JUDGES
ALBERTO CHIMENTI AKA KIME
“Pushing forward since ’88” is his motto, derived from the passion he turned into a profession: skateboarding. This background kickstarted his professional journey at the age of 15 when he first picked up a camera. “Until that moment,” he firmly believes, “nothing particularly interesting had happened worth telling.” Alberto immediately began collaborating with various entities in the industry, eventually establishing a partnership with Vans Italy in 2009, which continues to this day. In 2011, right after graduating in Communication Design, he juggled various collaborations with studios in Turin while delving deeper into his personal journey until 2012. That’s when he decided to pursue the path of a freelance director and videographer. In 2014, Alberto co-founded The Good Life Studio with Carlo Camorali and Patrick De Lorenzi, a production studio for “everything visual,” strictly based in Turin.
CLOVIS DONIZETTI
I am Clovis Donizetti from Biarritz in France.
I had the chance to grow up at cote des basques, the cradle of longboard in Europe and to early on decide that it was all I wanted to do!
After many years of witnessing the trends and tracing my own road, my approach to surfing these days is based on a cultural and artistic aspect. And most of all enjoying all type of style and craft as long as it is expressing something real.
THOMAS LODIN
Thomas’s attraction for photography has created a unique journey for him.
Combined with his passion for surfing, he has been able to travel the world meeting talented figures and capturing timeless moments.
A refined aesthetic combined with his interest in the history of surfing showcases his dedication to preserving the classic, honest, and pure essence of the sport.
His work is featured in brand campaigns and publications worldwide that likely evoke a sense of nostalgia, passion, and authenticity.
When not on the road, you can find him in Biarritz, France, driving his 1971 Simca station wagon with a classic board on the roof.
