Thank you for this. I lived in Lebanon as a young teenager. I began surfing when I moved away. I’m now 42 and often think about what the surf is like there.
I am lucky enough to occasionally spend time on the beach with Kepa, he is a real gentleman and always gives off a great vibe. Thanks Surfers Journal for sharing.
I loved this, it was a window to the other side of the world and a brief introduction to the people and waves there. It felt like I was on the trip with them. Thank you
Awesome would be that your country would stop slaughtering thousands of children. I do hope that you can see beyond the indoctrination Israelis have been brought up with
Imagining a world without borders no conflict sharing waves with our brothers and sisters everywhere as surfers this is an easy concept but for the rest of humanity it’s too difficult the destructive force of materialism has humanity imprisoned but we as surfers remain balanced because we know the true joy that nature has created for our souls. The ocean is our Mother and the Sun is our light
What a beautiful planet we live on. So full of surprises. Never knew these places even held waves, let alone beautiful head high sweeping rights. Ready for part 2. Great video.
Fantastic piece here. Surfing destinations many wouldn't consider in existence. Some really good surf as well. More importantly, the story of this man seeking the peace found in surfing that we all know of, there's nothing like it on this earth. In an uproarious world, this man displays what so many should learn of. Well done. C A
So nice to see such a simple loving surfing movie 🎥 In Lebanon where I stayed and discovered some of those waves. 🌊 🎉 Besos de Mexico to all the surfers in the film who are friends and acquaintances 🤠 Loved it… Can’t wait to see the rest cause there is more waves to check out in Beirut, Jounie, Batroun, Tripoli & more 🤙🏽 So chiiiiill Great Movie 🎦 Great souvenirs 🥹
Kepa tu eres para mi lo que representa el espíritu del surf . Me recuerdas mis aventuras como marinero por el mundo siempre llevando una tabla a mi lado y conociendo gente, lugares, costumbres, comidas y claro...olas. Que Dios te ilumine siempre mi hermano, tu buena vibra y actitud siempre te dejarán las puertas abiertas por donde paséis.
Beautiful film,so refreshing to see a different side of this amazing but deeply troubled region.lf its ok to ignore Indonesias shocking actions in West Papua&East Timor &support its booming surf tourism then this positive little film has its right in the sun.
Beautiful film! I hope peace comes to the people suffering the unimaginable in Lebanon and Palestine right now and that we can visit their countries again one day.
Soy Puertorriqueño de sangre Vasca. Solamente un Vasco tiene el corazón y el coraje de explorar olas en un territorio tan algarete. Eneko, te he visto en las revistas de surf desde que eras un niño y cuando surfiastes con Brad Gerlach. Tu rubio comiendo pan con café, como nosotros hacíamos, pal desayuno. Que afable eres.
If people only knew about this feeling..this joy...freedom... It’s Not about differences..instead Similarities. 👊. Peace WITHIN... out side is just absence of war....PEACE IS A FEELING... like food ..would you eat a picture ? 😂
Let surfers run countries. Notice in history- they started no wars, built no empires, never shot or imprisoned those who liked -different breaks ….. etc. ☮️✌️🤙😊
great film. It should be remembered that there is a war going on, Lebanon is being attacked by Israel and many people are dying. RIP Libaneses people suffering/dying in this war.
Do you live there? Let me tell you truth. Extreme terror organisation HIZBHALLA rules Lebanon and that is why the poor civilians suffer. Free Lebanon from HIZBHALLA
Hasbulla hiding itself next to Lebanese civilians is the same tactic that the Palestinians are using and let me tell you if women were in control of those countries nobody would be dying.
Recordo me do Kepa puto de cabelo rapado e com o mundo às costas pois era o próximo Kelly. A versão de hoje é muito mais Surf , ainda bem que correram mal os campeonatos. És uma pessoa muito madura e segura e feliz com toda a certeza. O oposto do puto que me cruzei nos campeonatos!! Quem diria! .
Thank you for this. I lived in Lebanon as a young teenager.
I began surfing when I moved away.
I’m now 42 and often think about what the surf is like there.
Wow! Thank you for this. If ever there was time we needed to see the simple and pure humanity of the Lebanese community it is now.
Arcadia beach is in israel
@@IdanZ-x6y Apologies there were some mixed scenes. Thanks for the correction.
Many peace loving Lebanese hate hezbollah and support the IDF fully
@@IdanZ-x6y stolen land
@@Tjinguru You were right, all the scenes are from the south of Lebanon! Nothing to do with Arcadia beach in Tel Aviv.
I am lucky enough to occasionally spend time on the beach with Kepa, he is a real gentleman and always gives off a great vibe. Thanks Surfers Journal for sharing.
Its gems like this video that remind me how good the internet can be when you find the right stuff. Thank you
Only surfing will bring peace to this region. This is truley amazing. Aloha from Israel
Theres peace on the region only without Isr..ael but you can say Aloha from Palestina 🇵🇸🤙🏽
yes, beautiful comment. Israelis are so full of love. The privilige to write such a banal comment while your country massacres thousands of children
I've missed Kepa, thanks for having him on here. His purity of spirit is undeniable.
Thank you for keeping our eyes and minds open, TSJ.
You said all...regards
That's proper nice. A timely and touching story of connection. Thanks TSJ, people of Lebanon, Kepa and Marc🙏
Wonderful, great to see TSJ covering these locations. Looking forward to seeing more from Marc.
I loved this, it was a window to the other side of the world and a brief introduction to the people and waves there. It felt like I was on the trip with them. Thank you
Such a great vibe in Jiyeh! Stay strong you beautiful people of Lebanon!
Estos son los videos que merecen la pena. Me dejo flotando
I'm from Israel. This is awesome
Who cares if you are from a genocidal colony. Is this surf places awesome for your people to steal using American weapons paid by American taxpayer?
right on brotha, try to put in a good word when you can
@@KillTuco its real estate for those guys
Awesome would be that your country would stop slaughtering thousands of children. I do hope that you can see beyond the indoctrination Israelis have been brought up with

Muito bom
Parabéns
Wow 😮amazing
Didn’t know Lebanon’s waves were so good
Increíble, no más!
Let’s see more!
Good video,
Thanks for sharing this thread
Great vid. That left point reminds me of La Bocana in El Salvador. Makes East Coast US look even worse, considering how fickle these breaks must be.
That water spout at 2:55
Excellent
Muy bueno!
Mediterranean Waves are treasures because of their Rarity Conditions🌊
Grande Kepa.
6:16 bro please location?
Gràcies.
Keep ripping and stay safe 🤙
Awesome. I don't get how only 4% of the viewers reach for the like button though.
Solidarity to the people of Lebanon.
If people only knew about this feeling..this joy...freedom...

Yo tambien cierro los ojos y veo las holas
Eskerrik asko Kepa!
💯💯💯💯
peace & love from Israel
yeah sure .

great film. It should be remembered that there is a war going on, Lebanon is being attacked by Israel and many people are dying. RIP Libaneses people suffering/dying in this war.
Small matter of Israeli Jewish hostages though Karl?
Do you live there?
Let me tell you truth.
Extreme terror organisation HIZBHALLA rules Lebanon and that is why the poor civilians suffer. Free Lebanon from HIZBHALLA
They are attacking Hezbollah who are occupying Lebanon...Hezbollah attacked first then hide behind innocents like the Hamas cowards
Ok Karl....
Hasbulla hiding itself next to Lebanese civilians is the same tactic that the Palestinians are using and let me tell you if women were in control of those countries nobody would be dying.
I would surf that first wave very happily
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Im assuming North Africa is as sharky as the rest of Africa?
Recordo me do Kepa puto de cabelo rapado e com o mundo às costas pois era o próximo Kelly.
A versão de hoje é muito mais Surf , ainda bem que correram mal os campeonatos.
És uma pessoa muito madura e segura e feliz com toda a certeza.
O oposto do puto que me cruzei nos campeonatos!!
Quem diria! .
❤
So sad to think that life is so hard over there now..
👍
Dion from Temu
😀
Nothing better than 🚬 Hash on a beach... Right?
IF it'll be a peace in Gaza and the place will be based on tourism instead of war you should be come up over tasting the winter waves there
Free Palestine!
Nice.......🌊🏄🔥💪👊
