“… I recently conversed with Hawaii’s Mercedes Maidana (that assures me her home town in Argentina is squished between the Andes mountain range and the Atlantic Ocean. Not really a place big on wave’s) who shared her love of surfing the big stuff. Mercedes efforts have earned her back to back nominations as a finalist for the 2009, 2010 and 2011 Billabong XXL Awards in the Girls Overall Performance category.”Click here to read the whole interview

Hi everyone,
Here is a video we did in Chile this year. It is close to my heart because it shows in a more personal note my journey through surfing and big wave surfing. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed doing it. The video was done by chilean film maker Rodrigo Farias Moreno.
De Sol a Sol Capitulo 06 from Patagonia Chile on Vimeo.
In loving,
