Alex Gray, Telos-pop musik (track two), Indonesia

If this isn’t a romantic-looking righthander, Stab doesn’t know what is. Alex Gray, pictured here gripping a slob, is in the Telos with Yadin Nicol, Zeke Lau, Andrew Doheny, Dusty Payne, and photog Tom Carey, who’s documenting the whole beautiful mess.

“We’re staying at the most ROOTS place ever,” says Tom of their current digs. Surfing Village, it’s called, and so far the crew have been treated to just what the website promises: “Vertical drops, maximum acceleration, critical maneuvers, adrenaline, ecstasy and pain!” (Surfing Village’s words, not Tom’s).

All those things suit Alex her real well, actually. The man gets his kicks in pretty much anything – as Tom says: “Alex is one of the most well rounded surfers out there. From 60 feet to two feet. Not that many guys can do both so well.” Need further proof? Go here.
