Meet the illustrator
Hi ! I'm Florian
Florian is a professional designer & illustrator and a passionate holiday surfer since 2013.
He knows all the struggles of learning surfers, as he is able to surf and get coaching only for a couple of weeks each year. This makes it a real challenge, to achieve a consistent learning curve.
To help solve that problem, over the years he has developed a visual format for illustrating surf techniques, maneuvers and strategies. This has not only enabled him to document his progress and learnings, but also to analyze his sessions and figure out ways to improve.
