The world class waves of Reykjanes - a surfers hotspot

Icelanders Elli Thor Magnusson and Heiðar Logi invited an international cast of pro surfers to join them on a chase for some of Iceland's remotest and wildest waves. They found some of those waves by Reykjanes peninsula, a frequent hotspot for Iceland’s best surfers.

Filmmakers Mike Bromley and Ryan Meichtry followed the Icelandic duo, photographer Elli Thor and pro surfer Heidar Logi, into the deepest parts of Iceland's frozen wave country, along with international pros Conor Maguire, Natxo Gonzalez, Russell Bierke, and Noah Wegrich. On surf trips like this, it's as much about the epic waves you score as it is about the adventure getting there and the company along the way. Don't miss one of the year's best far-flung surf explorations.
