GoPro: Alaskan Surf Adventure with Alex Gray and Anthony Walsh
The Aleutian Islands are a chain of islands that extend west from southern Alaska; they’re known for their extreme weather and nasty seas-the Pacific to the south; the Bering to the north. Alex Gray and Anthony Walsh didn’t just travel here to surf though. The particular island that we were exploring is home to the single longest-settled community in the entire world. The Aleutians who reside there are descendants from a group that migrated from Russia across the Bering Strait over 8,000 years ago; they never left. Gray and Walsh had traveled to the island with hopes of learning some indigenous practices firsthand-hunting, in particular-and teaching the locals how to surf in exchange. No one was making it out of this trip unscathed. - Words by Chris Brinlee Jr.

This was one of the best GoPro films in a long time!
yepppppppppppppppp and greeting from israel
what I love about surfers is how they respect the ocean so much
We respect it cause it offers beauty and so much to us
8:37 "The whole town was there" *Shows 5 people" 😂😂
I love Alex Gray's enthusiasm! He is truly passionate about what they were doing. A true love for surfing.
18 min of my life I will never regret
17:50*
I don't care for surfing. That being said, one the best uploads to this channel in a very long time. Just beautiful.
surfing is beautifull mate, with virgin wild nature like this even more beautifull
You don't care for it because you've never experienced the euphoria it creates for a moment. I can say this with 100% certainty, a lot less wars would be fought if more people pursued the joy of surfing.
Wow that Movie was just so Amazing. Thanks GoPro! Definitly well used 18 minutes!
MAN THAT WAS EPIC... REAL SENSE OF WHAT SURF TRAVEL IS ALL ABOUT......

Wow so cool! I Love GOPRO!
Respect. Looks cold. Editing is excellent and vibe is great. Waves and barrels were great too! Worth it?
Here before it goes viral !
I used to live on Kodiak while I was in the USCG. There were waves and a few hardcore guys that would paddle out.....but I wasn't one of them. lol. I also worked at Dive n' Surf in Redondo when Alex was on the come up and he'd be in there a lot.....super cool guy.
Amazing. Simply amazing 😵
Checkout my channel and sub. I make Gopro Sports vides ;)
WOW! Best video I ever seen 😉
Mouth mount is the MyGo aka mygomount. Incredible adventure!

I wonder what kind of editing software they use. GOD DAMN these shots are crystal clear!!!!!
Very nice waves. I am interested in visiting the islands one day. Aloha Brent McKinney.
Great video!
Yo GoPro! Just made an edit from Bali - id love feedback :)
Jorden Tually please visit nias island broh
Come to indonesia,and try the best spot for surf in Nias Island
Wow!
Nice!
woulda been cool if you did the bore tide, waters murky and the wave isn't big but its a long ride
Is this the same spot that they surfed in Cradle of Storms? One of the best cold water waves I've seen if it is.
*AWESOME VIEW ))) Cool!!!*
What's with the crossbows and camo' face paint? What were you hunting/killing?
*Cold but lit* 🔥

And here I am putting off buying a jacket just to surf a few states North😂

This is insane! How's the stoke on the blokes?
Surfer thought process: Fingers and toes cold, bea is home alone with pizza rolls in the oven. But dude the waves are popping (stays another 4 hours)
Man! I want to learn to surf now. 😁
Really enjoyed this up to the point of the camouflage and crossbows.
Was this shot on the hero 5 black
9:46 wat stations are these on
