Being out on the ocean seems like a different world to being in the mountains and the backcountry, but there is also a lot of symmetry. They each have their own biorhythms from a motherly embrace to tempestuous wrath. What I love about being out in nature is that you are at the mercy of your own decision making.

When your location is a snowy mountain in the winter the obstacles are pretty extreme.

I actually enjoyed getting lost in Japan's backroads, finding myself in a wasabi farm.

Experiencing the world through Endless secondhand information isn't enough. If we want authenticity we have to initiate it.

While researching the project [The Fourth Phase] I stumbled across this amazing research by a scientist called Dr Gerard Pollack who had done studies on what he called a 'fourth phase' of water.

When I finally got to go ride the mountains in Japan, it blew my mind.

It's probably the most personal project [The Fourth Phase] I've done, which changed the dynamic a little bit.
