Professional surfer Marco Giorgi brings us into his world, where surfing is an instinct which leads him away from conventional 9 to 5 life. Follow his series and get sucked into the beautiful world which he inhabits.
“Sometimes life gets weird, I feel divided, it depends on the day. Some days I hear a voice saying ‘‘go with your friends, do the whole QS Tour, do what everyone does and make some money, buy a car, a house, plan your future, socialise more, fight’.
Then there’s another voice which says, ‘‘Do what you love, spend your money as you like, search for waves and uncrowded places, keep your old little car, this doesn’t matter, think about now, this very moment and don’t leave things for later. Live as you will man, say what you feel and do what your heart asks… follow your instincts.’’
And when it was that time of the year where every professional surfer found their way to Hawaii, the second voice spoke louder in my head, and I didn’t go. Instead, I went to another direction and found myself in Europe, where I found much more than just cold… I found what makes me smile.”
