ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The hollow beach break and fast tubes make La Graviere (France) to be one of the best and most famous surf spots in Europe. This year, the remnants of Lorenzo hurricane - Category 5 system and the easternmost hurricane ever measured at this strength in the Atlantic Ocean- were strong during the 2019 World Surf League championship, although soon they would track quickly through France's swell window. Waves those days were heavy, disordered and at times seemed to be a maze for the competitors whenever they tried to surf them.
Canon 70D, f/5.6, 1/1600 secs, ISO-250, 300mm.

AUTHOR
Amateur photographer since 2005. Started taking pictures just because my parents bought me a small camera for my birthday, I liked it and decided to learn the basic principles of photography.

I'm a Spanish born scientist/engineer and I work in the UK University since 2006. I do travel frequently to Africa as I do collaborate with a charity, this gives me the opportunity to merge with the locals and get to know their traditions and ways of living. It also makes me appreciate certain social injustice situations that I try to reflect in my photos and share with whoever wants to hear about them.

Big fan of water sports, I also document surf and Kitesurf championships.
