What Would You Do For A Wave Like This?

Let’s play a game!

Good waves, they happen all over the world. This week the whole east coast of Australia will be pumping, next week, who knows. The thing is though, many of the world’s best waves — because of how remote, inaccessible, or cold they may be — are rarely if ever explored. 

So with this widely accepted knowledge, surfers are forced to answer the following question on a daily basis: What am I willing to do for good waves? 

Will you travel hours by plane, days by boat, and pay a sherpa 50 shekels to schlep your shit across the Siberian Shelf all for some tasty tubes? Or will you, like Timmy Reyes and Jake Kelley, head slightly northward and find your own slice of beach-break heaven? 

Will you even get out of bed?

For waves like these, your probably should.
