"My board creased eight times, we got exploded on the sandbar, the current was so strong, the sand was so shallow, the playfield was huge, but in the end it was worth it," Parker Coffin said.

“I think these are some of the craziest waves I’ve ever seen in my life,” said Stab High Virginia Beach judge, Parker Coffin.

Somewhere, 40 hours away from Santa Barbara by aeroplane, lies a random sandbar that you may or may not have seen in a Dylan Graves clip roughly one year ago. This is where Parker and Coffin chose to venture for Surfline and Monster’s new spin-off series, Every Day Somewhere — the Better Call Saul to Maps To Nowhere’s Breaking Bad.

The pitch? Monster gives a few of their surfers two weeks, a healthy travel budget, and access to all of Surfline’s best technology and analysts to track down the finest possible surf around the globe.

Pick your coordinates.

Like all surf trips, it took a dozen false starts and swell alarms before Conner and Parker chose this particular locale. And much like that famed Maps to Nowhere episode with Caity/Timo Simmers and Soli Bailey, the crew had to deal with a disappointing first surf check (and a locked rental car) before they were greeted with glory.

But even then, the wave proved tricky. “It was so hard to make it to the bottom of the wave,” Parker said. “We were just getting blasted in to the sand and we really had to work for it, but when they lined up it made it all worth it. Working for it makes it feel sweeter anyway.”

All in all, it’s a solid opening episode for Monster x Surfline’s new venture. We’re also happy to see Parker and Conner — who admitted this is their first surf trip together in far too long (Conner has a wife, kid, boat, and mortgage) — back on a fraternal project again.

Where we heading next?
