Cliffjumping / Surfing: The Avant/Garde Diaries – Orlando Duque & Maya Gabeira – Open the Door (Clip)
Schönes Portrait der Avant/Garede Diaries (facebook) über den aus Kolumbien kommenden Cliff-Jumper Orlando Duquem (37), der eigenen Aussagen zufolge immer ins Wasser gesprungen ist, wenn sich ihm irgendeine Möglichkeit dazu auftat. Außerdem vorgestellt wird die brasilianischen Big-Wave Surferin Maya Gabeira (25), der ersten Frau, die es ins große, von Männern dominierte Big-Wave-Surfing-Biz schaffte. Interessante Charaktere und schöne Bilder – all it takes:
„Jumping from cliffs comes natural to Orlando Duque. The 37-year-old has mastered the sport to perfection. Somebody, who impressed him the most, is record holding big wave surfer Maya Gabeira. The 25-year-old Brazilian was one of the very first women to break into the guys club of big wave surfing. Even today there are still too few girls in the sport – that requires quite some guts – to have a real girls championship.“
