Saskia is warm and exudes a super feminine, yet punk rock kind of energy – which she carries around the world and into her photos. One of her recent projects is “Light Waves” – an exhibition at Deus gallery in Bali and Byron Bay Surf Festival in Australia. She was also the woman behind the Yak Magazine photoshoot with Circus De Soleil Artist Julia for Makara wear swimsuits.
In the middle of road trips between New Zealand and Byron Bay, we caught up with this powerhouse today and asked her a couple of questions.
Traveling is always a good idea. Traveling and surfing is an even better one. At the end of December I went to Nusa Lembongan island. White sand beaches, steep cliffs, turquoise water, silky and clear ocean floor… Life is beautiful!
This exotic island has 3 surf breaks: Playgrounds (pretty mellow waves, good for long and short boards, right and left, on a big day – it will barrel). Lacerations (medium waves, pretty fast right). Shipwrecks (the word wreck gives it away. It’s the most intense of them all. Fast right and strong rip current combo! BAMM!)
They’re all reef breaks. You can paddle out to Playgrounds and Lacerations, but on a big day – for Shipwrecks you need a boat, because regardless of your new year’s resolutions of getting fit – paddling through waves with the intensity of a herd of charging bulls, is a tad bit hairy.
We are so grateful that she found a minute for us, because she is a busy bee – running between Indonesian islands, photo-shooting surfers.
Makara Wear is proud to sponsor such a powerful woman. You go girl!
