The Now: Ben Weiland

SURFER Magazine presents "The Now: Ben Weiland." It was a defining moment in modern surf exploration. Alex Gray stood on a rock shelf along the frozen coastline of Alaska’s Aleutian Islands, hands raised in rapture as a double-overhead tube reeled down the reef 10 yards in front of him. Gray, along with Josh Mulcoy and Pete Devries, were the first to ever paddle out at the Arctic slab, and for the next four hours, it would be all theirs. But while Gray and the rest of the crew were threading icy barrels, Ben Weiland was unceremoniously tucked into the cliffside 200 yards above, steadying his tripod against gusts of stinging wind while trying not to disturb the herd of elk grazing nearby. You didn’t see him in the magazine feature or subsequent film, The Cradle of Storms, because he was the one behind the lens. But the discovery of this perfect wave was all his.
