Meet Bobby

Quick shoot between surf sessions on the peak


Boogieboarder and Surfer 🌊

Let me tell you a bit about Bobby,
he is a 12-year old Boogieboarder and Surfer from São Tomé and Príncipe living in the vibrant community of Santana, where adventure awaits at every turn. 🇸🇹

Bobby is very special to me! Despite the language barrier (him speaking Portuguese and me speaking English), we were very quickly able to connect on a deeper level with each other, it felt like he was a little brother to me. We started hanging out in front of our house with other kids, picking fruits and goofing around. We went on a journey filled with joy, laughter, and epic waves! 🏄🏾‍♂️


 
 

 

His personality is an absolute riot!

At times, he tries to play it tough, but deep down, he's a gentle soul, always ready for a hug and exciting adventures, be it catching waves or simply enjoying the sun at Ondas Divinas together.

What do I love about him? His ever-changing expressions still reveal his true essence through those mesmerising eyes. Capturing moments with Bobby is an absolute blast! Every click of the camera shows a part of his vibrant personality, making the experience so uniquely enjoyable.

What I miss the most ? Those carefree days of devouring jackfruit, sipping from coconuts, and crafting sand turtles by the shore. 🐢

I hope through these visuals and the story of our friendship you can get to know him a little better and see what makes him truly one-of-a-kind.
