Caption: Myself (Chris Burkard) and filmer Ben Weiland, along with surfers Harrison Roach, Parker Coffin, and Nate Zoller traveled thousands of miles to one of the more remote and exposed coastal regions on earth - the Aleutian Islands of Alaska. Venturing by plane, boat, and quad runners in search of good waves and new horizons, we came as prepared as possible, but nothing can entirely prepare you for the great unknown. Arc of Aleutia

Caption: Seeing wildlife on any trip is always a perk but it was much more than that on the island. Bald Eagles ruled this land and watched over us making sure that we kept order. I almost felt as if we needed to pay our dues to them.

Caption: Upon arrival we met the most experienced captain in the area. A man named Jimmer who would introduce us to the first of many epic moments throughout our journey. It was incredible to see him navigate the vessel through these waters as he knew each and every nook and cranny. It was a privilege to see someone so in tune with nature.
We trusted him with everything we had.

Caption: The crew couldn’t get in the water fast enough! Shooting from the boat, all I could hear were the hoots echoing in the lineup.
