Details

From an early age, the French native Gaspard Konrad was fascinated by the beauty of the ocean and surfing. Passionate about surf photography, he started to collect imagery before Social Media was born. Sharing them one day on Instagram resulted in hundreds of thousands of @surf_porn followers.

Gaspard dedicated his life to the environment by founding WeFix, a fast-growing company specializing in repairing smart devices. He is also an active member of the Blue Collective by Surfrider Foundation.
