Andi Spies is a seasoned journalist with more than 25 years of experience covering action, outdoor, and board sports.

He is the founder of the content studio TEXTKOMMISSARIAT and the publisher of BLUE Surf & Travel Magazine, where he combines journalistic craftsmanship with a strong sense for storytelling, culture, and the people behind the sports. Over the years, he has written extensively for ispo.com, contributing in-depth stories, interviews, and industry insights that helped shape the platform’s editorial voice and relevance within the global sports and outdoor scene.

A lifelong outdoor enthusiast and early snowboarder, Andi feels just as at home in the mountains as he does by the ocean. When winter fades, he happily trades his snowboard for a surfboard or mountain bike, always in search of the next story, adventure, or line worth telling.
