Concrete waves of Basque (part 1): Orio gem

It has been a very busy month at Ujusansa surf camp for me… filming, searching, surfing on daily basis! There is always something going on, so you quickly forget about internet, TV and shaving, haha.

But skateboarding is something that never goes off my mind, especially in a land where every single beach is hiding at least some sort of miniramp, if not a proper bowl or skateplaza.

This gem of a miniramp is in nearby Orio, a small pirate-looking town, circa 15 minutes away. At first it looks like it is hardly rideable as it is steep as hell, yet once you drop in is like riding on a wave. Sick!

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!

Eat my dirt!

My friends at Mountainboard Slovenia started to build a mountainboard track under our local hill. There is a cool short video on their site to get a clue whats up.

I have to many hobbies and to little time already, but this looked so much like snowboarding, I just knew this is it, haha. We have been improving and shredding the course for the past month and it just gets sicker and longer every week. Its a perfect starting point and the crew is super cool there, so don not hesitate to drop by if you are in need of some summer freeride stoke!

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!

Skateboarding my ass off!


I have been skateboarding for around ten years, give or take, and it has been a way of life and mentality ever since.

Past month I got to skate almost every day and hang with my longtime friends which sadly does not happen often enough. Lots of riding and lots of beers went down while these two seem to mix very well, haha.

Some photos from Kanin

It was last day on last opened resort in Slovenia, Kanin Mt., so winter is officially over (if someone did not notice a month ago haha).







However it is always nice to spend some quality time in the mountains! Uroš and Agi went for the big kicker while Andraž, George and me had some fun on small corner jib… It is supposedly skate & surf season from now on, but you never know…

Trashin` through Easter


After all the holiday feasting and sleeping I also found some time to go hill bombing. My friend Luka Šmid and I have been riding it for fun since we started to skate almost ten years ago and we both have some nice scars to prove it, haha.

This time we went searching for some new tracks… I know it sounds funny but not every bump with asphalt works. There are all kinds of characteristics a perfect hill has to have… steepness has to be just right… as little traffic as possible.. it has to have good and wide road which is not usual for Slovenian countryside… and so on. We spotted some new stuff and got some easy rides although the weather was just not on our side for both days. Moody April weather sux!

Seeing rabbits in Finland

No its not drugs! Actually its kinda hard to get even a beer here at times, while they have the same alcohol law as in Slovenia. No beer after 21h, which sucks when you are working till 22h, haha. But there are real rabbits running around in the middle of the streets and owls chilling in the trees as you were in the middle of the woods! Crazy but so cool…

Me and Seppi were planing this filming trip for the whole season and while we had little luck in Poland, we went a bit more safe this time… to freezing cold Finland! They still have a lot of snow, if you step a half meter of the path you get knee deep in slushy white. Seppi also invited Gerald Fuchs and Rudi Janda so its a nice group of very motivated people. We got some shots the first day already and tommorow we get some more company, Russian rail killer Denis Leontyev and two photogs, so its looking really good! Stay tuned for more in the upcoming days…

Widen your experience

Many of my friends are really into kiteboarding and its actually a very versatile sport. You can hit any surface from dirt to water to snow so its never boring.

I went to film the first takes for a short commercial for Mountainboardshop.eu which is a cool little project with no real deadline yet. Basically it was just relaxed fun day out with friends while trying to get a hold of the dynamics of the sport they love.

Soelden part 2.

Shooting freeride is what I love the most, probably cause anything pretty much looks great when you get loads of fresh snow, hehe.
Qparks sent Untouched crew in Soelden and it turned out to be the radest place for freeriding. Like everywhere in Alps the whole mountain could really use some hard snowfall but there was some fresh pow nontheless. We got a guide/photographer Rudi Wyhlidal, who knows this place like his own pocket and makes super great photos.
The first day the whole mountain was in a cloud so Bine, Matevž and I just checked the place out and got pumped for the second day. We woke up into a bluebird skies and it was on! We hit the gullies for breakfast, got some pow turns and then moved upper the glacier. We were looking for a nice spot to build a kicker but the snow conditions just didn`t allow big jumps while the rocks were somewhere just inches bellow the surface. But there are some really nice spots we would gladly return to…
Rudi showed us some fun pillows and smaller lines and even I got some turns in between shoots which just made my day.
Next day we were so motivated that we went back first thing in the morning and shoot some more stuff before the Freestyle Feast begun. Guys went chillin, I went filming and after such good start everything falls into place by itself… Enjoy the video!
