    Sometimes the Dew does you.

    Not sure which one this was, but this expedition/media production was a definite highlight for us here at OSV not to mention Scott Dickerson Stills and Motion and Surf Alaska.

    Scott served as captain of the M/V Milo, production support AND as talent for this production of Moniker Media and Mt. Dew. Unfortunately Captain Mike missed out on the first hand fun so he is more stoked than anyone to be able to share in this awesome video.

    It was a great a crew, old friends and new:

    Cover- Four Days on the MiloWe were very pleased to have writer Matt Reed’s trip on the M/V Milo this ‘spring’ included in the May issue of ADN’s lifestyle Magazine 61º North.

    It’s a great article that shows how much fun even those new to ocean sports can have on the Milo. In addition to viewing the article in the magazine you can view a slideshow with additional photos (by our own Scott Dickerson of course) from the trip, here.

    We hope this gets you excited to plan your own trip – there is still time for you to join us this summer. Contact us today!

  • Go west young man…the surf is good.

    Go west young man…the surf is good.

    Fall of 2014 marked our second trip stretching the boundaries of our westernmost expedition to include the farthest reaches of the Alaska Peninsula.

    This is an area we feel we have only begun to explore so we are heading back this fall. Interested? Let us know, we may have a couple spots to fill.

    Thanks to Scott Dickerson Photography for the photos.

    We love pulling up to one of these.

    Summer in the Fjords

    We consider the territory between Homer and Seward, Alaska to be our extended backyard. And there is no place better to spend the summer than out back. Here are a few shots from a trip through the Kenai Fjords this June. Thanks to Scott Dickerson Photography for the images.

    This was one of our best trips to date- everything came together with little effort and while we didn’t score huge waves we had some excellent surf and equally excellent fishing and eating. Not to mention excellent weather. And company!

    Check out the rest of the story here.

    Ready to start planning your own Alaskan Surf Adventure? The most important ingredient is initiative as our friends Josh and John from San Diego (the impetus for this trip) found out. Along the line of ‘build it and they will come’ Josh and John made this trip happen. You can do the same.

    A reminder of the best way to get your adventure started (and exactly what Josh and John did): Get a group together and contact us to iron out the details for your dream trip and reserve your dates. Not sure where you want to go? No worries, just tell us what you’d like to do, what your skill level is and what time frame you are looking at. We’ll work with you to create an itinerary to make the most of your trip. If you don’t have a full crew we’ll work to fill the trip and keep expenses low for you.

    Who knows who you might end up surfing with.

    Here it is, part II of the epic Alaskan Kite Adventure of Robby Naish, Kai Lenny and Kevin Langaree from earlier this year.

    It was great fun to have guys of this caliber hanging out and showing off their skills. We loved seeing them up their game for Alaska!  Glad you get to enjoy now too.  Thanks Naish!

    Well you asked and here it is! Fred Dickerson, filmmaker, put together an Encore Show of Alaska Sessions for all of you who missed it and those of you who just can’t get enough. I know we’ll all be in that category as we look forward to the second show.

    I just hope there will be surf soon after to satisfy the cravings that it is sure to create!

     

    Thanks Homer Theatre!

  • Video Vignette from Gulf of Alaska Surf Trip

    We really love this new video from Matt Wild of some great waves on a recent Milo adventure! This is a few of the many many waves from the past month. We really thank Matt for documenting all of this fun.  He put many cold hours in on the beach and we know how tough that is.  Great editing too!
