People

They live
by the ocean

Surfers, skippers, artisan fishermen, shapers, divers, marine scientists. People whose entire lives revolve around the sea — and who transmit. Portraits arriving progressively.

Surfer

Allan R.

Siargao, Philippines

Twenty-four years on the same waves. He knows every sandbank, every season, every way the swell changes with the north wind.

Portrait — shaper Coming soon
Shaper

Marco R.

Siargao, Philippines

Thirty years making boards by hand. No CNC, no digital template. A blank, some planers, and knowledge passed on by his father.

Scientist

Sofia M.

Azores, Portugal

Freediver and marine biologist. She knows the Azores seabed like no one else — the currents, the species, the seasons that bring the sperm whales through.

Portrait — skipper Coming soon
Skipper

Luca V.

Split, Croatia

He has been sailing the Adriatic since the age of twelve. He reads the wind the way others read a map — with a confidence acquired over thousands of miles.
