HAULING ON A SURF/SNOWBOARD
So the dudes at Signal Snowboards have a classic video segment called Every Third Thursay. Basically they come up with a spontaneous theme for creating a board project and go out and build it! This time the video surrounds the crew attempting to create a surfboard that also functions as a snowboard. Huge collaborative effort, and it actually paid off in the end. The amount of stoke this random project generated from everyone involved is inspiring. Very cool.
A FEW ISLANDS SOUTH OF SOUTH, SOUTH AFRICA...THAT ORTA DO IT.
In our eyes, there's no debating this next topic. Surf photographers don't need to and shouldn't hand out wave locations when publishing photographs online or anywhere. * [ Insert something corny about how a picture paints more than 1000 words].
SMALL PROJECTS PART 4 - ZAK OGRAM - SHAPER / SURFER
When I was getting a bit long in the tooth for competitions over here in the West of Aus, I started getting my ass kicked by a young Dunsborough ripper by the name of Zak Ogram. Good air game, style, and cultured beyond his years at threading needles down Rabbit hill.
DON'T BE A COCK IN THE DRINK
A friend of mine wrote me today with a few words about a punch up in the surf somewhere in West Oz. He didn't bother to go into much detail... I don't think the beef really fazed him. We'd both witnessed surf brawls before, laughed about 'em and have even been on the receiving end of an aggressive surf antagonist looking to mince some man meat. This time I decided to invest a little additional thought into the topic of surf aggression in an attempt to encourage harmony in the ocean and deter the fire bugs.
IMAGINE SURFING AS SADHANA (2000) GARTH DICKENSON EXCERT
Passionate filmmaker Marshall K. Hatori's film, Imagine: Surfing As Sadhana, is a left of centre documentary exposing some unreal footage and surfing personalities. Whilst entertaining viewers with unique crew riding epic waves, Hatori attempts to discover and exemplify the reasons why we as individuals, and as a collective, pursue surfing. Leisure, money and finding inner peace all come into play. But ultimately there is no right or wrong reason(s) behind why people go surfing. One of the key characters we're introduced to is Australian, Garth Dickenson. A personal favourite.
LOOKING BACK @ OURS
East coast photographer Jason Corroto takes us back to a heaving session at Ours that went down mid 2011.
SMALL PROJECTS PART 3 - CLAY COMES TO STAY - INTERVIEW WITH FILM CREATOR - TOM JENNINGS
Ask any muppet who has sprouted in the city of Perth and most will say it's far from a stimulating arena, particularly if you're somewhat dedicated to surfing. Two foot Trigg point with 80 other punters, no thanks. Perth might lack the best waves on the planet, but it sure as hell breeds more than it's fair share of surf inspired, creative folk. This is part 3 of Small Projects, where we take you behind the eyes of 23 year old filmmaker Tom Jennings and his latest project, Clay Comes To Stay.
7 MILE - JOHN JOHN'S DREAM YEAR IN HAWAII - TWENTY 11
Had the pleasure of watching John John Florence (the youngest contestant to have won the prestigious Vans World Cup of Surfing at Pipe), surfing in West Oz last year, but I'd trade that any day to catch him on his day at home on the North Shore. This vid - 7 Mile - John's Hawaii Season - is about as close as I'll get for now. Epic clip.
RY AND DINO SURFING IN DARWIN? HAHA
Lets see, how about we name this spot..."The Stretch", Darwin Northern Territory, that will do it. Shot these photos this morning with Ry and Dino.
NOOSA TO BYRON
Here are few words and images summing up the good times I enjoyed over the Christmas to New Years break.
