Exploring the Coast.
The best way to experience a multi day surf adventure on the Milo, exploring the many miles of coastline and unfound surf breaks that Alaska has to offer.
We are surfers and stand up paddlers so most of our trips are based around water sports – given what the ocean and weather have to offer. Whatever your outdoor passion, we want to help you make it happen in the coastal wilds of Alaska. We love to support filming, photography and journalism of all kinds. Our skill-set and the capabilities of the Milo don’t end here though. Whatever you do.
We’ll take your schedule and put it together with the weather and tides and customize your expedition. We won’t ever push our luck with weather, so while we might experience rough seas (especially if we’re on the surf hunt) we’ll always keep safety first. This means that your itinerary is subject to change..so plan on that possibility. — Capt Mike
