    Surf Alaska video series intro

    surfing in Alaska with snow covered mountains

    Surfing in Alaska is experienced by a very few and forgotten by not one of them. While we don’t always remember the individual waves ridden, or even the specific sessions, it’s the whole adventure that is so memorable. It’s the rawness and beauty of the total wilderness that we discover waves in that sticks in our daydreams. Those mornings after a long stormy night when there’s a bit of frost on the deck of the boat but the wind is calm, the stars are out and the only thing you can hear is the roaring of surf outside the bay.

  • Filming for Patagonia Wetsuits

    Filming for Patagonia Wetsuits

    The clothing and outdoors brand/religion known as patagonia just released their 2014 wetsuit guide video. Patagonia surf ambassadors Chris and Keith Malloy’s recent trip to Alaska is featured with footage by Scott Dickerson. Check it out.

    This project was special for us on several levels. For one thing it was an opportunity for Scott to showcase that his talents aren’t only in still photography. It also gave us another chance to show new friends how we have fun in Alaska –  on a great surf trip with Ocean Swell Ventures on the M/V Milo. The timing just worked out such that our friend Daniel Zatz of Zatzworks was in the area shooting cineflex aerials and was kind enough to get a few shots for this project as well.

    We are proud to count many Patagonia ambassadors as our friends – they are some of the most enjoyable folks in the industry that we’ve gotten to know.

    Stay tuned for the report from Scott’s most recent Patagonia shoot in Alaska with kitesurfing ambassador Jason Slezak.

  • das ist cool! Alaska im Winter: Adventure and Surf

    das ist cool! Alaska im Winter: Adventure and Surf

    We’ve had what seems like a lot of German attention lately, and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated it!

    Early this winter we were visited by filmmaker Sabrina Hermsen and her crew from ZDF (the German equivalent of PBS, we understand). We had a lot of fun showing them around and managed to get some surf when by all standards there really wasn’t any.

    This German TV episode features us and Surf Alaska.  Our appearance begins at 5:47.

    In this longer episode Mike McCune of Ocean Swell Ventures and the M/V Milo are featured as well, although the surf is noticeably missing. We’re only sorry they didn’t include the post session feast, standard fare on the Milo, that we shared with them. Check it out, starting at 6:49.

    Oh yeah, we also wish we knew what they are saying about us!  Did you hear anyone say ‘der spinnt’ (he’s nuts!)?

    This fall we were also showing up in German print:

    On a more traditional front, Scott’s ever popular aerial bore tide surf shot was featured as a double page spread in a German magazine, Fit for Fun.

    And another one that we really wish we could read: a super-cool looking book about Stand-Up Paddling published several SDP photos, including one of Scott surfing (taken by yours truly!).

    Yes, this means that Scott is surfing in a book that has Laird Hamilton on the cover.

  • Surfing Alaska this fall

    I’ve been out on more than a couple surf trips this fall on the m/v Milo with Ocean Swell Ventures. On a recent trip I shot a little video between photos and today I put together a very very short edit to start learning my way around some new video editing software. Check out the video below.

  • Bristol Bay exhibit opening video

    As previously mentioned – I have an exhibit on display at the Pratt Museum in Homer, Alaska now through June 26th, 2011.  It is a collaboration with sculptor Maygen Jannetta. The opening reception was on April 15th, and for the event I put a GoPro HD camera up to shoot a still photo every few seconds.  The resulting video is embedded below.

    Over 100 people came through the exhibit that evening and hopefully many many more will see it before the end of June. Thanks again to the World Wildlife Fund for their support of my photography work included in this exhibit.
