Introducing Jay Killvan’s Reunion Island via some short films that explore a volcano in the sea.

It’s rich sweet love between the moon and this deep turquoise sea of the Indian. You tell me that exists out there somewhere, perhaps far out beyond the land of the West where few seldom go?

Well it does be real, and it is not unknown, but only if you had ventured yourself you find long spinning left hand reef breaks and a spice unlike no other. Perhaps this surf adventure should be shared with a chosen other to ensure it to be real, if you do decide to follow such a path like this tale here, if you journey beyond where the ocean meets the sea, and do go further into the great Western than anyone you thought you knew has, you too will know it to be true … but only if you return.

As be warned of a looming pelagic Hell, riddled with iniquitous creatures with little remorse. To ride a wave in the light of this moon is known to be suicide, courageous men have made a rapid descent into this paradise’s curious basement, and you will too if you’re the three percent fool. For the immediate days of this journey, casualties abound, fear surrounded every stroke, and minds were compromised with what black teeth this paradise does tell.

Though it is not all dire, as honey rum and cinnamon, sunny ginger skin and jet-black frizz mops be alive on these streets. Steaming hot plates serving divine and an infectious celebration grows like a vine from each sharp turn in the road, all to the beat from the ever-marching southern swells.

Mind you, this is one land which lay anchored to the sea floor yet floats within a cloud. As an Indian mystery it offers little definition, to folk like us anyhow. Such a journey makes story telling as indurate as the volcanic Earth this land is built from. And with a fable sea, life here is adrift like the child’s mind in a book story.

While it takes a raconteur to return with treasure and tale that spills victorious drama, your own path to tiny Bourbon Island, if that does turn to fact, may see you to never return, lost in the deep blue turquoise sea, forever.

Let this be a warning, enjoy this here coming treasure, and soak in the tale, yet know this mysterious surf adventure be this way for good reason. Introducing Jay Killvan’s Reunion Island, via some short films that explore a volcanic island surrounded by a surfing sea.
