Way Off-Grid, Cold and Throttling: Watch Maps to Nowhere Ep 4, “Where The Road Ends”

By



Remote. Off-grid. Uncomfortable. Far. This place was all that and more – a cold-water desert coast where the issue wasn’t so much whether there’d be swell, but whether there’d be too much swell. That, and staying warm.

Even for diehard surf traveler/journalist Matt Rode, who’s spent the last 20 years getting as far away from other surfers as possible, it was a solid call. For his travel buddies Jordy Smith and Soli Bailey, it was a chance to step away from the everyday, and stretch their skills in some increasingly epic surf zones. In “Where The Road Ends”, the crew drives for days into the desert, camping on remote bluffs under the night sky and waking up to waves they’d hoped for, but never expected. Even for such a well-traveled bunch, it’s a surf camping trip like no other.

*Note: “Maps to Nowhere” is a series about how far surfers will go to ride perfect, empty waves. The spots yu’ll see in the series are not new discoveries, but they are perfect, empty, and remain undisclosed, because our belief is that the journey is at least half the fun — and sometimes, over half the travel time. We thank the many local community members who’ve helped make our adventures a success.

    Cool edit but does Surfline have any comment on the criticisms from guys like Nathan Florence and Koa Rothman about showing up to place slike Teahupoo and stealing content from free surfers who are making their living as content creators?

    Totally awesome. Looks like what I am still trying to find. Still searching for cool cobblestone bottom pointbreaks a blissful climate wearing a wetsuit most of the time and UNCROWDED. You lads really scored. Would swap places with you immediately and stay.

    After watching this I realized that this is a beach-break, not a cobblestone bottomed point, so I would not want to stay for more than a week. I must keep searching for the perfect surfing lifestyle place to live. Western and South Australia are at the top of my list along with South Africa's cold cobblestone points.

    Super cool series, loved every episode. Surf trips/adventures are awesome. That feeling of being in the middle of nowhere surfing super fun waves with just a core crew of friends, that's the best. Can't wait!

    Wow! This series is my favorite thing I have ever watched! It literally gives you all the best feels! Being land locked as of right now, this was exactly what I needed to keep the stoke on! Thanks for taking us along on the journey!
