The Azores Atlantic surfers was always here, from years and years back, but it was a conversation between two friends, that made Marco Costa (with a little help from a pirate friend) put together a project that reflects the island life and pays tribute to all the Azorean local surf culture, mixing up photography, art and some good wine along the way.
Launched in 2020, during the quarantine and the COVID-19 pandemic, this project seeks to work with artists, photographers, filmmakers and surfers from across the globe, all of whom share the same outlook inspiration, love the Azores and the island life.
A self-taught photographer, a surfer, husband and a father, Marco captures the beauty, the light and the amazing blues and greens of the island. Living here for more than 20 years, and collecting snapshots and experiences, he knows most of the secrets of this enchanted place he calls home.
