TIME IS RUNNING OUT
It‘s getting hotter and also dirtier on our planet. Currently the Great Pacific Garbage Patch covers an area of 20 million square kilometers (2019). Because of all the pollution of the ocean caused by trash and waste waters, the ocean becomes dirtier and more toxic every day. Besides of disastrous effects for the environment this also affects surfers. In cities like L.A. people can not go surfing after it had rained because there are too many chemicals and other toxic elements in the ocean which were washed from the dry land (fabrics, city and so on.). If we continue to pollute our environment the way we do now, surfing will be a sports with high-hazard or maybe not even possible at all in the future.

The other side
This drawing was inspired by the photo of the Year 2015 taken at the Hungarian-Serbian border. It shows that sometimes everything that separates people is a barbed wire and some people were just unlucky to be born on the ´wrong” side of it.
