The idea of the After Abi Mission was born 3 years ago.
My friend Philip and me, Florian, two ambitionated 15 year old, wanted to travel the world looking for perfect waves.
In 2008 I came back from a trip to Northern Peru, where I surfed the 2nd longest wave in the world: Chicama...I told my friend Philip storys abouth two minute rides on the same wave... "We will surf it after we graduate from school"
In the German school system the graduational title is called "Abitur": So the "After Abi Mission" was born.
In November 2011 the months to get our Abitur were counted. We sat down together with my friend Denis at my place in Tenerife to realize the idea... With great iniciative it did not last 2 weeks and we got our first tickets to Malaysia and Australia, as we found them for a third of the usual price, still with our great objective to go to Peru afterwards.
Looking for 1 months every afternoon for tickets to get there, we finally got cheap ones across the Pacific, from Indonesia, over Bangkok, Los Angeles and Miami to Guayaquil in Ecuador, just 3 hours to the perfect Surfspots in Northern Peru...Thats how the surftrip to Peru turned into a voyage around the World over 5 continents in 8 months continuing from Peru south to Chile and Argentina, and finally to South Africa, returning home via Quatar and Barcelona in April...
Living dreams !
