Chris Burkard explains his yearning for wide open spaces in his TED talk, a personal crusade to explore and find quiet places, the most harsh cold water regions imaginable.

With breathtaking landscapes, remote and desolate places, the highest waves, the most spectacular jumps and a story of surfing to the ends of the world. High Tide is Chris’s photographic homage to surfing in extreme conditions, made by an international surfer and his team. High Tide, A Surf Odyssey follows the surfers in their epic journeys and achievements in the most diverse land- and seascapes. This book portrays the ultimate battle between the elements and mankind: the water and the waves against the board and man.
