  • This award winning film profiles surfer Léa Brassy, who grew up in northern France. By the time she was 17, she moved to southern France for the warm water surf. Accustomed to a life on the road, her nomadic lifestyle takes a pause at the Unstad break in the Lofoten Islands in Northern Norway. Trading in her bikini for a thick wetsuit, she connects with the surrounding mountains, Arctic surf, and simple living. Whether it’s paddling hard for a wave, or chasing after a passion - Léa reminds us that if the timing is right, we have to Catch It.
    Directed and Produced by Sarah Menzies, Let Media
    Presented by Patagonia
    Featuring Léa Brassy
    Edited by Avery Milo Parducci
    Color by John Davidson
    Additional Footage from Vincent Colliard

    I always go back to this video to remind myself that life doesn't have to be that complicated. Thanks Patagonia!

    Brave and Wise woman who seeks life as it comes. Accustomed to what LIFE down the road has, where she's connected from the Mountain down to the flow of water out to the sea. That's TRUE passion of living.

    WOW!! MAGNIFIQUE!! Lea, you are such inspiring and right about living simple life. I surf mostly North California breaks where there are cold waters, sharks and fog, but surfing in Norway, under snow, cold water and air is a totally different animal. One word: RESPECT!

    I never tire of these Patagonia shorts... they give you a nice positive kick up the ass when you're feeling jaded with life, good stuff. But where to find these non-materialistic real women?

    • @johannahallbauer9063
      @johannahallbauer9063 8 років тому +5

      +Andy Ballard - they are everywhere :) - but since these girls focus on the(ir) inside instead of the(ir) outside, it's a little bit more challenging to find them -

    Haha, love the tongue-in-cheek title, "catch it" haha must be alluding to all of the water flushing into the poorly designed wetsuits. If you want to catch a full soggy load of water in your suit, "catch it" with a patagonia R4, just $550!

    Surfers should keep their secrets deeply hidden, not reveal them to corporations. The less people that know where these jewels lie, the better. It protects them.

    I understand this is a commercial... but shes wearing all brand new patagonia jackets, sweaters, wetsuit. She claims she owns little stuff, but what happened to all her older good before the sponsorship? In the landfill I'm guessing.

    I hope Norwegian customs don't watch this video. Otherwise they might knock on her door and enquire as to why she has moved to Norway, but not re-registered her van and paid the tax due.

    • @oblekt74
      @oblekt74 8 років тому

      +jarvinho One year is legal if you are a permanent citizen of another country where the car is registered and you're only visiting Norway. Second year you need a temporary permit. So, basically, she can drive her french car for at least two years without any real hassle.

    • @jarvinho
      @jarvinho 8 років тому

      +Jonas Oblekt Those rules apply to permanent residents of another country. However, she states in the video that she arrived in Lofoten in 2010 which implies that she is now resident in Norway and thus obliged to import the vehicle. Of course, she could move back and forth out of Norway with the van and if she spends less than 6 months of the year in Norway she is not resident and, provided the van doesn't stay there when she is not there, there would be no need to re-register it.
