BalanceNo palmtrees in The Netherlands. I guess this photograph shows really well what surfing North Sea waves means. Riding imperfect waves in mostly uninventing, challenging conditions. Either you love it, or you don't.

geometric lines that give it almost a graphic feel

waiting for waves under a moody blue sky

Summer in the Netherlands can be like this

clean little waves

it seems like an optical illusion

I took this photo in November

A calming view of the North Sea horizon during sunset

Such a useful photo technique to create artistic sea and surf art

But when you look closely you discover there's more going on in the background on the pier

A tiny ripple

Sometimes it is better not to resist but to let yourself be carried away

It rarely happens that the North Sea is warm enough to leave the wetsuit at home
