In the summer of 2007, brothers Ryan and Bryson Robertson and good friend Hugh Patterson began their dream and departed La Paz, Mexico embarking on a three-year circumnavigation of the globe. We are surfers, sailors, and explorers and our adventure is a voyage of exploration, research, and education. Our dream to circumnavigate the globe to document the state of the oceans and beaches we visit, search out the best waves and meet new people has become reality.

We want to inspire every one we connect with to consider their personal impact on the oceans by taking more care in how they live on a day-to-day basis. Here you can learn about the research goals of the trip, find out about the crew, and read about our motivations.
