The Avant/Garde Diaries: Michael Schmitz and The Zandmotor - Gone in 20 Years

Michael has realized his dream. He has become a pro surfer, something you wouldn’t probably expect to find in a country where most parts are below sea level. The Zandmotor is a building project to protect the land from the water. This “constructional master-piece” is truly unique as it has never been built in the world before. Furthermore it has another interesting effect that gains more and more attention in the surf community. The Zandmotor is the absolute best surf spot in Holland and probably one of the most unique places in Europe.
