The lost files: Maldives, August 2015 - photos
Words by Louis Harris from Liquid Destination
I've managed to track down some files we lost from the big swell we had last month in the Maldives. Somehow these files were deleted from the camera card and after a few postage routes across the world and some file recovery software we managed to get them back.
Asher Pacey was ripping as per usual, Patch Wilson was over from Ireland (this guy charges), and a few of our guests managed to get into some bombs.
This wave is a lot heavier than anything in the Male atolls and I don't think the photos actually do it justice at all. Next time we've decided we are going to film the beast from in front because we are thinking it might tell a bit more of the story, and that's just how intimidating this wave can be when the sets roll in.
The camera was only out for about an hour or maybe even less. I sure as shit wasn't shooting and Patch who was on the camera couldn't stand it anymore and had to get some. The couple of hours before and after there were some absolute bombs. You know the old story though should of seen it earlier. //LOUIS HARRIS
