“One of the Best Boat Trips I’ve Ever Done” — Winter Vincent <br /><br />Winter Vincent is slowly becoming a seasoned Maps to Nowhere veteran. Doesn’t ask a lot of questions, is easy to travel with, and ready to hop on a plane in a moment’s notice. Oh, yeah, and he rips. The stylish Aussie regularfoot has been on three of the nine trips in the series over the past few years: The Lost Atoll, Wonderland of Waves, and most recently, Equatorial Dreams, where he, Ian Crane and Beau Cram essentially camped out, feral-style, on a boat to score empty, perfect surf. “They keep getting better,” Vincent said. “This not just one of the best Maps trips, but probably one of the best boat trips I’ve ever done.” Fun fact? This weeklong trip was the longest Vincent has gone without internet since he was 12 when he didn’t have a phone. “It’s been good,” he said. “A detox.” <br /><br />-----------------------------------<br />Subscribe: <br />http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=surfline<br /><br />Become a Surfline Premium Member: <br />surfline.com/upgrade/<br />----------------------------------

For over a decade now, the Four Seasons Maldives Surfing Champions Trophy has offered up some of the dreamiest contest surf anyone sees all year. Sultans is an everyperson's dream wave, a perfectly tapered, aquamarine blue right reef that bends around a remote atoll in the middle of the Indian Ocean. It's also the fanciest surf contest of the year, where competitors and their families enjoy the Four Seasons' amenities in between heats. <br />And for surf fans, it also offers a chance to watch some of their favorite surfers who are no longer front-and-center and on CT webcasts. Case in point: this year saw Michel Bourez, Owen Wright, Jesse Mendes, Craig Anderson and local ripper Ismail “Smiley” Rasheed go head to head in single-fin, twin-fin and thruster divisions over the course of the week. <br />While Wright dominated the single-fin and twin-fin divisions, Bourez -- while nursing a pulled hamstring, no less -- pulled out a perfect ten on the last and best wave of the contest. <br />“I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to surf today,” smiled Bourez, “but I was always going to try. Before the first heat I figured out if I put all my weight on the back foot I could still surf, and I felt like I was in the zone after that. I felt the mana, as we say in Tahiti, I felt in tune with the energy of the ocean. I’m so happy we had such perfect conditions, and to do this with my family here. It’s very special, a week we will always remember.”<br /><br /><br />-----------------------------------<br />Subscribe: <br />http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=surfline<br /><br />Become a Surfline Premium Member: <br />surfline.com/upgrade/<br />----------------------------------

Michelle Bautista Layton grew up on a sailboat in Oceanside, started tutoring math and science when she was 16 and quickly realized that she could combine all of it and score amazing waves while still maintaining a career.<br />“My goal was to create a floating office and home,” she said. “Where I could access surf breaks that you could only access by water. I wanted to find lefts that were uncrowded warm and clean.”<br /><br />As others have said in our series, it’s not a super simple equation. “It’s a lifestyle that requires balance,” she said. “You have to create your own structure, you have to have all the tools you need — but not more than you need.”<br /><br /><br />-----------------------------------<br /> Subscribe: <br /> http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=surfline<br /> <br /> Become a Surfline Premium Member: <br /> http://surfline.com/upgrade.<br />----------------------------------

Meet San Diego-born Cole Harmening — surfer, sailor, digital marketer for a sandal brand. His boat is his office, the open ocean is his commute. Now and then, he ties up long enough to repack his boardbag, shakes a few hands, and reminds his boss he still exists — before disappearing again into the horizon. A surfer's dream life. <br />It's not without effort, though. "A lot of the time, I feel like I work even more than I would in a traditional nine to five," he said. "The work never stops."<br />That said, Harmening has a strategy. "I don’t need to surf every day," he said. "But I wanna be there for the optimal conditions. I’ll set up my month so that I can be in the right spot so I can enjoy surfing to its fullest." <br />Here's some advice on how you can do it too.<br /><br /><br />-----------------------------------<br /> Subscribe: <br /> http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=surfline<br /> <br /> Become a Surfline Premium Member: <br /> https://surfl.in/2Cd36tF<br /> ----------------------------------

On Saturday, August 16th, Josh Burke enjoyed a fun, glassy, shoulder-high day at his homebreak Soup Bowl in Barbados from the initial pulses of Erin. Nearly two weeks and over 4,000 miles later, Nate Florence scratched into a giant Irish slab from the remnants of the same storm. In between, thousands of surfers from both sides of the Atlantic reaped the benefits of hurricane Erin, some of which you can see above. <br /><br />"What a month and what a storm," said Surfline's Florida based senior forecaster Charlie Hutcherson, who'd started watching Erin closely when it was just scattered clouds off Africa on August 8th and saw its finale in Africa on August 28th. "Hurricane Erin is gonna go down as one of the most memorable swell makers in the Atlantic. It had a perfect recurving track, avoided the Caribbean and shot the gap between Cape Hatteras and Bermuda and recurved before it hit the northeast. All surf and no land is what we're looking for, and Erin managed that." <br /><br />Timeline: <br /><br />August 8: The National Hurricane Center began monitoring tropical wave over West Africa. <br /><br />August 9: The tropical waves moved into the Atlantic. <br /><br />August 11: Named Tropical Storm Erin. <br /><br />Aug 15: Erin became a Cat 1 Hurricane. <br /><br />August 16: Erin underwent explosive intensification overnight and became a major hurricane early on August 16, becoming a Category 5 hurricane by 11:20am. Erin attained its peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of 160 mph (260 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 915 mbar (27.02 inHg), about 135 mi (220 km) north-northwest of Anguilla. <br /><br />Aug 16- 28: The whole North Atlantic Ocean experienced a two week swell event. <br /><br />-----------------------------------<br /> Subscribe: <br /> http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=surfline<br /> <br /> Become a Surfline Premium Member: <br /> https://surfl.in/2Cd36tF<br /> ----------------------------------

No need to be independently wealthy or wait for retirement to surf your way around the world. This is the crux of "The Modern Guide to Surf Exploration”. You could be an engineer with a laptop, like Fernando Frances (Ep. 1) or an artist with paint and canvas like Bryce Baker (Ep. 2). Another option, as illustrated by the subject of our third episode, Avalon Starick, is to hone a useful craft that's valuable in many places. Starick's craft happens to be shaping surfboards, which she's done all over the world, connecting with like-minded folks and scoring some damn fine waves in the process. (Being a surf guide, which Starick also did, is another great way to score without having to spend.) <br /><br />"I realized I could blend work and surf travel," she said. "I knew it could be done, and I just had to work hard and figure out how I could make it happen. If you've got a hands-on skill, you can totally utilize it and find work while traveling by connecting people in your industry online beforehand — or just showing up in person and showing that you're eager to work." <br /><br /> Starick has good reason for this strategy. "You’re not gonna remember the times where you stayed at home and worked," she said. "You re gonna make some incredible new memories by traveling and taking these opportunities wholeheartedly — and at least some good stores to tell." <br /><br />Edited by:<br />Nick Liotta<br />James Mackenzie<br /><br />Additional footage by:<br />Giulia Avila<br />Ignacio Ravelo<br />3rd Stone MFG <br />-----------------------------------<br /> Subscribe: <br /> http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=surfline<br /> <br /> Become a Surfline Premium Member: <br /> Surfline.com/upgrade<br /> ----------------------------------

Itinerant artist/surfer Bryce Baker was lucky enough to grow up on the beach in Hawaii. Started surfing very young, the bug stuck, and he quickly started looking beyond his local beach. “You can only do so much at home,” he said. “And once you see other places, discover new spots — that's kind of what sparks most travelers.” <br /><br />‘Course traveling around to surf ain’t free. But Baker quickly realized that he was actually saving money by being away from home. “A meal in Hawaii can get me three meals in Japan or four meals in Mexico,” he said. "You definitely can spend enough money to be comfortable and have a shower, but you don't need to have a villa with AC and a flat screen TV if you're honestly just trying to get barreled." <br /><br />Plus, Baker is able to bring his work with him — and use the locations in his art. "I feel like a lot of artists don't travel as much as they should," he said. "People think that some of their best work comes from the comfort of their studio or home and things like that, but I think once you step out of that area and see the outside cultures and worlds and other characters, it really will spark interest." <br /><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 /> ----------------------------------
