Myles Carroll’s latest clip, Now Here, showcases his best footage from last year in Western Australia. The front-of-lens stars include Kael Walsh, Jay Davies, Taj Burrow, Jacob Willcox, Felix Leaver, Josh Cattlin, Max Leaver, Jack Thomas, and Jack Challis. A cast as solid as concrete.

Evidently, Western Australia is a breeding ground for gifted surfers. The rawness of the waves has a direct correlation with the freakish talent level. The take-offs are steep, the lips are thick, and the foam ball is never far behind. You need to be dialed in to get clips like these. Any hesitation at all, and you’re decimated.

Normally, Hawaii is known as surfing’s “proving grounds”, but I disagree with that sentiment. West Oz has a wildcard factor, a hint of spice sprinkled along its coastlines.
