Surf’s Up in Fuerteventura with the Ultimate Surf Companion:

As a photographer, I am always excited to work with clients who have a passion for their product and a clear vision for how they want it to be portrayed. That’s exactly what I found in Marie Lebourgeois, the French designer behind the brand: Carry My Surf – the new surfboard carrying bag.

Marie’s bag, crafted from recycled marine plastics, not only makes it easier for surfers to walk to the beach hands-free, but also has a strong commitment to sustainability. As a surfer herself, she wanted to create a product that not only met a need in the surfing community, but also had a positive impact on the environment and help clean up the oceans.

When Marie approached my team (Andy Cannon and Silvia Beck (Silvia’s Work) and I to help with her crowdfunding campaign, we were thrilled to be a part of bringing her vision to life. We traveled from our base on the Canary Island of Tenerife to Fuerteventura and together with Marie scouted out multiple locations to showcase the bag’s versatility and durability.

The photoshoot was fantastic and Marie was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was hands-on in the creative process and brought with her some fantastic models and talented friends and all who were fully invested in her vision. We captured everything from action shots of the bag in use on the beach to lifestyle shots of it being worn around town.

We also shot a crowdfunding video to showcase the bag, Marie’s ethos behind the bag and its features. The video was an integral part of the campaign and helped Marie’s crowdfunding efforts to be a huge success.

It’s always a great feeling to see a client’s hard work pay off and Marie’s bag is now available for purchase and is quickly becoming a favorite among surfers everywhere. We were thrilled to help Marie to turn her vision into reality, and we can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.

Thanks for following our adventure and don’t forget to check out the bag for yourself!
