In these dismal days of job automation, a hankering surf habit and a case of wanderlust are the kiss of death. Long gone are the days of the drawn out surf trips planned around your boss’s mood.

Andrew’s prowess in the barrel and Nick’s behind the lens gives hope to those who are still punching the clock.
