Watch: Behind the Scenes of an Indo Strike

Last week we shared this clip of Jordy Smith, Caitlin Simmers, and a few other O'Neill stars dismantling perfect waves during a strike mission to Indonesia.

A straight up rip clip featuring CT stars, it's a great way to get hyped for your next surf.

Above, we see the same surfers on the same trip, but in an entirely different light.

"Apart from the surf, Strike Missions generally yield all kinds of memories that, when shared in good company, will likely last a lifetime," writes O'Neill. "The post-surf beers, the meals after a long day of shooting, and the morning wave checks are all moments that are sometimes taken for granted when on surf trips. Why? It's easy to get caught up in all things surf. How were the clips today? What's the surf going to be like tomorrow? Airdrop me this, send me that, etc. etc. Sure, none of these things should be written off, it is a surf trip after all, but there are so many more moments from in-between that often go undocumented. These are those moments. We hope you enjoy."
