This project has carried out deep research which covers the set of issues regarding surf photography.

from the result of their merger, surf photography. It has been achieved thanks to a combination of a
long-term investigation into the topic, through online articles, video blogs, and books, followed by
useful contributions from well-known photographers, to be able to acquire this knowledge

five Spanish locations. Speaking of which, it has meant the challenge to create from scratch its proper
graphic design, without never having worked in anything in this area
