tides and stars align just right.

After five or more unsuccessful check-ups in past three years, we finally nailed it on Sunday! Although it was small to medium size for this spot, it is for sure the best wave near Slovenia and it was International Surfing Day, therefore the best possible time to get a ride there!

Medulin gathering

Few days ago me and few friends went to Medulin to catch some waves before leaving for Spain at the end of June.

The forecast was tricky (isn`t it always?), but everybody went with the “if you don`t go, you don`t know” system and everything turned in an unplanned slovenian surf community gettogether. Waves were small yet glassy, so everyone got a bite!

Ujusansa tapes ready for phase four

I have been documenting surfing since I started to ride the waves and my main focus was getting coverage of surfing in Istra. Surfing community in Slovenia is really small but pretty tight so eventually everybody becomes your surfmate and friend.

Andraž and Klemen at surf club Ujusansa were actually the first ones to offer me a legit job as far as filming goes. They are kind of responsible to kick start my career and I am really thankful for that.

Ujusansa organizes Slovenian nationals and surf camps and I have been doing various stuff for them for few years now. It is cool as they let me do pretty much whatever I want.

This year we want to present a short movie from Ujusansa Surf Kemp in Zarautz, Spain. It is a perfect place to learn surfing, the easygoing Basque vibe is addicting and some of the best beachbreaks in Europe, like Mundaka and Hossegor, are just an hour drive away.

I have shot 24 tapes of footage this summer… which means 24 hours of capturing time… plus 24 hours of clip checking… not to mention that we got some 7d and gopro footy also… and few tapes from last years sessions in France… it should be enough I guess, haha. Expect the premiere in June!

All sorts of action

Diversity is heart beat of creativity and i couldn`t agree more. This week every day was different. First me and Luka Bizjak started the season early while it was really warm and it felt nice to be skateboarding again.

Then we got to surf for two days in Adriatic sea which is such a rare event when you depend on windswell and short fetch. Went to Lignano first, then scored an epic Medulin with no wind and surfed for two and half hours in freezing cold because it was just that much fun! Check the video below…
