There is one more heat of the semis and both women and men finals to surf, so keep on checking the forecast, the series is not even half done…

It was not the best conditions, I guess we all thought it is going to be a lot bigger, but whatever, you don’t get to surf in Adriatic that often. I decided to get some water footy while in contest, just to combine work and fun… never hurts to stock some Medulin footy, hehe.

While the conditions are super hard to tell, the waiting period stretches over few months, but November holidays always bring some days in the water. Thursday was the first day we tried to make it happen, but it all turned into a layday. Winds were simply to strong to keep the faces standing, let alone to get a fair heat for everybody. Everybody got to freesurf, so nothing was lost basically, hehe.

I wanted to leave early, but Katja convienced me to take a quick peek at Barbariga. Good call,  I got one of the top three sessions in Adriatic and still returned home before dark!

I just returned from Basque country with Untouched crew, where we spent two weeks surfing with Ujusansa and it was good times as always. It was battery recharging to the fullest, like reading books on the sunny terrace and stuff like that, haha.

Yet, it is really nice to be back home for a change. Don’t get me wrong, it is a gift, when you get to travel, but after a year mostly on the road, I need to spent some time with homies in Kranstrdam and focus all of my energy on one sole project… the Untouched project.

More pictures from our stay in Spain on Untouched blog… check it out and call for a beer or a miniramp session!

It is about “the people who inhabit, visit, surf and protect” the coasts from France to Portugal, known as “European surf highway”, which is what most of us do in the summer. I had gathered loads of footy in the past four years from all this places, so he invited me to help them out with my archive. I also offered to help him film while we were on the road, why I really enjoy working with him and always learn a lot on the way. We had super good times, surfed breaks I have never been to and saw a great part of Spain, so I enjoyed every bit of it.

Here is the first teaser for the project and make sure to check out all about it on the website…

The clips are pretty standardized, to give some cohesion for each summer, but a lot of different stuff goes down every term, so its worth checking. Some groups surf hard, some party hard and some just go all out every occasion possible, haha.

Next three weeks I will be in Chile with Untouched crew, trying to get some winter shots with Bine and Maček, so I probably will not be posting regularly, but make sure you follow the Untouched blog to see what goes down on the other side of the world…

It was rad as ever, cool crew, cool kids and banging surf conditions for a generally pretty average break. And with no lack of good skateparks nearby even downdays are rideable…

It was hot as hell all the time, no wetsuits for weeks, but who would complain over that one, hehe…

Also check more of Katja’s Surf-a-grams to stay in tune with the happening in Spain…

I will be posting the new series of Ujuclips tomorrow before the Untouched crew hits the road to Chile! It is going to be a blast for sure!

Zarautz has been pretty generous to us for the first month in the Ujusansa surf kemp, which is not common for summer months.

I will be posting the first Ujuclip for this season soon and meanwhile you can follow what goes on in our camp through the “Surf-a-gram” posted every few days…

It is funny how you film all sorts of shenanigans during the year and that is normally just a bag of throwaway footy, but sometimes it is exactly what you need… everything happens for a reason I guess, haha.

It brought a lot of memories back while I was editing… I wanna go surf!
