Islands of the People
Here is another trip we did to a far off locale for Red Bull’s Chasing the Shot series. This was the third trip I did for the installment and it was, without a doubt, the most remote. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: The question isn’t whether or not there are still flawless empty lineups in the world. The question is simply how far are you willing to go to reach them?
Surfers: Josh Mulcoy, Noah Cohen, Pete Devries, Noah Wegrich.
Placement: While this was a project initially intended for Red Bull, they ditched it due to an internal conflict of interest. Luckily, Surfer picked it up and you can see the feature HERE.
