Epic boattrip, rockin‘ d blue moon!

Oh man, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow folks, I find it hard to put into words what’s in my heart, adrenalin stores and memory…   The reason for my incredible stokedness was the boattrip last weekend to the Abrolhos Islands that I’ve been privileged to be part of and which turned out to become one of the most epic wave-adventures [...]
