Video: Surfing In Alaska With Ian Walsh — Brothers On The Run Episode 4
In the fourth episode of Brothers on the Run, Eric and John Jackson jump ahead a few steps on their itinerary for their trip from Alaska to South America. Why wait for the warm weather down south when you can ride a bone-chilling river-mouth break in Alaska? John may have felt a bit more nipped since he's currently recovering from bone-fractures (Gnarly air to unintentional rock-bonk in Episode 1). Although out of their element, with pointers from pro surfer Ian Walsh, the brosephs manage to do quite alright - excellent example at 5min, 10 sec. After all, Ian owed them one since they recently gave him the ride of his life on a big AK powder spine in episode 2.
Luckily they had 2-3 foot waves to practice on before a solid day of overhead sets rolled in. Everyone looks identical in a full-suit, hood and booties - to spot Ian, look for the only one throwing 360s. Travis Rice also jumped on-board and brought along some classic commentary: "End of the road, my ass. We can take a boat!"
Want to see John Jackson in a bathrobe? Spectators at Alyeska Resort's Pond Skim probably didn't either. Fortunately for your sake, that's how this episode ends.
New 'Brothers on the Run' episodes release every other tuesday. Don't lose track of the Johnsons' shred reports during their epic road trip from Alaska to Chile.
