Kepa Acero is one of the most special person I have ever met.
Not just a talented surfer, traveler and self video maker, he is a true adventurer and a better friend.
At this just moment he is in Antartica trying to surf and is founding new landscapes and friends.
He is traveling with two Pukas “La Lola” surfboards hand painted for him by his beloved nephews. On one of then you can read something like: “Uncle Kepa, wherever you go, there we are with you. And never forget to come back home”.
That’s the same feeling I’m having right now. Do not forget to come back and delight us with your living passion and stories.WHEREVER YOU GO, THERE WE ARE WITH YOU.
Kepa is a true surfer and a very good friend.

Kepa Acero doesn’t just make our dreams come true with solo trips and naked surf seshs. He is capable to make his two nephews´ dreams come true too by bringing them to Olatu, the Pukas surfboard factory, and letting them draw anything they wanted over his latest surfboards.
