Hi I´m Oli.

​

I am an ISA Surf Instructor and Photographer from Regensburg, Germany.

​

 My first time to try surfing was in 2014 for about 2 weeks in Bali and it changed my life. A few months after, I left Germany behind and moved to Bali to follow my new passion. There I found myself in the water, surfing every day for the next 1.5 years till I made my ISA Surf Instructor training and met my better half Elaine. Because she is from the Philippines I moved there, to an island called Siargao. A breathtaking island with beautiful nature and world class waves like Cloud 9. 

​

Elaine has her own surf business called Surfista Travels. And while she was teaching her students how to surf I found myself more and more in the water taking photos of the students and surfers. I then also started to analyse the photos to help the progress of the students and share my photos with the local surfers.

​

Because of this, I discovered my passion for Photography, especially shooting surfers from the water.
