The idea

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 !





La idea de la
After Abi Mission (Misión Después del Abi) nació hace 3 años.

Mi amigo Felipe y yo, Florian, dos quinzea
ñeros ambicionados, queríamos viajar por el mundo en busca de olas perfectas.

En el 2008 volví de un viaje al norte de Perú, en el que cogi la ola segunda más larga del mundo: Chicama ... le conte a mi amigo Philip historias sobre dos minutos en la misma ola ... "Vamos a cogerla después de graduarnos"

En el sistema escolar alemán el título de graduacion se llama "Abitur": Así nacio el After Abi Mission.

En noviembre del 2011, los meses para acabar nuestro bachillerato estaban contados. Nos encontramos, juntos con mi amigo Denis en casa, en Tenerife, para realizar la idea ... Con gran iniciativa no duró mas de 2 semanas y sacamos nuestros primeros billetes, primero a Malaysia y luego a Australia, ya que los encontramos por un tercio del precio habitual, aún con nuestro gran objetivo de ir a Perú después.

En busca
de billetes baratos durante un mes todas las tardes , finalmente los encontramos a través del Pacífico, de Indonesia, via Bangkok (escala de 24h jeje) a Los Ángeles para luego ir a Miami y finalmente llegar a Guayaquil en Ecuador, a sólo 3 horas de las olas perfectas al norte del Perú ...
Asi es
cómo el surftrip a Perú se convirtió en un viaje alrededor de todo el mundo a traves de los 5 continentes en ocho meses continúando desde Perú direccion sur hasta Chile y Argentina, y luego a Sudáfrica, para volver a casa via Quatar y Barcelona la primera semana de Abril..

Viviendo
sueños !

living Melbourne

Robin in the city


Melbourne was truly the best city we came to see in Australia. There was heaps of culture and things to do; Beautiful !

Flinders Street Station

Lazy morning cuddle with Franci
The street, our home

David (2nd from left), received us at his house for a few nights. He helped us with everything. We were allowed to use his house at all times,

... and so we did ...

... spend an entire day with the gals on the couch.

after so much travelling in the car all the time, a couch potato day is very appreciated  !
First night at Davids house...
Melbournes streets, take a look
