Whatever happened to old-fashioned exploration? 1091 has debuted the official trailer for a surfing doc titled
Arc of Aleutia, directed and shot in Alaska by Chris Burkard & Ben Weiland. The film follows three famed surfers – Harrison Roach, Parker Coffin, Nate Zoller – as they travel to surf the un-surfed territory of the
Aleutian Islands. That long tentacle of islands that sticks out from the southwest corner of Alaska towards Russia - those are the Aleutian Islands. Describing his experience, Coffin explains: Everything felt bigger and a little bit gnarlier up there. I couldn t believe the quality of waves, it reminded me of Hawaii, but I was in a 6 mil instead of boardshorts. On top of that, I saw some of the most beautiful sights of my entire life… Barreling waves with bald eagles and snow capped volcanos everywhere. Honestly, the Aleutian s have so much beauty and so much raw power at the same time that it really is hard to describe. Epic. Mega epic.
