Boat trips are hands-down the best way to go surfing — especially when you’re exploring remote island chains, like in the latest Maps to Nowhere adventure. Of course, boat trips come in all forms — from ultra-luxury mega yachts to… well, whatever it was that Ian Crane, Winter Vincent, and Beau Cram ended up on for this journey.<br /><br />“It’s like we’re camping,” Crane said. “On a boat.”<br /><br />“It took a bit to get used to,” Vincent added. “Tight living spaces. I woke up looking at Beau’s face every morning. But once you settle into it, boat life is sick.”<br /><br />The trio endured days of travel — planes, ferries, cars, buses — just to reach their starting point. From there, they spent more days motoring through atolls, islands, and reef passes, scoring no shortage of empty, perfect waves. Exactly the kind of surf Maps to Nowhere was made to celebrate.<br /><br />“A lot of people are stoked just surfing 20 minutes from their house,” said longtime surf filmer and photographer Nate Lawrence. “But some people I know are obsessed with travel — obsessed with finding uncrowded waves. I like my nice comfy bed at home, but I also love getting uncomfortable. Because when you come back, everything hits different. You appreciate the little things again — it’s like a reset, a calibration.”<br /><br /><br /><br />Executive Producers:<br />Ross Garrett<br />Johnny Marcon<br />Taylor Paul<br />Graham Nash<br />Taylor Divine<br />Kieran Horn<br />Garth Tarlow<br /><br />Produced by:<br />Nate Lawrence<br /><br />Edited by:<br />Sean Benik<br />Matt Hogan<br />Graham Nash<br /><br />Art Direction by:<br />Noa Emberson<br /><br />Filmed by:<br />Nate Lawrence <br />Timmy "Toes" Ridenhauer<br /><br />Creative Direction:<br />Taylor Paul<br />Graham Nash<br /><br />Forecasters:<br />Charlie Hutcherson<br />Kurt Korte<br />Kevin Wallis<br />Schaler Perry <br /><br />Surfers:<br />Winter Vincent<br />Beau Cram<br />Ian Crane<br /><br />Photography:<br />Nate Lawrence<br />Timmy "Toes" Ridenhauer<br /><br />Music Supervisor:<br />Tim Scanlin<br /><br />Music Credits:<br />“Panda Journey”<br />Performed by Good Lee<br />Courtesy of Dirty Laundry Music<br /><br />“Happens All The Time”<br />Performed by Spaceface<br />Courtesy of Dirty Laundry Music<br /><br />“Everything Is Anything”<br />Performed by Doombird<br />Courtesy of Castle Peak Music<br /><br />Thank You:<br />A special thanks to all the local people and guides whose support and expertise made this episode possible.<br /><br />-----------------------------------<br /> Subscribe: <br /> http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=surfline<br /> <br /> Become a Surfline Premium Member: <br /> https://www.surfline.com/upgrade<br /> ----------------------------------

*It all started with Southern Hemisphere swells.* In the early '80s, Surfline co-founder Sean Collins was obsessed with analyzing South Pacific storms to the point where he'd string wire over cactuses in Baja to connect to a Nagrafax, the only tech at the time that could show such<br />things. He was equally obsessed with a certain fickle wave that required a solid South Pacific swell from a precise angle.<br /><br />Forty-plus years later, the technology has obviously improved. We have LOTUS models, satellites measuring seas, buoys reading waves — the 30-plus million miles of open ocean in the South Pacific are no longer completely mysterious. And it's not a one-swell-fits-all situation. Storm size, wind speeds, location, and storm track all affect how a swell shows up on various beaches from Polynesia to the Americas.<br /><br />The last few weeks of seemingly nonstop south swell, from late May through mid-June, illustrate these differences perfectly.<br /><br />*Act One:* The first batch of south swells in late May moved out from under New Zealand and delivered a week's worth of top-end paddle surf for Tahiti. The storm track moved toward Tahiti and Hawaii, increasing the size of what arrived on those coasts. The swell continued to the<br />Americas with decent to very good, but not giant, surf.<br /><br />*Act Two:* The following swell, a week or so later, featured an impressive area of 50-foot seas. More importantly for West Coast surfers, its location (more centrally positioned than the previous swells) perfectly aligned to produce the largest Southern Hemisphere swell in more than a decade across much of the Americas, and the biggest in Southern California since at least 2009.<br /><br />*Act Three:* Likely the strongest storm of the bunch, this one was located in the Southwest Pacific — similar to the first batch, but even more powerful. It also tracked north along the New Zealand coast, which is rare. It unloaded on Tahiti on June 11–12, though local conditions<br />compromised the biggest day. A couple of days later, Oahu's South Shore saw its biggest surf of the summer so far. And due to the storm's location and track, parts of Northern California recorded their biggest surf of the summer a few days after that.<br /><br />As Surfline's Kevin Wallis puts it: "I've been watching the South Pacific for a long time — more than a quarter century — and this is one of the better runs I've seen to kick off the Northern Hemisphere summer."<br />-----------------------------------<br />Subscribe: <br />http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=surfline<br /><br />Become a Surfline Premium Member: <br />https://www.surfline.com/upgrade?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=swell_stories&utm_content=2025_dec_north_atlantic&utm_term=cta_upgrade_description<br />----------------------------------

LIVE from Teahupoo, Tahiti. Pumping, double-overhead surf with bigger sets, offshore winds, and the reef is showing teeth. One of the heaviest waves on the planet doing what it does best.<br /><br />According to Surfline’s Schaler Perry: “Peak season has arrived in the South Pacific — and the End of the Road knows exactly what to do with raw Pacific power. The SPAC is mid-swing in a high-quality storm cycle. The first storm stacked 45-foot-plus seas over the weekend and pushed Teahupo’o into the upper echelon of paddle range by sundown Tuesday. Solid size is holding in on Wednesday morning.<br /><br />And this is far from one and done. The Southwest Pacific is already reloading, with a new series of storms lining up to deliver overlapping pulses to French Polynesia to close out the month.”<br /><br />Drop this on the big screen and let it run.<br />🌊 Watch SurflineTV 24/7 Live Cam Playlists, built for your TV:<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hm9iAviOZ20<br />The world's best surf cams, curated and always on.
