Martín Passeri is 42 years old and goes surfing twice a day, every day, just like when he was 17. He trains 15-year-olds and sometimes he is more eager to get into the water than the students; that passion for surfing, the discipline and the awareness of his goal, took him further than life had in store for him.

He is married, a father of two, and moving forward with an impeccable career. He says he feels the passage of time but he doesn't stop. He talks about that and a few other things in this episode 1 of the DUKE podcast.

The victory at the Mancora QS in 2010 is the one the Argentinean chooses as his favourite. This is how it appears today on the WSL website.

The short fiction that caused a tremendous impact and also a lot of problems for Martín.
