Why are you Ästhetiker: i guess its a reason of style and enjoyment of life

Inspiration: under water where thoughts can breathe easily, far away you were born in the sea, just like me

Message: the more you live the less you die ...

Best Story to tell: my idea of life is to spend as many days as possible on the beach surfing. living close to the ocean and it´s neverending rhythm gives me a peace of mind that i haven´t discovered anywhere else in life so far. During my almost fifteen years of camp experience i have come across many people with different preferences and styles...eventhough not all of them stuck with surfing i could see the catalytic effect the ocean had on many of them. By spending time in the water, away from the everyday´s worries and routine, many of them could get in touch with their inner selves, thus finding about more about who they are and what their way is in this life. The effect of surfing and the lifestyle involved with surfing brings up many good ideas, brings people together ( no matter of where they come from and what their background is) and often leads to long term friendships... and  i enjoy being part of this and seeing how things develop in all different directions ...For being awarded with waves everyday i have to make sacrifices, sometimes massive ones, but  on a long term basis, it´s the ONLY way i can see for myself. otherwise i would be making sacrifices in a place i don t want to be for a life i wouldn´t enjoy ... and that would definitely be worse. In life, there are paths you can only walk alone. there is no place for someonelse to walk next to you cause they are too narrow.
 Even if noone understands why you have choosen this "narrow" path you will keep walking it with a smile. Loads of people using the beaten track are able to walk next to each other... which is sometimes more pleasant. That is each individual´s own choice. me i´d  rather live 20 exciting years full of adventures and surprise than live 100 years without the highs ( and also the lows) i´m going through....but now i´m off...for the mid-tide session in  .... 
what ever ! waves, no waves, work or school, day or night, path or highway .... it doesn t really matter ...it´s all good ... And always remember: do not belive everything you read and DON´T LET ANYONE LOOK INTO YOUR CARDS...
