"Exploration is the physical expression of the Intellectual Passion. And I tell you, if you have the desire for knowledge and the power to give it physical expression, go out and explore.... If you march your Winter Journeys you will have your reward, so long as all you want is a penguin's egg."
Apsley Cherry-Garrard, Writer and Arctic Explorer.
At Arbitragis, we are exploring the last frontier of finance, the ineffiency that nobody has ever spotted, that's our penguin's egg. We put into place all the intellectual tools that are available, as well as the latest existing technology, in order to uncover these eggs...

2004 - 2005 : The Endless Summer |
Kitesurfer

I decided to recreate the kitesurfing version of the movie "The Endless Summer". I went kitesurfing, following the summer and heading to southern beaches as the winter arrived, in order to kitesurf the day away. Destinations included : Australia, Fidji, New Zealand, Western Sahara. The aim was to discover the most remote beach where it kitesurfing conditions were ideal. | |
