Camille and Jesse prepare their surf gear from a dinghy beside their sailboat Stella while anchored off a tropical island in Indonesia.

Chasing Waves Around the World

In this episode of SeaPeople Live, Logan sits down with Camille and Jesse from Stella Overboard, two surfers who turned a childhood dream of owning a sailboat into a way to search for waves around the world.

Today, they're aboard their Sun Odyssey 39, Stella, sailing through remote Indonesia. For the past six months, much of their life has revolved around one mission: follow the swell and see what they can find.

They Bought a Boat to Find Waves

For Jesse, surfing was always the first passion.

The dream was to eventually combine it with another: owning a sailboat and using it to explore places that were difficult to reach from land.

Then he met Camille.

The two met at a backpacker hostel in Australia, traveled together in a tiny van and eventually started talking seriously about buying a boat. Camille initially thought they needed lessons and years of sailing experience first. Jesse's philosophy was simpler: buy one and figure it out.

And that's essentially what they did.
