The infrastructure we often take for granted—like surf shops, guidebooks, and webcams—doesn't exist. The new trailer for The Accord tells the story of Icelandic surfers that brave the elements in their home country to ride some of the best waves in the world.

The wind is unpredictable, moody, and relentlessly strong, but the riders explore the island and find some amazing spots anyway.
