This Is a Stunning Portrait of Logging in the Netherlands | The Inertia

With the proper arsenal, one can maximize the North Sea"s hidden potential.

The end of summer is near. And that means one thing – the North Sea is delivering consistent, clean conditions! Yes the low lands, Holland or The Netherlands. A lot of people think that we don’t get waves, but when the stars align, we get some of the goods. But besides the exceptional days we do one thing, and one thing only – ride logs!

Alexander Alders is the perfect example of the logging way of life. He started studying furniture design and through the process of building usable objects, he discovered his passion for hand shaping surfboards.

Alexander recently travelled to Bali and after three weeks of wandering trough the jungle and riding shortboards he ended up at Deus’ Temple of Enthusiasm where he met legendary shaper Rich Pavel. Together they shaped the log that Alex rides here – milking small but pristine conditions in the North Sea.
