Hola NOMB Surfers!

 

My name is Melly and I am from Lanzarote. 

A magical island made of beautiful volcanic sceneries, known for our great people and perfect waves.

I started surfing when I was 17 years old and from then this sport, that started as a hobby, has become my lifestyle.

I am a surfcoach and I love it! I enjoy every moment of my job because luckily my job is my passion.

 

Un saludo and I hope to see you soon in Lanzarotes waters.

Melly

Great news for the upcoming surfcoaching trip ´Irish Infusión´: professional chef Basti Peters is once more joining the NOMB Surf adventures! Last year Basti already spoiled the NOMB surfers with his healthy powerfood, giving them enough energy to brave the cold Irish waters. Basti has just confirmed his participation in just another epic surftrip. This is what breakfast looked like last year.. hmmh.. jummy!!

 

 

Since the trip to Ireland in November last year Basti has dedicated himself to find the perfect mix of vegetarian and meat based cuisine for extrem sports people, like the NOMB Surfers. A perfect nutrition for extreme athlets like surfers contains 5 meals a day: a powerful breakfast, a lunch full of proteins and a healthy dinner that refills all your batteries, plus two snacks in between.

 

Breakfast should be full of fast carbonhydrates such as oats, dried fruits and natural sugars. This mix will kickstart your body after sleeping and get you ready for the first surfsession. A great snack just before, or after a long surfsession, is a handfull of dried fruits, maybe a mix of almonds and raisins. That way you are providing your body with fast and slow carbonhydrates, ideal before a surf sesssion and even better after to restore the used muscles.

Lunch is often overlooked, while this is the meal that keeps our body going throughout the day. A lunch packed with proteins (both animal or vegetable proteins will do) and fast carbonhydrates will make sure that your engines keep running. As everyone has their very own preference for lunch we leave this meal up to our surfers to decide. Some prefer to cook, others prefer to check out one of the Little irish coffee places. We do daily supermarket stops so our participants can stock up on supplies if needed.

A family style dinner rounds up an epic day full of surfing and discoveries. Dinner can vary, sometimes containing only veggies and meat, sometimes also fast carbonhydrates such as pasta or rice. The importance of a balanced sport diet is to follow a varied died. Never give your body the chance to get used to the same menu. Challenge your  body by changing the rhythm of fast and slow carbonhydrates, not giving him any time to adopt and start getting ´lazy´in absorbing the food´s energy. If you wanna learn more about how to fuel and prepare your body for the demanding hours of surfing check out the book ´Body fuel´ by Mark Watson.

 

We are delighted that Basti will join us on the ´Irish Infusion 2017´ and can´t wait to dig into his delicious food. One of the great things about a NOMB Surfcoaching trip is that even though we are like a mobile surfschool, we still provide our guests with everything you can dream of in a surfcamp. With the extra bonus that our locations change, so you won´t ever get bored of surfing with a NOMB Surf adventure.

 

 

Apart from the NOMB Surftrip ´Irish Infusioon´in 2017 we will also run ´Lanzarote Legacy´and ´Charging Chile´ in 2018. And always keep an eye on our website for more trips to be announced 😉

Any questions or enquiries, get in touch and we will find the perfect surftrip for you!

Cu in the water soon! Your NOMB Surf team

Aloha Dudes and Duderinas!

I’m Julez from Munich! A passionate surfer of rivers, oceans and concrete, working as a physiotherapist with disabled kids and youngsters.

Julez

I’m 27 years old now and got stoked on surfing about 6 years from now in Chile where I met “Clubchefin” Angie and her chief staff member Rainbow. They turned out to be the best companions on every imaginable kind of adventure and, of course, best friends!

On this years’ early summer trip, for the first time, I’m going to join NOMB as the kitchen/barbecue chef to help the whole crew stay strong for long paddles, fun sessions and all the challenges this trip may include…
… And of course also to enjoy some nice warm dish of local ingredients with a good glass of wine or can of beer on the evening sun lit patio of our cosy holiday home.

I’m looking forward to meet ya, stay stoked!

Julez.

Aloha!

Let me introduce myself, I´m Rainbow. I am a proud mix of any sort of dog you can find in chilean towns and coastlines.

The day I was born someone threw me into the cold pacific ocean, and I would have not survived if my best friend on this planet, Angie, had not found me and raised me as part of the Ritoque Raices family. That´s me, two days old.

I grew up on a beautiful beach called Playa Ritoque. Sanddunes, loads of birds and a forest to discover. I have always travelled a lot with Angie in her VW Kombi, until one day she put me on a plane to discover a whole new world out there. Ever since then we have been exploring new beaches and countrysides. What a life! That´s me wavechecking in the Basque Country. Can you believe it??

Rainbow

I looove joining Angie on her surfcoaching adventures, there are always so many nice people who surf with her. I hope you are not allergic to me, I promise I will behave and protect you! See you soon on the road, love Rainbow

Ps: I also loooooove doggy treats 😉

Hola!

My name is Sharon, I am a Yoga instructor and a passionate surfer.

Sharon

Years ago, while searching for the connection with my inner self, I discovered Yoga as a discipline and way of life to heal myself and be in balance with myself and my surroundings.

Surfing perfectly complets this way of life as surfing too works the balance of our mind, body and soul. Surfing let´s us be one with nature and this way we understand our true essence.

Looking forward to share some Yoga and Surf sessions with you.

Hi. My name is Basti.

 

I am the one to get along with on your NOMB Surftrip to Ireland. Why? The answer is easy: I’m responsible for your food 🙂

Basti

After spending some years (too many) at university I decided to become a chef. Coming from the dry land around Essen, Germany my love for the ocean took me to the isle of Sylt for nine years. Two xears ago I realized that older people need a warmer climate. so I packed my stuff and moved to Fuerteventura. Ireland will be my first trip back to cold water. Brrrrrrrrr!!!

Be nice to me and you won’t go to bed hungry.

See you in Ireland. Basti

P.s.  I promise to find the best local pub for you!!
