He has spent the last decade exploring the furthermost reaches of the earth in search of uncharted waves. Specialising in stunning imagery of the natural world combined with the inspiring lives of the islanders he meets, Ben’s work captures independent tales of exploration, creativity and imagination, taking him to the most remote places to discover surf and stories.

Ben Weiland
From his base in sunny California, we discussed Return to the Bering, the sequel to his epic and grueling film ISLAND X, plus the value he places on storytelling, and the power of bringing people together.
We’re stoked to be taking his latest film, Return to the Bering, on the road with Ben and his partner at Fielder Films, Brian ‘Bobcat’ Davies.
“I still love the very rough, documentary style of filmmaking. That aims to tell the truth about what's happening on these trips, what it's like to go to a foreign place that you know nothing about and meet new people and see a new place.”
- Ben Weiland
“It's crazy, it's endless. I keep thinking that at some point, I'm going to reach the end of what's out there and then I realiseI’ve barely scratched the surface.”
- Ben Weiland
