Hi, I'm Robin Muller!

My name is Robin Muller and I was born and raised in Switzerland. I've always been an adventurer with a lifelong passion for exploration. Growing up, my family's travels instilled in me a deep love for adventure, which only grew bigger as I did. Navigating the structured environment of school proved challenging due to my ADHD and dyslexia. I knew I was capable of much more. After leaving school, I pursued a career in landscaping and gardening. I worked hard, saved some money, rebuilt my van, and left to travel Europe.The opportunity to capture my travels with my camera, meet new people and connect with different cultures has made me grow and learn a lot. And on this journey, Portugal is the most important location. Nazaré is where my dream to become a big wave surfer started and the town making my dreams come true.

Even though it’s still surfing, this sport is a bit different and more extreme than the traditional practice. Surfers must ride a wave which is at least 6 metres high. Tow-in surf allows surfers to get on bigger waves by being towed using a jet ski.Even with all security measures, this type of surfing can be terribly dangerous. Things can go wrong, from getting caught in the impact zone, getting smashed by wave after wave and held down by the force of the wave, to potential collisions with other surfers or the tow vehicle. It requires a high level of skill, experience, and knowledge of the ocean to navigate these challenges safely. It's always important to prioritize safety and be aware of the risks involved.

I started small—just a dream, a board, and a burning drive. Over time, I’ve been building it up, training hard every day, and giving this journey everything I’ve got. It’s been a wild ride since I first arrived in Nazaré a couple winters ago, a place that’s become my second home during the season. I’ve learned just as much from the cliffs as I have from the waves.With limited resources, I’ve had to hustle for every opportunity. But every session in the water brings me one step closer to mastering this sport. The rush of riding massive waves pushes me forward, each challenge only fuels my passion to grow, improve, and keep charging.This is just the beginning.
I can’t wait to see where the next swell takes me.
