The gallery
Everything, unretouched.
Shot here over a couple of seasons by people who were mostly meant to be surfing. Rooms, the house, the water, and the bits in between.
None of this is stock and none of it is generated. If a room looks like that in a photograph, it looks like that when you open the door, which is a lower bar than it should be and one a lot of places still miss.
The rooms
Five private rooms, one dorm.
Teak beds, marble floors, A/C in all of them, and Kuma's own-label soap in the bathrooms.
The house
Doors with names on them.
The water
Where most of it happens.
Sand drills, first waves, and the walk back up with a board under your arm.
Pop-up practice, face full of concentration
Boards laid out for a group
Out the back, waiting
Riding one in
Up and steady
One of the instructors
A kid getting a shove into a wave
Carrying boards down at first light
Everything else
Evenings, backwaters, the bowl.
Moving pictures
Four short films, with the sound on if you want it.
Shot on the same phone-and-a-good-camera basis as everything else here. Tap one.
The ice bath
Loud the first time, quieter the second.
Flow Cult
The bowl round the corner, most evenings.
A day at the house
Boards, water, and the shade under the thatch.
Surf Jam
The one weekend a year everybody turns up.
