Lofoten Masters 2020
My first trip to Lofoten Islands in Norway, where I was part of the media team at Lofoten Masters - worlds most Northern surf competition. I helped with setting up the live streaming equipment and filmed drone video during the competition for the online stream. Also I edited the two short daily videos immediately at the end of the day.
During my stay I also photographed life on the beach, surfers, empty waves and the beautiful Unstad village with its amazing scenery. Had fun and many good laughs...

Folkboat Finnish Championship 2020
The first day at the Nordic Folkboat Finnish Championship started in heavy sea mist. Practical visibility was less than 200 meters, so first time ever I had to start by driving my RIB to the organizers (NJK) harbour and ask where the boats are. Luckily one Race Committee motor boat with Pata and Robbie happened to be there so the first photo is taken when I'm following them to the Folkboat fleet which is moving together with the start boat out to the race area. After noon the heaviest sea mist vanishes...
