Comments

During the year 2010, Kepa Acero will venture on a never before experienced journey: around the globe in search of a world class wave in each of the 5 continents.

These 5 ocean jewels are equal to the eight thousand metre peaks in mountaineering.

After a long investigation, Kepa will attempt to reach these world class waves, passing through asiatic tropical jungles, freezing african waters, the australian outback and dry American land, finishing the long crossing in his home country: surfing the mythical Mundaka left hander.

The adventurous surfer knows the exact location of the breaks; what he still doesn''t know is how he is going to get to each of them, which for Kepa is the most interesting part of the trip. It is not only based on the quality of the breaks, but the capacity to overcome all the challenges, struggles and risks that he will find along the way. The human factor will be very important in this project.

Each time Kepa manages the ultimate reward of having surfed breaks in epic conditions, his objective will be complete and he will continue on to his next destination. And so on so on, recording all his experiences in his retina as well as his cameras.

You can follow this adventure on his webside from May to September 2010. www.kepa-acero.com
