Tales written by Gavin McClurg and photos by Jody MacDonald on board the 5 year world expedition The Best Odyssey and then Cabrinha Quest- another 6 years of kitesurfing, surfing, and roaming the world by sail!
Join the crew from Best Kiteboarding in this wild swing around the island of Pohnpei in Micronesia
Colliding with a reef, surfing big waves, kiteboarding in Micronesia and swimming with Manta Rays packs a hell of a punch on this wild epic

Somewhere in the past few weeks this train got off the tracks at reality and hasn’t returned. I keep waiting for the hammer to fall, to wake from the dream, for something to happen that is just hum drum. The expedition peaked right after Christmas at The Edge of the Earth, went completely over the edge with a bunch of the world’s best in Legends at the Abyss and though I don’t remember much as I was pretty sick, continued the exponential climb in a Matter of Perspective. The quality of the winds and waves in the Marshall Islands were simply insane and we seriously considered just halting the whole thing there as I thought there would never be chance to find better.
Things don’t always go according to plan, even when you’re kiting and surfing the best conditions we’ve found on the expedition

We score the best waves and most consistent winds of the expedition in the Marshall Islands
This past fall, Joaquin asked if I would be interested in joining him on the Best Odyssey.
We take to the skies for the first paragliding that has ever been done in Tonga. Insane images.
We go as remote as you can in the northern Cook Islands- a place only a handful of boats have ever sailed
