The Story of the surfers dream.
Somewhere in a small little fishing village located high up north in Iceland is living a passionate surfer called Jan. As a graphic design student he passionately works on his projects and is slaving away his time to pursue a career as a graphic designer. It looks like he’s following he’s dreams. It looks like he’s working hard to make his dreams become reality. In reality he’s dreaming of a crazy surf session in hardcore waves with huge barrels draining over a perfect coral reef somewhere in the tropics.
A part of his dream can bee seen outside the window, where perfect waves roll down a cold freezing pointbreak.
As he’s looking outside the waves only get better, so he decides to go out!

He call’s up his friend:
Hey Its pumping, i haven’t seen waves like this in 5 years.
We have to go, lets go!
Walking outside true frozen landscape the snowfall only gets worse, but the waves…
They got better and better, and with not even one surfer out there. 
He’s running towards the rocks, eager to jump in an catch his first wave.
While he’s already in riding waves his friend arrives, seeing me catching the best waves entering the bay sinds a very long time.
He’s friend paddle’s out in to the freezing water. Right at the time couple of huge set waves enter the bay.
At that moment Jan is racing down a vertical wall of the wave with full speed, he enters a huge cave of a tube.
A few moments later they were sitting together in the water, talking enthusiastically about the thrilling wave.
After the surfsession Jan and his friend stroll back home through the snow-covered landscape.
Suddenly Jan wakes up, saddly enough to realize it was all a dream…
