Indies Trader 3

September 24, 2012 | Words By:

I recently had the pleasure of joining a very cool group of American and Australian surfers aboard the Indies Trader 3 for a photo mission.


The Indies Trader boats are iconic surf charter vessels that pretty much set the benchmark in surf travel. Isolated line-ups, top notch service and luxurious comfort. We were styling on the high seas.

So where’d we go? I don’t know exactly. Or I’m not able to say. It don’t matter too much. The main thing is the waves pumped.

Big shout-outs to Murray, Ken, Chris, Jamie, Steve, Big Chris, Charles and Pancho for an excellent trip. And a massive thank you to Erik, Tim, Jorg and the Indies Trader team.

Here’s a few images from the past couple of weeks.
