Surf's up!
Surfing brings us in direct contact with the natural world. We become attuned to the ebb and flow of tides, the patterns of the wind, and the movement of waves. This connection fosters a deep understanding and respect for the ocean's rhythms and ecosystems. Surfing immerses us in wild, untamed environments. The feeling of riding a wave brings a sense of freedom and adventure that few other activities can match.

Platteklip Gorge
Located in Table Mountain, South Africa. The mountain itself has withstood six million years of erosion and hosts the richest floral kingdom on earth, with more than 1.470 species. More than 70% of all the plants found on the mountain are endemic, meaning they are not found anywhere else.

Carina Nebula
One of the magical images produced from the James Webb space telescope; The Carina Nebula is an immense cloud of gas and dust where a maelstrom of star birth and death is taking place. The nebula is located an estimated 7,500 light-years away in the southern constellation Carina the Keel (part of the older, larger southern constellation Argo Navis, the ship of Jason and the Argonauts) and contains at least a dozen brilliant stars that are roughly estimated to be at least 50 to 100 times the mass of our Sun. This image captures the edge of a nearby, young, star-forming region called NGC 3324.
