After a busy season of cookbook writing, documentary making, and storytelling projects, Nicole Gormley was ready for a different kind of adventure. Follow the filmmaker and waterwoman to Hawaii's Big Island, where a weather-window spearfishing mission, wild places, and life off the grid offered a much-needed reset.

Some people know how to sit still. Cam Richards and Evan Geiselman aren't those people. Raised on the East Coast, both came up chasing waves in places most surfers overlook. That same restless energy still drives them today—whether they're surfing, fishing, traveling, or hitting the most famous breaks on the North Shore.

Emi Erickson lives a quiet life on the North Shore. The seasons don't really change there—just the direction of the swell, the light, the way the wind rises in the afternoon. She spends plenty of time on the road, but when the winter swell starts to show up, everything in her world quietly centers around Sunset Beach.

Baja has a way of stripping things back. Away from civilization. No crowds, no schedule, no pressure. Just the rhythm of the tides, the relentless sun, and a stretch of coastline that quietly demands your attention. For Rachael Tilly, three-time WSL World Champion, a few days in Baja became something more than a surf trip.

What happens when you drop a bunch of salty, feral athletes and anglers onto the Baja peninsula with only a loose plan and a couple tanks of gas? After a winter spent holed up, that’s exactly what we did. We hightailed it to Baja to chase the kind of weirdness you only find in the chaos and heatwaves of the desert—a mashup of dusty roads, cacti, and trippy coastal views.

Watch as legendary big-wave surfer, Mark Healey, trains and prepares for once-in-a-lifetime swells.

The Bonefish & Tarpon Trust is on track to plant 1 million mangroves in The Bahamas after 2019’s Hurricane Dorian, and we’ve partnered with them on a limited batch of sun hoodies that directly support their restoration efforts.

We also went down to Grand Bahama to capture their progress and discovered just how deeply rooted these mangrove trees are in the health of the local fishery, greater ecosystem, and communities that call The Bahamas home.
