The Wrong Way

When winter closes in on Northern Europe, most people head south to chase the autumn swells. We turned the van north and drove past the arctic circle in Norway to see what was up there.

Bourgeois Bicycle Caravan

In the Autumn of 2009, the trio of Jimmy Bodean, Harold Hobart Hellybutt & Del Da-Foster embarked on an expedition, along the western seaboard of france, by bicycle. With trailers brimming with the nessasities (surfyboards, box cameras, pencils and books of russian beat poetry) the trio went in search of the image perfect and the ultimate rambling tale.

North Songs - Iceland

“We’re fleeing north to just below the Arctic. We’re in need of adventure. It’s been a hot summer, but it’s the winter storms that captivate us and they’re flooding in now. Our team has come together organically, under a shared lust for adventure. If the attraction of the unpredictable nature of the north connects us all, then surfing is the glue that binds us.”
