NO PLAN
We had no real plan before we arrived in Iceland, there was no focus to our exploration. Just an abstract yearning to experience a place neither of us had been to but both of us had dreamt of.
From this chaotic outset we quickly found ourselves focused on our journey which would eventually see us circumnavigate the island. After every surf we quickly got back on the road and would drive for several hours at a time. We were pulled on a string around the outer edge of Iceland, driven forward not by the promise of waves but a more primal sense of adventure. In a land of towering fjords, dramatic headlands and constant sunlight it is, quite simply, incredibly difficult to stop, to not drive and see what lies around the next corner.

The French band Phoenix are singing in their song “Telefono“ and express pretty exactly what crosses my mind, when I am thinking about Italy today. My parents used to travel to Italy with me, when my brother and I were kids every summer so probably that helped to lay the foundation for my weakness for the “La dolce vita“. Several years later I am still romancing over the beauty and diversity this country offers and try to capture them in my pictures.
To me, one of the best things about surfing is the fact, that it leads you to places where you wouldn’t have been to without it. Incredible wildlife, deserted streets, endless desolate beaches, charming shops you had not entered if you wouldn’t have needed surf wax again. This time the journey led us first to South Africa and later also to Namibia. Two countries, which doubtless offer some of the best waves in the world, but in my view so much more.
The movie “Circle of the Sun“ takes you on an almost surreal journey to Norway. It describes one Circle of the sun. One day of magic. Steep mountains,the ocean, the sun and the aurora borealis.
The first thing to explain about surfing in Mallorca is that we have wind-swell based waves. The island wasn’t traditionally known for surfing and the community only really started in the late ‘80s with a handful of people.
We are a group of women who share a passion for the outdoors, adventure and art. With Waves and Ice we do not only want to show our stories but also inspire other women to follow their passions, even if it seems that the area their passions lie in are mostly male dominated.
