Just Passing Through is a great film series. Reef sends its ambassadors all over the world to do what most surfers dream of doing: traveling for waves, different cultures, and new experiences. In this episode, though, things take a little different turn. Everyone’s favorite style-master/environmentalist/DIYer/van lifer/filmmaker Cyrus Sutton heads to the Kamchatka Peninsula, deep in Russia. The trip, which included Anna Ehrgott and photographer Dylan Gordon, came after a trip to the same area featured in Surfer Magazine a few years ago, and it is nothing short of one of the most incredible surf trips ever taken.
After three years of patiently waiting and watching for a swell with the right direction to make its way past a headland that protected a wave that Ben Weiland found on Google Earth, a storm with just the right angle happened. But the wave never materialized, at least not in the way Cyrus hoped for. What they found, though, was one of the most beautiful, dangerous, and untouched places on earth–and it’s a surf trip that not many would dare take.
