Masters of the elements

There is a reason why every year in the same time thousends of people head out to the seashore wherever they can find one. There is a sort of magic to be found out in the open, on the horizon, on the thin borderline which divides the sea from the skies. If there is a place where the ancient human dream about flying, da Vinchis designs, and the old greek legend of Icarus came close to becomming reality this would be it. Some call it extreme sports, but I dont see anything extreme about it. Au contraire, what I see is an elegance and movement which goes far beyond the one which you can find in any balet or dance of any kind. That and the ultimate freedom in which one can interract and virtually merge with the elements, with the wind and the vawes.

La Tranche sur mer on the atlantic coast of France is one of the famous spots and terget for surfers of all sorts. Some of them are really mastering the elements to the grate extent, to the highest humanly possible extent. Here is how they’re doing their thing!
