GOOD - CLEAN - FUN

Doing your bit doesn’t have to be a bore. Here’s our guide to giving back on a surf trip, sharing the stoke and leaving the beaches a little better off. Roberto D'Amico & Kepa Acero. #BeachFreely

THE ISLAND

THE ISLAND from Roberto D'amico

Chasing swell around the world is an integral part of Roby's life.
And although it is very rewarding it is not always that easy.
At the beginning of November I got a whattsup from Roby that said: "Africa is calling". Well, let's go to Morocco. It was not Morocco but it did not matter, 12 hours later I was in London with Roby and Nils ready for another adventure.
We arrived on the island but the swell we monitored did not have the right direction. The search began. With the help of some locals we found some funny waves but it was not what we were looking for. At the end of the first week we decided to stop and wait for the second swell to come.
We missed our flights but the waves did not arrive.
Between sessions and more than 1000 km driven we became an integral part of the Island's culture, visiting every single spot and living with what this beautiful location had to offer.
This was part of the journey and we found a way to spend time discovering things that we would never had the way to live directly.
We lost another flight and the third week the swell finally showed up. But when you want something too much the worst things can happen and that's how life goes.

Huge thanks to all the locals, you guys are special.

Scoring perfect barrels with no one around is still possible in Portugal.
Roberto D’Amico and Harry Timson got a call by the former CT surfer and friend Marlon Lipke to score some waves at his home breaks.
Hunting all day, studying currents and tides trying to be at the right place at the right time.
Enjoy WARM AND COLD WATER!

The Four Moors: a journey through Sardinia

Nixon | The Four Moors: a journey through Sardinia from NIXON Europe
Italy is not known for waves but there's always exceptions.

When a significant Mediterranean swell arised on the charts, Nixon longtime surfers Marlon Lipke and Gony Zubizarreta embarked on a plane to Sardinia, Italy, to join Roberto D'Amico for a 3-day surf mission.

Roberto D´Amico - 3000 KM

Roberto D´Amico - 3000 KM from MATTAshapes
Roberto D'Amico Featuring Leonardo Fioravanti having fun on the Mediterranean coast.

3000 Km it's all about 2 swells from different direction. The first one is filmed up North with Leo, the second one is down South.
The video really show you the vibes and culture Italy has to offer. It's hard to read swell charts, everything changes really quickly but once you are in the right place at the right time could be really fun, ENJOY!
