Lorenz

Discover the secrets of the Navajo

Lorenz has been our personal connection with the Navajo Nation since 2005. We are lucky to count this fourth-generation Medicine Man as a friend and guide to our Monument Valley experience, with unique access to secluded sites and unfiltered, shared spiritual moments.

True to his culture, you can't "buy" smiles from Lorenz. But you will feel the warmth of a sincere welcome, according to Navajo's hospitality tradition.

Titus Nihi Kinimaka

Surf with a living legend

Titus, a brother from another mother to our CEO Felix (with whom he has traveled and surfed on many continents), is a living legend with the humility of an everyday man.

He has mastered most of the giant waves around the world. But in Kauai, the gem island of Hawaii, he rules on the North Shore. At his base of Hanalei Bay, Titus will "baptize" first-time surfers and give them the passion for the board, or take them via wave runner to feel the impact of the biggest rolls.

Titus has no age. Maybe is he immortal...
