Batik – an Indonesian technique of wax-resist dyeing applied to whole cloth made by drawing dots and lines of the resist with a spouted tool called a tjanting, or by printing the resist with a copper stamp called a cap. The applied wax resists dyes and therefore allows the artisan to color selectively by soaking the cloth in one color.

“ S O U L R E B E L” By Beau Flemister When we met Ivah Wilmot for the very first time a few years back during Roark’s visit to Jamaica, it was quite obvious that this young man was special and some would describe as a “Future Mystic.” Born into Jamaica’s royal surf family, Ivah is a talented skateboarder, professional surfer, and talented recording artist. He’s the kind of kid that can adapt to any rough road travel that often takes us down, - it’s been epic to see the kind of energy Ivah attracts from complete strangers along the way. Singing a song, shirtless and barefoot while skating in a public square in Hong Kong. Walking in awe through ancient castles in Scotland. Weaving through tube after tube amongst Javanese islands. No stage is too big, no weather is too inhospitable and no local too salty to feel the positive vibrations. Ivah is a modern inspiration in the global community, in the footsteps of his fellow countryman of old.

As a brand, we are fortunate enough to travel the world each season embracing new cultures, climates, and people along the way. Our motto has been to return the campsite in better condition than we arrived, which comes in different forms based on our journey. With the frantic, clogged artery-like jalans (roads) of Java not making our commute west easy, we hopped on the motos for what became a 7-hour survival race in the dark, dodging potholes and flashflood puddles into the villages of Banten where we provided clean water and filtration systems to a handful of villages, plus modern educational equipment for elementary students (and of course a quick skate lesson from Jamie Thomas). It was game-changer for the people we met and for our spirits, teaching us that for all we take in life, giving is certainly the greatest drug of all. This season our Waves 4 Water partnership continues, as we will be raising funds to go back and implement centralized raincatchment systems, providing a community hub for clean water source.
Our motto has been to return the campsite in better condition than we arrived, which comes in different forms based on our journey.� Read more at roark.com 18

The Summits and Valleys of a Violent Desert Island No one said it yet but we’re all thinking it:
CHAPTER V
“Just Dreaming” By Beau Flemister
this jungle is trying to kill us. Each step feels precarious on this island. The stones in each stream slippery with moss, the trail just barely recognizable, if existent at all. Vines hanging from every tree are covered with thorns clawing at our bodies, tearing at our t-shirts and hats as we pass. Mosquitoes (malarial we’ve been told) swarm us, desperately attacking our DEET covered flesh. We pause for a water break, halfway up what we believe is Mount Raksa and even louder than our labored breathing is the drone of the jungle, insects buzzing in unison psychotically. Birds chirp and caw incessantly, and occasionally something large rustles in the bushes which we only hope is one of the many wild Javan deer we’ve seen from the boat and not a tiger who took the swim across from nearby Ujung Kulon National Park. Some of us are nearly loopy from the heat. Parker’s barfed twice. Rod’s knee is acting up again. Between sips, I watch an ant stalk a bug, latch onto its belly and disembowel it, devouring its insides while the insect struggles in its grasp, still alive. This is nature at its most violent.
Somewhere in the Sunda Strait off the coast of West Java, the legendary caldera of Krakatoa looms in the distance as we sail through a peach colored evening. Bintang cans crush in the compactor like clockwork every 30 seconds as Captain Muz reckons that with the looks of these swell lines, an undisclosed left-hand reef could be cracking tomorrow morning when we arrive. Parker, Ivah, and Nate are already unzipping their boardbags to unearth new whips, running their hands down the length of those polyurethane curves. The captain’s overnight gamble would in fact be rewarded...
How bad is it?” I ask Nate, craning my head around, surely, a mantra uttered by those before us who’ve surfed this razor-sharp patch of reef.” Read more at roark.com

1 Faith is a Hell of a Drug. I struggle to recall ever witnessing faith stronger than that of AVG swimming some of the sharkiest African waves on the planet, with no visible signs of duress or concern or even mild anxiety. He believes someone’s looking out for him. And he has the photos to prove it.
2 You’re Only as Good as Your Morning Cup. The first one up, kettle on and coffee coming. And no one does coffee, in even the most remote locations, like AVG. He’s got an uber-small solar powered burr grinder going, and gasketreleased reusable filters for his space-aged polymer Aeropress, basically the most civilized and efficient and delicious way to extract the single origin coffee AVG brought to whatever third-world country we were in from whatever far-flung East African adventure he was most recently on.
LESSONS FROM
The Most Reliable Surf Photographer in the World Words by Stab’s Editor at Large, Ashton Goggins Photos by Kim Bouchier and Andrew King
3 Pack Like Your Life Depends on it. AVG is a stylish survivalist, his aesthetic the zenith of true utilitarian brilliance, and nearly every trip we’ve had him on he has been the most prepared person by a country mile. His ultralight packs are a venerable orgy of functional, multiuse gear, honed to a science over years in the bush, desert, and sub-Saharan environments.
4 It’s Who, Not What, You Know? While Alan is more than capable handling himself in the most critical of conditions, he’s also a firm believer in the importance of phoning a friend, consulting local guides, and his effectiveness owes much to the information he gleans from his reliable network of stringers, local heavies, and recurrent hosts in the locations he frequents.
If you were to pool the best globe trotting surfers in the world over the last twenty years, I’d say there’s an 83% chance most have had a defining experience with a man named Alan Van Gysen, usually involving him effortlessly navigating some opaque, impossibly bureaucratic third world process, or performing some wildly dangerous trip- and/or life-saving act of valor requiring intense skill and willpower and faith and patience and cross-cultural emotional intelligence. Ask Jordy Smith about the time he almost single-handedly saved him and the Stab in the Dark crew. The man known formally as AVG is a wildly capable, thoroughly seasoned, religiously disciplined (and deeply religious) South African surf and adventure photographer, and one of the most trusted, sought-after, and well deservingly compensated cats in the game. Why? In a world where photographers claim their work is diminishing in value, Alan Van Gysen has made himself invaluable, through a combination of unrivaled reliability, and an ungodly sprawling survivalist skill set that can pretty much get him and his crew out of whatever situation they find themselves, a skill set earned chasing waves to places like Mozambique or the Transkei or the Skeleton Coast, Ghana or pretty much anywhere else in Africa.
