Caity Simmers: Raw, Unseen Footage From Maps To Nowhere

Maps to Nowhere: Chasing Seconds has kinda stopped the clock as far as crazy right-hand tuberiding goes in 2024. That’s all it took: Caity and Timo Simmers and Soli Bailey, all by themselves, and a sandbar warping into the middle distance, getting better by the day.
But there’s always a heap of clips we can’t keep in an episode, so here we go with Caity’s B-Sides from the black sand insanity.
This is a simple string-out of the best stuff you haven’t yet seen from the sessions. It’s fascinating to watch, as Caity’s surfing visibly changes to fit both the wave and her own evolving sense of what’s required. She starts out charging, but catching nose rails in the wave base. Then a day and a half later, she’s controlling speed in the tube, smoothly fading into tube stalls and graceful exits. If you want to understand how quickly a person can grow as a surfer, this is a great way to start.
“The best part of this trip was just getting barrelled, just being in the barrel,” Caity said. “”It was just what you dream of on a surf trip. You are surfing perfect waves all day and you’re just so tired and depleted, but you kind of have to go back out. Like there was a couple points where I literally could barely move - I think I said in one of the interviews, we were testing the human body to see how how far it could go, ’cause I was so tired. Getting to surf perfect waves all day and eating peanut butter sandwiches on the beach and then going and surfing more.”

I have to say, and that is a fact, that Caity is the most talented woman surfer ever. Not many surfers, men or women, would pull half the barrels she did on this trip. The fact that she gets more excited doing this than winning comps says a lot about her mindset. And her style is so naturally elegant and functional, sort of like Slater when he came up on the scene, nothing too flashy or hyper stylish(à la Ethan Ewing or Steph Gilmore) but just smooth and no hickups whatsoever. Mesmerizing to watch. A round of applause to miss Simmers!

That wave starting with a subtle fade at 3:25 is insane. So talented🤙

[@michaelj8793]

To think that she almost bailed out from the trip upon arrival then having one of her best sessions ever was simply amazing Thanks for sharing as always Be well and God Bless 👍🤙

[@davegladstone4151]

You absolutely know that you had a great surf trip when the cutting room floor is covered in 9.5 to 10-point tube rides.... I would be more than happy to have had even one of those completed tube ride waves that were cut from Caity's part in the trip video; and with a couple of them, I would have certainly put the trip down as one of my best ever surf trips.... Totally stoked for crew on this surf adventure journey (old skool adventure) ...and a special thanks for sharing, not only the best of the best, but also the 'didn't make the cut list' of EPIC waves and rides as well. Peace

[@mykeyoh1536]

driving and WEAVING for an extended length of time inside heaving barrels over and over again. and those take offs... Happy to say this one of the most radical videos I've seen in a very long time. Talk about busting down the doors... 👏👏👍👍🤙🤙😳😳🍻🍻😎😎

[@willmiddleton9199]

I have watched the Maps to Nowhere episode and it is just mind blowing on all fronts. This is just icing on the cake. My appreciation for what Caity does here..... no words, just go do it some more ! Fantastic stuff !

[@bwhit716]

I’d rank Caity at the top of women's surfing no matter who wins Pipe..…precision late drops, speed, performance in the barrel, full rail cutbacks, everything !

[@IndexFossilchannel]

Right now she is one the best in the World, imagine this girl in 5 years. She improves each session , with each event... Crazy that Caity still has the potential to grow even more!🙌🙌
