About the film

Stepping Grounds follows Famous rider Jordy Collins and Kieran Anderson as they leave the crowds behind and head north in search of cold, empty barrels. They revisit old spots, find open space and score open tubes in Pacific Northwest water. The film was shot and edited by Cameron Vurbeff.

Jordy Collins

Jordy is part of the Famous family and is known for chasing cold-water tubes up north. See the wax, traction and gear he rides on his Famous picks page, and meet the rest of the riders on the Famous family page.

Wax for cold-water surf trips

Pacific Northwest water usually sits well below 60°F, which makes it Famous Cold surf wax territory. Lay down a coat of Famous Basecoat first, top it with Cold, and pack a wax comb to rough it up between sessions. Not sure which temperature you need? Check the surf wax temperature guide.
