During our recent run through Bali, we ran into a few friends who are doing rad things. Surfer and shaper Ellis Ericson has pretty much nailed it: set up shop in Bali, shaping whatever he wants, tearing in warm, fun waves and collaborating with a variety of passers through Bali — which we can confidently say is quite literally everyone.

In this episode of Color Me In, we grabbed a couple Bintangs, Beau Foster and scootered over to Ellis’ magic workshop to check it out. It won’t take long to see and hear just how liberating it can be to do things for yourself — on and off a surfboard. Plus we got some seriously fun sessions at Canngu.
