National Surfcasting Championship
On the first week of October, Spille Beach took on an entirely different appearance than the one it normally has. The transformation was due to the National Surfcasting Championship, which saw approximately 20 fishermen lined up along the shore for its final round. This entertaining competitive event lasted the entire evening, beginning at 4 pm and concluding at 9 pm. While the winner of the Spille stage was Osman Zace, the winner of the Championship for 2018 after counting the total annual points was proclaimed Lorenzo Zako. Here, we share a few photos which illustrate the great – at once inclusive and intimate – atmosphere at this event.

Surfcasting is a specific fishing technique which entails standing on the shore while casting the fishing line into the surf. Because the fishermen remain static while fishing, the main challenge in surfcasting lies in effectively predicting the movements of both the waves and the fish. Here, too, perhaps more than in other fishing techniques, casting the line takes some serious skill! The fish is released again in the sea, since fishing here is only for sportive reasons.
