This is the start of something simple.

These posts are field notes — observations and reflections from trips taken, waves chased, challenges accepted, and moments that didn’t quite go to plan. They sit alongside the films, not as explanations, but as a place to slow things down and capture what often gets lost in the edit.

I’ve always liked the idea of keeping a record. Not polished travel guides or highlights, but notes from the road and the water — what worked, what didn’t, and what surprised me along the way.

Some of these will be about travel.

Some will be about surf.

Some will be about doing uncomfortable things on purpose.

All of them are about curiosity, movement, and seeing what’s actually possible when you say yes to the trip.

If you’re here because you enjoy thoughtful stories, honest experiences, and the long way round — you’re in the right place.

More soon.
