TEAM LEADER
The 47-year-old Swiss and Brazilian Daniel Krattinger has many years of experience in water and adventure sports such as mountain biking and paragliding. He learned snowboarding and skating from his father back in 1982. Windsurfing and sailing were added in 1989, and in 2016 he embarked on a solo journey, sailing from the North Sea in Germany to Africa and then to Brazil, mainly in the Amazon. He started kitesurfing in 1997, but surfing, which began in 1991, became his favorite sport and was decisive in his move to Nazaré in 2023 to catch the biggest wave of his life.

Katarina Patek Ghidirmic
Born and raised in Bratislava, Slovakia,
I graduated from a business academy and began studying interior design at a university in London. From an early age, I've been interested in wildlife, nature, and sports photography. Later, I worked for Canon, where I bought my first camera and started traveling to Africa to photograph wildlife, which convinced me to travel more. I started working for myself to have freedom and focused on creating designs for various brands. In 2021, I visited Nazaré for the first time and fell in love with this beautiful little town and big-wave surfing, which I didn't even know existed in such extreme conditions and with such massive waves. Watching from the cliff surfers on the waves and seeing what the human body and determination of a surfer can achieve was incredible for me. This convinced me to learn more about the surf world and videography in general.
