Of course, Matty and Heather rode out their journey<br />

on more than just a few surfboards. Luckily for us,<br />

after growing sick of leaving tyre tracks and plumes of<br />

petrol behind them, they eventually downshifted from<br />

motorbikes to riding on horseback.<br />

Oh, those horses. If you asked anyone what their<br />

favourite part of the film was, they would most likely<br />

say Blacky, Pichi, Salvador, and sweet old Harimau.<br />

They simply made the film as memorable as it was,<br />

with their experiences being as entertaining and<br />

touching as the couples’ were.<br />

Matty explained it best when he said the horses<br />

amplified their emotions throughout the entire trip.<br />

“Just knowing there was a<br />

traversable coastline that<br />

long in the world, that also<br />

copped swell all year round,<br />

was enough of a reason to grab<br />

a board and go.”<br />
