    “This short movie has been shot in the Maldives, North Male Atoll, during the Manta Rays Season. Since this trip freediving has became a true passion, the sensation of going down without bottle, just lungs, and going a bit deeper everyday to extend my personal frontier, it’s an amazing feeling. In this movie I was about 15 meters deep.”

    “Newly weaned harbor seal pups make use of my old windsurf board. I mounted a remote GoPro camera and these posers seemed to know exactly where to perform! It had rained that morning and the slip n’ slide ensued.”

    So the rules were that the team won that caught the largest number of (intact) water balloons. One girl managed to catch 4 balloons, several kids caught 2 or 1, and most of them got wet. The kid standing is our youngest son choosing to stand on the non-business end of the catapult, the girl in red our younger daughter taking a break from coaching. The adult loading the catapult is Eyðun Húsgarð, chairman of Tórshavn Swim Club and member of the Faroese Swimming Association board.
