Remote, Shallow and Barreling? Watch Maps to Nowhere Episode 3: “Timing is Everything”



Patience is a virtue. Maybe you’ve heard that one before, but when it comes to getting the waves of your life, it’s not just a cliché. Diehard surf traveler/journalist Matt Rode has spent years exploring and mapping the remote corners of the surfing world. This time, he invited fellow surfers Soli Bailey, Anne Dos Santos and Ian Crane to explore a beautiful, menacing right reef slab, with a lot more going on than it first appears. Seventy-two hours and four flights later, they’d beaten the swell into town…and the wait began. Until the last two days of the trip, when their patience paid off in the biggest and most glorious Maps challenge so far.

*Note: “Maps to Nowhere” is a series about how far surfers will go to ride perfect, empty waves. The spots you’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.

***NEXT! Ep 4, “Where The Road Ends,” with Jordy Smith and Soli Bailey, premieres May 17th.

    if you pause frame I see a boarding pass from Melbourne to Manilla. Gotta be one of those islands maybe.

  8. Tobias Duffy

    So good! You can probably deduce the country by the food at the potluck but I have no idea where besides that.

    Epic wave in Philippines… Gotta be near Catanduanes somewhere on the east coast which gets the most solid swell there
    PR222 Brisbane to Manila…..

    This is the best thing I’ve seen yet on any YouTube channel. Give the Film crew, editors and of course athletes a freaking standing ovation. I hope Surfline knows they have a special thing going on here.

    This might be in the Philippines based on the food they were having at 18:27. Not sure where exactly tho

    I know you’re not supposed to disclose the locations but I need to know where tf this is!

    There's many surf vids, surf series, some of the same length, haven't seen many this easy to watch. Incredible guys!!

    What's the point of hiding the location? Do you really think thousands will just go and destroy the beach that is located "4 days of travel"? I like the show but don't agree with all the secrecy, let others enjoy and don't try to be the "local gringo" at a beach tens of thousands miles away from home. Let others enjoy it too.

    I was super impressed with the little lady, trying to send it on this slab! I've been on trips to explore in Indo, and it's no joke. This crew was ripping. No hospital where they were! Super thick slab.
    Right on Matt. Keep em coming please 🙏

    Anyone know the song when they are scoring during that hectic session. Such a sick song. Tried to Shazam it but wouldn’t come up.
