    Dude! WTF's wrong wit you?
    I mean - you nailed it. I'm speechless.
    I mean how did you do it - make a surfing film without destroying the soul of surfing?
    You hit it right on. Not many can do that. Shame on you Dude.

    Surf on Brudda. Forever. And Forever... And Forever...

    Have dreamt about surfing for so many years... This video was the last drop. This year bought a board and caught my first Baltic sea waves. What can I say, it's fucking harder than it looks.

    Rincon, yeah, so awesome. Once my buddy Bob Bowditch and myself at Rincon in the morning goofing around in 2 ft swells. No one there but us. Like magic, 4-6 ft lines just start cranking in. We had the whole place to ourselves for 2 hours before the word got out. Your film was beautifully done - love the stunning photography - great mix of tempo, great music! Bravo!

    Rincon is so classic. I remember seeing it for the first time in 1963 with all the cars parked along the seawall. I knew I'd seen heavan.

      I learned longboarding at Santa Cruz, 1966-1968. My 1st board was a Gordon & Smith, a couple of pop outs. It was fun. As kid my parents drove along Hwy 1 pass Malibu. I got stoked seeing people surf. The old thought this was BS. He was a bit of a hard nose guy. Didn't want his kid trying new things. Did you every try County LIne?

    I was a surfer in the 70s and a documentary filmmaker for national TV the rest of the time. This is the best surf film I have seen really ! It captures the mood of slowness that is also surf as on a wave time is stretched and it is not always as brutal as most surf film tend to be. I guess it has to do with some macho instinct to show how dangerous it can be. I remember when I first saw big waves in El Salvador and my friend Bruno told me “you know what when you are at the top it’s not that steep” That is when time stretch...

    Jeff liked how you show that almost no wave goes unridden on the point breaks where you've let three rides show at once instead of just zooming real far in. Nice soundtrack too

    The first time i saw Kelly Slater surf Rincon, I didn't recognize him. All I could blurt out was...."that guy is a ninja!" (with a southern drawl). The locals had a good laugh and then they informed me who it was.
    Nice footage btw!

  • @chrisjohnson8779
    @chrisjohnson8779 4 роки тому

    Great music creates the mellow feel, 5 minutes was enough of the surf but the sounds kept me. These are all places that I hung from the late 60's through the 90's, it finally got too crowded. There are great spots in Baja, CA that I like now, like turning back the clock. Born and still live in So. CA but head South of the border for a couple weeks every couple months for beach time. Thanks for not showing the finger birds in the water or boards parting hair. Also for the memories and the sounds, great job!

    Wow . Soul surfing. I grew up in Hermosa Beach on 2nd st we all were soul surfers that was back in the 60's AND 70s. YOU HAD people like Mike Danune, Bill Schulz Tony Malanowitz and many others that were some of the greatest surfers I've ever seen . Look at Redondo break wall in 69 people you never heard of.

    Nice shots. I lived in California in the mid 70's and early 80's and it was great. Glad I had the experience. Went back to San Diego a couple weeks ago and it was fun but I'd never live there. Like I tell people.. there are beautiful places in California and the weather can be nice- but it's full of (spiritual) snakes!

    Cool stuff, thanks for sharing! Few comments: the way it's framed and edited is refreshing vs. the tons of videos made by and for brands.
    It also makes it difficult to know where you should focus on when watching it, sometimes 2 actions are taking place at the same time, but maybe it's a trick to get your counter growing :-)
    Surfing on the Basque Coast in France where it can be crowded too, your images picture a peaceful atmosphere with more friendliness between surfers, especially when several riders are literally on the same wave!
