About The Duck Dive

In late 2020, COVID cancelled one of my dream surf trips in England. I was bummed and literally itching to surf. Like everyone else during lockdown, I picked up something random: writing about surfing. The Duck Dive #1 arrived in my friends' and family’s mailboxes, none of whom were really surfers.

The purpose of my newsletter was clear: to shoot my land-locked friends a dose of true surf culture.

Four years later, The Duck Dive has become an escape to the surfing world for everyone : from non-surfers feeling that there is something cool about the wave riding thing; to land-locked surfers with 3-months-dry wetsuits; to surf maniacs with salt-corroded eyes… 

So here’s what you can expect : stories about a surfer you should admire, personal takes on the treacherous nature of the sport, unrealistic surfing ambitions we nurture, the history of a spot you will dream of… and what not ?!

About me

I’m a land-locked surfer who writes about surfing to let off some steam.

I learned to surf when I was 10 years old - at a beach that’s usually flat as a lake or ravaged by winds. My best friend and I were fascinated by “the vision” we got from riding our first unbroken wave. We dissected the concept between each surf - spending hours breaking the feeling down, analysing it, drawing it…

Now, I write impulsively about surf topics that obsess me and occasionally send my writings. I write when I feel like it, and publish as quickly as that’s over. I’d love The Duck Dive to be a monthly newsletter that hits your inbox on 1st day of each month, with no grammar and spelling mistake… one day !

I’ve got a lot more emails coming; they might turn into a cool book one day…?

So stay in the loop by subscribing.
