Be Water My Friend

2015 Aug

For over a decade now, Nixon have played host to an annual trip with ten of the best European surfers, in a bid to discover fresh terrain to surf, without the pressures of the public or the press.

This year saw the crew visit Hainan, the beating heart of China’s rapidly expanding surf industry.

Desillusion presents an alternative view point of this years contest.
