EARLY MORNINGS IN BALEAL

When the forecast looks most promising at 05:00 o’clock what do you do? You go surf. At least Hugo did.

Walking down to the beach at 05:30 on a Sunday morning, people were still partying since the night before. It was cold, windy dark and a loud thumping beat mostly consisting of a bass sound (think sarcastic German techno) in the air. Hugo however had no interest in having a drink or joining the party. He, with his board under his arm was heading out to sea.

Filming Hugo turned out to be a difficult task. Mainly because it was pitch black outside. Finding the right camera settings, and simply FINDING him through the viewfinder seemed impossible. However the sun slowly made its way through the misty clouds and I got to witness Hugo enjoying some stormy surf, all to himself
