A Boat Trip Into the Unknown - And a Perfect Right Pointbreak

“We’re chasing something that I’ve never seen before.” It’s raining, you climb on board a boat, and it takes you into the middle of nowhere. At night. Soli Bailey’s done a lot of Maps trips, but never one quite like this - to a surf zone only recently opened to any kind of access, let alone to a bunch of frothing surfers. Early next morning, after battling a couple of very big fish, the crew arrive off an island that looks weirdly unlike any you’ve seen - like a cold land in tropical warm water. Explorer Matt knows there’s at least one wave here, but suspects there might be many more, rookie superstar Sophie McCullough isn’t quite sure what’s going on till she sees the first wave, and Ian Crane’s just stoked to be on a boat trip. “It’s the best way to go surfing,” he claims. But is it? Watch and find out.

Beautiful, thank you for sharing. I used to get so jealous watching things like this when I was young and poor. Now that I'm old and poor, I appreciate that someone gets to do this, and am grateful for the opportunity to enjoy such adventures vicariously. Thank you.

[@rodrigoavelino6904]

Every episode of this series makes me daydream about doing something like this one day!! Fav surf series ever!!

[@peterchopping1712]

I think it is funny that their idea of "fun waves" is pumping glassy 6 foot barrels that go for 100 mts. which would be the waves of our lives for us mere mortals.

This comment!

[@Leolionandhazelnut]

Ian Crane is the man. His stoke level is what I aim for. Stoked on everything!

[@michaelj8793]

Great content! My only issue with this series is I wish each episode was longer, love it. Thank you O’Neill and Surfline

[@1bonzer4ss20]

Surfed there on a sailboat trip, in 81. Stayed five days and it pumped for four of them. Didn’t want to leave. But, I wasn’t the captain. Thank you, for not revealing the location.

[@aveenvp]

Props for being so meticulous with keeping it discrete, even blurring out the local beer cans. Let's keep these places empty and magical

[@scottallan6770]

So many days on a tiny boat, it must have felt like a prison. Pretty apt!

Such a great series!

[@Surfline]

Episode 3 is the best by far. Check back here May 11th.

[@cliquenoir]

Love the series...adventure, stories, stoke. And def fun to try to sleuth out where these spots are located in the world. This particular one was, surprisingly, not too difficult. 🤐

[@Surfline]

Wait till you see Episode 3 on May 11th. Your mind will be blown.

Pretty well known area for those who live not too far away from it. Soon to be a popular surf destination, since it is no longer forbidden. It has been on surf movies from the country in which it is.
