Road captain
Endika
The competitor. Water is his natural element, and his eternal smile is always with him, no matter how strong the tide may be.
Home peaks
Local beaches
The beach near my house is special. Rain or shine, we get wet just like everyone else.
A short drive
Close spots
Boards on the roof
Surfari
When your beaches calls for a break, you realize that the world is very small—you can easily get to almost any spot.
The crew
Team
They're stoked. They grew up barefoot, playing along the shore, and no one can keep them from the ocean now.
Tube hunter
Joseba
Tough as a rock—not a day goes by without him finding a reason to get in the water. Happy paddling, happy surfing, happy swimming... A tireless seeker of the perfect tube.
Heavy water
Xabier
The athlete who gives it his all in every single set. Every wave knows it will be ridden by him, and he knows he will ride every wave he sets his mind to.
Sand reader
Markel
The analyst. He only goes into the water when conditions are perfect, so he can execute his perfect surf. Don't mess with him—surfing is a very serious business.

The ones who started it
Old school
Without them, there's no paradise. The ones who introduced surfing to the family in the late '90s and haven't stopped riding waves since.
The pioneer
Iñaki
The surfing pioneer within the family, introduced the sport to the family in the late 90s. He inherited a passion for the sea and sports from his father and has passed it on to his children through surfing.
The driving force
Jagoba
A tireless driving force during those early years of family surfing, no one has put in more hours teaching their children to surf—starting by holding their hands, moving on to pushing their boards, and ultimately watching them lift trophies.
From the sand
The emeritus surfers
The throne from the shore. Those who watch, support, and—with or without a wetsuit—remain part of the team. On the board, everyone paddles alongside them.
Shore lookout
Amoma
unflappable lookout from the shore, number-one fan at championships, primary caretaker on rainy afternoons on the sand.
Old salt
Aitite
an old salt—with or without a wetsuit—wary even of the smallest waves when his grandchildren are involved.
