The Essence of Surfing

O Gota D’Água SurfCamp has really been a key player as a client of GAFFVisuals. All the content is made with the STAFF as protagonists, and they do it with a lot of love for their passion for surfing and for what their brand represents. Being for a younger audience, the scripts tend to be taken with a comical or irreverent attitude, along the lines of skater lifestyle (for example, as in this previous video, in which they surfed the streets of Lisbon). After a five-year partnership, we finally wanted to take a more emotional approach. In reality, this is a soft-hearted team, who miss their guests the most and are, above all, passionate about their profession.

We heard that they were going to do an activity with Cercima, an Education, Rehabilitation, Training and Inclusion Cooperative in Montijo. It was therefore an opportunity to cover this fantastic moment. The initial idea was just to immortalize this day so that the participants could record these memories, but the story ended up being told differently. Surfing is a different sport, open to interpretation, associated with a complete lifestyle and not just an activity. That’s why this moment with Cercima didn’t serve to tell the story of the day, but rather what surfing is to Gota D’Água and the secret of their dedication to this sport.
