Best Sections of All-Time: Landscape Altered - Episode 1

What an appropriately titled webisonic series. A trip to offseason Indo with some of the best aerialists of 2010 and Kai Neville’s cameras rolling. The landscape was scorched and never the same.

With photographer Tom Carey shooting for Surfing Magazine and Chippa Wilson, Clay Marzo, Josh Kerr, Jay Davies and Mitch Coleborn on board, the crew went into the offseason jungle to stomp the biggest thing they could imagine. Not a hoof or knee lor nose eft the boat unbuckled.

The trip produced one of the best photo features we ever printed at Surfing Magazine and gave us direction and fodder and new faces to profile for years. It cemented a movement for technical aerial surfing that was ushered in by Modern Collective and came with an attitude all its own. Onshore = Offshore, etc.

Hot off Modern Collective’s heals, this series represented a movement and an energy that would last the next 6 or 7 years. Airs. Technical ones. And lofty ones. Ambitious filmmaking. Good music. Sequence photography. And some of the best surf cinema of all time.

Today we’ll highlight this sneaky little gem that takes you back to a nice little moment in surfing and aerials. Huck it.—Travis Ferré
