A frozen coastline dotted with volcanoes on the far eastern coast of Russia isn’t every surfer’s idea of a good place for a wave. But that’s exactly why these guys went there.

 

In February 2022, filmmakers Spencer Frost and Guy Williment, and pro surfers Letty Mortensen and Fraser Dovell started a journey to the unexplored Kamchatka Peninsula in far eastern Russia. After two years of planning, their adventure almost ended before it even started, when Russia invaded Ukraine an hour before their scheduled flight to Moscow.

They went anyway.

Kamchatka is the story of the unsurfed waves they found and the obstacles they overcame to get there.

Check it out.

Our Editor Tim had a great chat with Spencer and Guy about the making of Corners of the Earth: Kamchatka.

Prep yourself for the film with a bit of background on what it takes to pull something like this off, and what it was like literally diving into the unknown.
