Overland adventures

2005. 60,000 kilometres and 13 months around the South American continent. By motorcycle. 
(And thanks to Ted Grambeau for the header pic, which was shot in deepest Mexico during that journey....)
1982. California, USA, four years residency in lovely Cardiff-By-The Sea, and bringing home a genuine born-in-the-USA Californian daughter.
1974. God knows how many miles on the Hippie Trail, a year overland from London to Darwin.
1973. Six months on a  Suzuki 500 into the depths of Morocco.
And thousands of miles in between, by air, motorcycle, boat, car and on foot. Usually with a surfboard involved. 23 years on the road with Rip Curl, and everywhere that a fast-growing Global Surf Company reaches out for marketing or sourcing opportunities. The company that trademarked "The Search"!

The boat trip to Lombok and Sulawesi in 1991 that was the beginning of Rip Curl's "The Search" advertising campaign, probably the Surfing Industry's most successful and longest-running promotion.

When the Afghanis encouraged tourists. Well, they didn't shoot them anyway.
