The Search

That is photographer Ted Grambeau explaining how, just a few weeks ago, he found himself standing on a remote African coastline, shivering as the sun rose and the fog lingered, camera in hand.

On the Search with South American slab hunters Bruno Santos and Guillermo Satt.

"Pssst Mick, check this out… I’ve got this wave and I really want you to surf it with us."

Cela fait maintenant quatre jours qu’ils se dirigent vers le nord dans ce vaste et lointain paysage de néant, et ce n’est que le début. C'est La Recherche.

Inattendu. Loin. Isolé. Inconnu. Il existe un million de façons différentes de décrire ce voyage, mais la plus appropriée est peut-être de dire qu’il ne ressemblait à rien d’autre.

With each era our passion has known, people have pushed the limits of exploration and innovation to new boundaries. Like a snowball thrown over the ledge before a cliff drop, they laid the paths to our Search and sent us in new directions.

Undulating plains of dust, plateaus dominated by single agave species, and mountainous slopes punctuated with the bizarre, Dr Suess type cirio trees, creating a truly alien impression.

Pour le snowboarder qui voyage, il n’y a pas de débat : les Alpes européennes sont en tête de liste des destinations à ne pas manquer.

10 epic locations, 11 unique editors, and the world’s best surfers: Somewhere is the compilation of many hands making The Search.

Nous parlons de quantités et de couches insondables, de plus en plus profondes, en croissance constante, couvrant des pans et des morceaux du pays. Nous parlons de neige – ou comme l’appellent les Japonais, "Yuki"

It’s moments like that… those random experiences, those unique memories, that made this trip – and frankly, that are missing from a lot of surf trips these days.
