Wisdom w/ Surf Explorer Kepa Acero | “Never travel with more than you can carry in two hands.”

 

Want to travel like a pro? Then listen up to Basque explorer/surfer Kepa Acero. He’s back with more tips for scoring solo waves and being accepted by the locals.

 

Sample:

Never travel with more than you can carry in two hands. I travel with a backpack and three boards. My quiver is designed with enough volume to paddle into waves when it is solid, but my smallest board is usually 5’6″, very versatile, small, and wide. It is very difficult to break a surfboard of those characteristics, and it is worthwhile to bring so you can have fun while you wait for the swell.

"Go looking for a fascinating human experience. When I had the romantic idea to look for waves around the world alone, what I really wanted was a fascinating human experience that transcended my understanding of other cultures and human relations."- Some wise words from @kepaacero, who has spent years traveling the world alone.
