Clip description

Jonno and Stefan travel to Yakutat, Alaska. They are welcomed by Jack, proprietor of the Icy Waves surf shop.

Curator’s notes

Alaska is the first exotic location Jonno and Stefan visit. Their meeting with local surf shop owner Jack shows the universal appeal of the sport and the dedication of enthusiasts in cold climates. Proving they are game for adventure and committed to experiencing all aspects of American culture, the boys eat bear stew at Jack’s house.
