Surfing The Wild East | Photostory
Brawls, beach cows, and a whole lot of Turkey: Enjoy Audrey Sykes’ photo reportage about surfing the Black and Caspian Seas.
I stuffed the camera under my shirt and ran. I ran uphill through the woods to our bus on the highway. Our one ally, the bus driver, was waiting there smoking cheap cigarettes as the orange sun sank behind the polluted, oil-driven Baku. That sunset was the shot that lured us into this mess, and we were missing it because our hands were almost literally tied.
We knew from the start there would be risks. It was a trip offering adventure, discovery, and a degree of danger. It’s what we wanted. Our surfers were hand-picked for it: an unforeseeable journey and the first to document pro surfing in the Black and Caspian Seas.
Locals said people drown weekly from poor swimming and strong currents. I was more afraid of being mistaken for Armenian spies – a paranoia Azeris have with outsiders. There was never a time I thought we’d die, but at one point I expected to be shot at. And when we finally did get into trouble the only person to save us… was a bus driver.
Two years back it was just a vacation idea. But the potential for more lingered in our minds, and the idea of being pioneers for surf in new places was an irresistible temptress: a trip from Bulgaria to Azerbaijan in search of surf.
Then photos and charts rolled through our inboxes: four meter waves off Baku and barrel riding in Bulgaria. In our heads we saw a wild, rugged voyage across the South Caucasus. A 3500 kilometer mission in two weeks. We would drive in a cliché surfer van. Pitch tents on the beach. Awake to the smell of a fizzled-out campfire. Swim with dolphins. Film local secrets. Capture uncharted waves off the beaten surfer path. We wanted it all.
The visas came later. Then the Facebook page. Then the athletes – pro surfers Gary Saavedra (PA), Perth Standlick (AU), and Ian Walsh (US). The dates were set, the mission took form, and the trip began in Sofia, Bulgaria, as the first documentary filming pro surfers in the Black and Caspian Seas.

According to staff members, 40kg gold and 2kg diamonds worth Rs14 crore were robbed from the shop on Monday night. Police said robbers removed the exhaust fan on the rear side of the shop and slid inside from the opening and entered the shop.
The inspiration was the 1947-'54 Chevy pickup. One area fan who fell in love with both generations is Cliff Steif. The Kildeer resident and Palatine body shop owner started off with the modern rendition, ordering the 13th 2003 SSR produced.
We thought the street parade of people with Bulgarian flags and plastic beer bottles were soccer fans. I had just met Perth in our run-down hostel that wreaked of a gas leak, and joining some Balkan hooligans seemed like a good way to kill some time
To finish off the look, there's a sports exhaust with quad tail pipes and those gorgeous set of gloss black 19-inch RS Spyder alloy wheels. We would advise going for a brighter colour as the dark blue metallic paint of our test car seemed a dull choice
Big Dog Motorcycles wrestled with Big Bear Choppers for customers' attention, the crew from the Limpnickie Lot had an edgy display with chain link fences and the makings of a working shop and the Sucker Punch Sallys booth was a great place to grab a
