We’re sure you can remember Amber van Elk. The series “Show me something natural” with her made big waves. Therefore we are delighted to have another exclusive story with her, this time photographed by Wouter Struyf. Furthermore we wanted to know more about the natural beauty and asked her a few quick questions.
“An hour drive and no wave in sight. Another disappointing day in the life of a land locked Belgian so-called surfer. Just until an instagram message popped up. We had never met in person but had been in touch a couple of times. Fifteen minutes later Amber arrived by tram and what was a dull weekday became a fun afternoon in the sun on the Belgian coast with orange umbrella’s, watermelons and a lot of laughing.” Wouter Struyf
