Description

"Flow describes the feeling of a blissful mental state of complete absorption in an activity that happens as if by itself." Join us on an adventurous road trip to the best surf spots in Europe along the Atlantic coast, which is also a trip in search of the soul of surfing in which you will meet and get to know unique and exceptional people from all over the world. With this illustrated book of authentic portrait photographs and very personal, sometimes touching, sometimes crazy stories, the artist couple shows a variety of motivations and lifestyles, far away from palm trees, beach bars and other clichs. As different as their protagonists and their stories are, they all have one thing in common: the desire and longing for the sea, the wind, and the waves - in search of adrenalin and freedom. The book is an inspiring and emotional journey for the search of one's own "flow".
