Asher Pacey making the most of Cyclone Oma on all kinds of craft with lots of friends on even more kinds of craft… If it’s surfable it’s pretty much in this slide of Australian life.
Recent low barometric pressure energy sent a specimen shockwave across our northern shores. Leaving no sandy right point unsquat and no stony headland untrod, their lust for life & loiter only gaining energy as the days went by. With unprecedented vigour they battered the coast relentlessly leaving Z dude Asher Pacey to flee his land and seek refuge in the ocean.
Not your normal high-octane surf short this, more of a ‘how insane does Kamchatka look … and there’s waves there yes.’ Now most folks of a certain age only know where Kamchatka is from playing Risk. It’s the volcanic east end of Russia and as such is primed for Pacific swell. It’s not an easy place to travel without a good 4×4 or an old Russian military chopper taxi. But as a dose of wanderlust inducing imagery this hits the spot…
Sometimes you just need to sit back and regroup. Find a place you can call home. Where you can recharge. Tim Bisso, 22, former WSL World Junior Championship runner-up and Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach trials winner, has done exactly that.
After travelling the globe for a couple of years grinding on the WQS, constantly being on the move and not getting the results he wanted, Tim has found his new home in Ericeira, Portugal.
Two back-to-back WQS wins (Tenerife / Senegal) are proof that Tim’s confidence is back, that he is ‘reborn’ as his latest clip title says.
This clip was filmed entirely in and around Ericeira.
