While spring has arrived in the Northern Hemisphere, surfers and filmers up there aren’t ready to say goodbye to winter just yet – especially Ben Weiland.
From Alaska to Russia, the Faroe Islands to Norway, Weiland has a reputation for showing up for the right swells, with the gamest surfers, like Dane Gudauskas, Alex Gray and Sam Hammer. He also regularly teams up with former Red Bull Illume winner, Chris Burkard.
His films have a way of inspiring everyone to get out and explore. So, before you dust off your boardies, have a watch of Weiland’s edit, the first in in our original series, Reel Life. Then, go book those plane tickets.
