Taiwan

After the worldwide success of their first series, the boys are back — this time cycling and chasing waves across the tropical island of Taiwan.

Taiwan was still a relatively unknown surf destination in 2015, but Rian and Dylan quickly discovered it was packed with untapped potential.

The adventure begins in Taipei, where they link up with the fast-growing Taipei Fixie Crew. With the help of Anje from the online TV show Let’s View The World, they set off on an epic east coast journey full of highs, lows, and unexpected surprises.

Pedalling along Taiwan’s stunning coastline, they ride past dramatic backdrops like the towering Qingshui Cliffs, the breathtaking Taroko Gorge, and the high-altitude Wuling Pass at 2,375 metres. Battling a Category 5 typhoon and climbing some of East Asia’s highest roads with surfboards strapped to their bikes, the duo hunt for hidden waves in surprising locations.

As always, Rian and Dylan keep things entertaining with their unique mix of adventure, surf, and travel storytelling.

Series 2 - 4 Episodes

Sendiri

A solo bicycle and surfing adventure through Bali, Nusa Lembongan, Lombok, and Sumbawa.

"Sendiri" is the Indonesian word for “alone” or “by yourself.”

In 2009, Dylan and his best mate Rian completed an epic bicycle journey across Indonesia chasing waves for their TV series Eat.Sleep.Surf. Years later, Dylan decided to continue that journey on his own.

This solo expedition sees Dylan cycling further east from Bali, exploring the islands of Nusa Lembongan, Lombok, and West Sumbawa. Acting as a one-man camera crew, he films the entire trip using two cameras while chasing some of Indonesia’s most iconic surf breaks, including Lacerations, Desert Point, Padang Padang, Bingin, and Scar Reef.

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US

How can I begin to describe my time with Poveda... It was simply life-changing! I always imagined that Bali would be a breathtaking destination, but thanks to Poveda, I was able to not just experience the culture, but have once-in-a-lifetime memories. I got so much more than I ever anticipated from my holiday.
