Recent groundbreaking trips have been to Mauritania, Haiti, Liberia, Kenya, Oman, the Maluku Islands, South Korea and China, to name a few places where Sam has been the first longboarder to be photographed riding waves.

Here's what he says about it: "'Sliding Liberia' follows a group of young surfers to Liberia in search of more than perfect waves. As they travel through the West African country, devastated by decades of brutal civil war, they record the stories of people they meet along the way - people like Alfred, a young boy who became Liberia's first surfer after finding a bodyboard while fleeing from rebels. Besides rediscovering a world-class pointbreak that could be the best-kept secret in the surfing world, the surfers find something much more important – a way to travel responsibly in the 21st century."
