Dylan Graves is passionate about surfing weird waves.

But it's not just the weirdness of the waves that attracts and inspires Graves, it's the thriving surf scenes and communities these fringe waves create. Whether that's way up a river in Indonesia, in the Great Lakes, or thanks to calving glaciers, Graves is determined to find and shine a light on these waves and the passionate surfers that ride them.

This past spring, Graves got a hot tip about a surf scene way out in...Montana. So, of course, he had to check it out.

"Surfing in Montana? YES, come on... it's 2023 you can surf anything now people," Graves writes in the description alongside this very good edit. "In this video, we dive deep into the world of surfing in a place known more for its mountains and big skies than its epic surf breaks.
