On August 13th 2023, Steph was on a surf trip with friends to celebrate her boyfriends 30th birthday. On a small wooden speedboat, they left the island of Nias for Pingang in the Banyaks. As Steph dangled her hands in the calm water thinking of the hammocks, cocktails and surf sessions in her near future, they could see a storm brewing in the distance, but had no idea of the chaos that would forever change their lives.
