“In June of 2014, we spent 11 days surfing the Mentawai Islands. The conditions were perfect the entire trip with light offshore winds and plenty of swell to go around. I was able to capture some pretty interesting angles using Phyllis (name of my drone). Enjoy the highlights of our trip and experience the beauty of the Islands from above. The Bird”
Looks like a surfers dream to me… and one hell of a Niit5 location.

Discussing the message of his new film, John Lynch states,
“It’s about how meeting fellow travelers can open up your world. I hope this movie encourages others to get off the tourist trail, throw away their itineraries, and get involved with something out of their comfort zone; stepping in to make a difference is much more rewarding than just being an observant tourist.”
On a personal level, he found satisfaction in the fact that he “did not just find a story to tell, but lived a story worth telling.”

Good find Jim – thanks for the share.

“Chuck Patterson is a former pro Freeskier, a professional Waterman, and one of the most fearless humans we’ve ever met. After a brief experiment with skiing on waves several years ago, Chuck’s passion for the idea was re-lit after watching Mike Douglas and Cody Townsend ski the waves of Maui in 2009. In January 2011, Chuck followed the biggest swell of the year to Maui, to see if he could see if he could successfully ski Pe’ahi or ‘Jaws’ — one of the most powerful waves on earth”

Switch surfing and wave jumping… can’t wait to do this off a wake behind a boat one day.
The swell of the century just rolled through Hawaii … Bo was there.
These little portable and permanent surfing machines are gaining in popularity.
I want one.
It’s always good to keep up on what is going on in sport.
