  • This content was produced in partnership with Seiko Prospex - Every surfer, irrespective of their home coast, seeks an intimate relationship with the distinctive setups that define their wave region. Whether some combination of sandbar and jetty, rock pile and headland, or a dynamic twist in the coast that might both obstruct the prevailing winds and invite imminent swell, these amalgamations of aren’t to be taken for granted. Indeed, for surfers, they’re magical formulas.
    But for surf photographer Elli Thor Magnusson, the wave-rich Westfjord region of his native Iceland presents a different beast altogether. Magnusson spends his summers traversing the dynamic topography around the coast, framing up dynamic landscapes photos, while weighing swell potential among each fjord--where a considerable (and seemingly bipolar) diversity of microclimates exist.

    Just like Indonesia, only colder.

  • @russellszabadosaka5-pindin849

    "Immaculate Icicle Waves" sound awesome. The cold is much better for you in the long run, and it offers something hot weather doesn't: the opportunity to make a fire and warm yourself. You can't create an air conditioner out of wood & kindling.

      @@MindSurf248 I am aware of the changes in the climate. I believe the earth goes through these changes on its own for the most part. We should be more respectful of the planet ,no doubt. I believe the changes we are seeing are created with the geoengineering programs(aerosol injection program). The elite that sold us the war on terror and war on drugs are selling us the war on climate change. Your heart is in the right place, but I think were being lied to about whats really goin on.
