Morocco – The search for empty waves continues!

joeie — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 18:33:39 +0000

Taghazoute – The last two weeks I hooked up with Jord Fortmann & Bruce Boelens. I know both guys from surfing at my local break Scheveningen. Also on a rare occassion we teamed up giving surflessons every now and then. After we hooked up we decided to escape the crowds and look for some surfspots down south. We scored some really good waves at a local beachbreak and after a small week, we headed up north. Down there the boys showed me a secret surfspot. Its a long way from the road so the crowds are low! I shot some great photos with these boys and we ended up having a blast for the past two weeks!

thanks guys!

The Saharan Desert

joeie — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 17:36:55 +0000

Yesterday I returned from the Saharan Desert near Marzouga. Next to the visit of chefchouene this visit was one of highlights of my moroccan trip. It is pretty incredible to see so much sand everywhere around you. During daytime the temperature was 20 – 25 degrees and during nighttime arround 0 – 5 degrees. At night the skies were truely clear for viewing so many stars. In all this was one good adventurous trip through the Saharan desert.

At the time being I arrived in Tamraght near Agadir. Im going back to surfing and the forecasts look good. I will team up with some moroccan surfers but also with Jord Fortman & Bruce Boelens to do some nice trips. We will keep u posted!

Down here are some photos that I found worth uploading and sharing. Feel free to comment & critique me.

The Beautiful culture of Morocco – Fes

joeie — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 18:05:34 +0000

Today I walked through the Medina of Fes. Fes is one of the four imperial cities. I must say, some find it beautifull but I don’t. Once you walk through the gate of the medina all you will find is what you will see at a souk (market) in any other city: Souvenirs, Faux guides and lots of other things you dont want. Despite that I made some photo’s but wanted after a few hours all I wanted was to sit on my bedroom. Lucky me I’ve meet some great people from spain that I’ve meet a day earlier in Chefchouene. I hooked up with them and walked outside the medina and had some lunch with them. Thanks for making my day!

The beautifull Culture of Morocco – Chefchouene

joeie — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 17:31:27 +0000

Well postprocessing goes a bit faster when you travel alone and discover free wifi from your bedroom! Today I did some photography in Chefchouene. Its a to big to call it a village but it’s not so populair with tourists during winter. It should become known to travelphotographers because the location is great to make some nice photos! The light wasn’t that great since it was mostly overcasted. I made the best out of it so enjoy the photos.

Oh and for those that dont understand why i called it the blue city of morocco, you will find youre answer in the photos!

Chefchaouene, the blue city of Morocco…

joeie — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 19:04:19 +0000

Today I arrived in Chefchaouene, a little city that is about 3 hours north of Fes. I left Essaouira at 06:45 and got on the train in Marrakesh at 11:00AM. Arround 18:30 I arrived in Fes with a little bit of hassle. The following days the weather should be bright & sunny in Chefchouene. Since it is such a nice place to take photos I decided to stay in Fes after I visited Chefchouene. After a few hours in the city I can see it truely is a nice place up in the mountains!

Expect photos somewhere beginning next week!

The beautifull culture of Morocco – Essaouira

joeie — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 15:57:45 +0000

Well I am about to pack my bags and head up towards Casablanca or East towards Marakesh. Gonna have a look at the weather forecast before I decide where to go. Its not that I’m afraid of rain but I need some good light to shoot some great photos. The sunlight in Essaouira was great during the day. I shoot over a 50 quality photos that looked pretty wicked! Well, judge for yourselfs. Comments & Critques are more then welcome!

Happy Newyear & upcoming plans in Morocco

joeie — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 16:39:06 +0000

Happy Newyear all!

Our Newyear wasnt that special. We hit the sack arround 01.30 so we could get up early for a dawn patrol. We got up a bit late but still scored perfect Anchor point with 4-6th waveheight. I splitted the peak with Bruce Boelens & Jord Fortmann and a few others. Around nine o’clock it started to get crowded so we got back in.

On the 2nd of January Waveheight was suprisingly small. We ended up at Devils rock with waves between 2-3ft. Perfect for longboarding so Jord & I decided to do a waterphotography shoot. We got some pretty good photos and later on I shot from land as well. Thanks Jord for the cooperation & the fun we had in and out of the water! Jord is a really cool and stoked guy to work with. Later this month we will do some more shooting & try to work out some other ideas.

Well, thats it for now. The upcoming two weeks I will be doing some more cultural stuff in the north of Morocco. I will be visiting Essaouira, Marrakesh, Casablanca, Rabat, Meknes & Fez. After that I will hook up with Jord & Bruce. I also tried to hook up with some Moroccan surfers. Got some nice contacts allready but we will see what will happen. To be continued!
