Professional RVCA Surfer and globalLaPointCamps Ambassador, Marlon Lipke, bridges the divide between a business owner and professional athlete while carrying his message on how to care for the fragile state of Portugal's most beloved locations.

“I would like to show how you can travel and how we can be more involved. To make sure these beautiful places we go, don’t get destroyed.”

- Marlon Lipke
