- Josh Mulcoy’s first time to Alaska was for SURFER way back in the early ’90s, and it landed him a cover Opens a New Window. . That trip also began an obsession with the state that’s lasted two and a half decades, in which time he’s been back at least once every year. “There’s been some trips that had some fun waves, and some trips that had some really bad waves,” says Mulcoy in his new film, “Within Reach”, above. “I guess I have an addiction to places that never get good, because I keep going back. Sounds stupid, but it’s true: I’ve gotten to surf perfect waves in other places but I’ve never had that feeling like I’ve had in [Alaska], when it all comes together.”
For Mulcoy, it certainly all came together on a recent expedition, the first time he’s truly scored in Alaska since that maiden trip as a teenager. “To pull up this time and have it doing it again was just a dream,” Mulcoy continues. “Like 25 years? Are you serious? To get it again with my friends…I dunno, those were the best waves I’ve had in years. And the best moments of surfing, because of where it was and what it was.”
I grew up surfing in Cape Hatteras , when I was 21 I moved to Alaska, I eventually became a bush pilot always had my board in my plane and would land on the beach when i found waves.I can’t count the hundreds of perfect waves I’ve surfed all by myself in Alaska.
“I don’t even like going left” - best line ever! 😆
I'm 60 and started surfing in So Cal (Ventura Co.) in 1974. When you said your sponsors said traveling was unmarketable I couldn't believe it. I would say that between 74-79 I learned more about geography and the outside world thru the travel articles in the surf mags than I ever did in school. We cared nothing for contest but devoured the travel issues. Great film, Thank You.
Now your selling out Alaska
Alaska? You mean Kelly’s wave pool
I can already hear the construction of a brewery and yoga studio over there since this video was released.
as soon as global warming strikes the entire world will be a new surfing frontier again.
To be alive and never live is a waste of a life...this is the reason we have souls...NEVER STOP EXPLORING...well done brother, well done...🙏😎
God.......Is.....Everywhere.
Every scene here looks so unreal. I can’t believe places like this exist
Awesome! I can't believe the company didn't believe in adventure surfing, because adventure is what surfing is all about!!! They could have a whole movie about rad cold surfing places called The Endless Winter.
Wow! Waves with the snowy mountains in the background!! Dope shit🤙🏿🤙🏿
I started surfing a month ago at the age of 41 after a life changing experience and videos like this want to make me go everyday now. The Weekend soon cant wait too get back out there. Inspirational 🤙
I've watched this a few times now, getting addicted. It's almost hypnotic, got some sort of meditative quality to it. Thank you Surfer and Josh, absolute ripper of a video!
Song: Tightrope - Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors. Well chosen! Beautiful video.
This is the same reason I love surfing Scotland .
Stick to what you love - no better words spoken.
Josh seems like one good dude. He also rips it up pretty good. Great flick!
The setting Mulcoy is getting interviewed in might be the most beautiful dock I’ve ever seen in my life.
This is what living is all about. Thanks Josh for bringing such a warm feeling in this video.
