‘It was sick!’ Spence almost shouts.‘We expected to get good waves but nothing special, but the waves blew away all of our expectations.’Fraser Dovell and Letty Mortensen (@lettymortensen), the two pros on the trip, have surfed more waves than most ever will and Spencer reckons this trip will be up there.The unique waves, the culture, just the scope of the project itself gave every wave such meaning. Perhaps especially so for Letty, who’d never done any proper cold water surfing before this trip.‘Just getting the waves, everything is so hard. You camp in the snow, or wait for a weather window and take a helicopter. Everything was heightened times ten by the time you do actually score a wave. It’s amazing.’Guy jumps in, ‘And the scenery, the backdrops, you’ve literally got volcanoes on the coastline, total sensory overload. It was like we’d dreamt.’It sounded so addictive that I wondered aloud if strolling down into the warm waters of the Northern Beaches of Sydney once they got home was too easy, too nice even.But Spencer tells me that once they arrived home, after running on adrenaline and stress for nearly two months, they crashed hard, the weeks living on the edge caught up to them and even walking to the shops was stressful for a bit.
