Maxime Huscenot, The host with the most, Reunion Island

Y’know Maxime? He’s a Reunion Island local who knows how to show visiting pals a good time. During the Red Bull x Stab x Surfing trip to Reunion, Maxime helped out Jordy Smith and Julian Wilson (the latter of whom he knows from Jules’ Quiksilver days) with everything from “swell forecasts, surf spots, places to eat, jetskis, nightlife, the works,” says Ryan Miller. “Dude rips and has been so welcoming with us being here.”

Hospitality can turn a good trip into a great one, real easy.

Ryan Miller

Ryan Miller, 33 years old, does not know how to write a bad email. Your pals at Stab have learnt to live vicariously through Miller’s red wine-fuelled letters from the road. His travels take him to some dreamy locales and, in those places, he scores all-time photos: “My favourite photo I’ve shot was of Benny Bourgeois in the Caribbean, with a fisheye. Often I just take photos, but rarely do I get to make one.” In an age of tail-highs and released fins, Ryan still most likes to shoot someone who can lay-down a big backside turn. Namely: Jordy Smith, Dane Reynolds, Gabe Kling, Kekoa Bacalso, Damien Hobgood and Peter Mendia. Like most photogs, Miller misses Scott Aichner’s work. But, as far as contemporary inspiration? “Trying to see things through my daughter’s eyes. It’s wild to think about someone experiencing something totally new on almost a daily basis when, as adults, we rarely get to experience something truly new.”
