Norðurey
This was a personal trip with some friends to a mysterious land that I had been dreaming about for ages. We encountered heavy snowfall, northern lights, exotic gummies, massive waterfalls, the continental divide, a flawless left point and an incident with some raw garlic that I’m sure we all wish we could forget.
Surfers: Josh Mulcoy, Dane Anderson, Aaron Bierman and Heidar Logi.
Placement: Assets from this trip were used commercially by O’Neill Wetsuits.
