Chris Burkard was quickly becoming one of the go-to surf photographers years ago. But it was becoming monotonous to him, despite traveling to these exotic locations with their fancy hotels and WiFi. Then a surf trip to Iceland of all places changed his perspective on it, as well as the places he would continue to travel to.

If you're not familiar with the surfer-owned Komune Beach Resort in Bali, then let this be the introduction to your next vacation destination.

And they just recently hosted the QS1000 Komune Bali Pro in pumping Bali surf, which was won by pro surfer Taj Burrow. The Mad Hueys captured some incredible drone footage of the entire event, and wrapped it into this nice little package for everyone. Thanks guys, now when can we book our trip there?!
