Creatures of Habit  

Nate Laverty 

Canada | 2024 | 40 

 

Creatures of Habit is a call to action – to bust out of the norm, break away from routine and try something new, explore fresh breaks, take a risk. That’s where the challenge lies – where the rewards can be reaped. 

​

Exploring the frigid fringes of Canada and Iceland, Creatures of Habit embraces the adventure and uncertainty, of seeking out unpredictable, challenging waves and inaccessible locations. Leaving behind the comforts and absolutes learned over time, it’s an ode to the rewards of embracing the cold and unknown.  


Featuring a hard charging crew Pete Devries, Redd Platenius, Cam Richards, Mathea Olin, Sanoa Olin, Andrew Jacobson, Ryan Huckabee and Dimitri Polous.

As a surfing outsider, British big wave surfer Tom Lowe paves his own path to surfing highest level through pure grit, determination, and a little help from his friends. Cutting his teeth in Ireland and pioneering unknown waves with a small group of surfers, Tom found meaning in pushing himself to the limit.
