Ian Crane, Noah Wegrich, Soli Bailey and Laura Crane (eventually) find rugged redemption

Video Description

The underlying theme of any surf trip is optimism. There are empty perfect waves out there, just a matter of getting to ‘em at the right time. This most recent Maps to Nowhere adventure — featuring Ian Crane, Noah Wegrich, Soli Bailey and Laura Crane exploring a rugged, cold and unpredictable stretch of coast — embodied that spirit. How rugged? “It’s in our DNA: don’t go to the water,” local guide explained. “That’s where you go to work or go to die. It’s raw and brutal up here — and not friendly for ocean activities.” Thing is, this crew was here looking for exactly that. And after a few skunks, hours and hours in the car, rain, wind and swells that wouldn’t play nice, they found empty, reasonably perfect waves. Not 10-foot slabs, but the kind of fun that most surfers hop on a plane for. As British surfer Laura Crane said a couple days into the trip, “You can only be as stoked as what’s in front of you.” Which, in this case, turned out to be more than enough.
