The 101 South - Episode 3 - Mexico from surfstitch on Vimeo.
As surfers, we are always dreaming of finding that next epic surf spot... A place where the waves are always perfect, and the pressures and monotony of life simply don't exist. And, for us Aussie surfers, there's a certain romantic appeal to that stretch from booming California to uncharted Mexico.

In this episode, we follow Jack Lynch down the 101 with his mates Nate Foster and Alex Knost, searching for perfect surf and, dare we say, finding it!

Bruce Brown | Part One


Bruce Brown, Part One from The Surfer's Journal on Vimeo.
Quietly dwelling in a hidden arroyo near Santa Barbara (and in striking distance of his favorite ranchland surf spot) Brown spends his days with family and his collection of motorized hobby projects.

Bruce Brown aw-shucks his way through every interview he’s ever sat for. He leaves it for others to list his accomplishments and influence. If you’ve read the Bruce features in TSJ, you know the bullet points: Oscar-nominated director of The Endless Summer; commercial sword fisherman; pillar of the apocryphal Dana Point Mafia. And, like a tagline from a Dos Equis commercial, Steve McQueen was his desert racing wingman.

For this episode of POV, filmmaker Chris Malloy—no slouch himself in the surf-and-turf arts—sits a spell with the legendary lensman. Discussion turns quickly from the predictable and into the details of early bootstraps surf filmmaking.

Charming, self-effacing, and as real as they come, we hope you enjoy this two-part portrait of the master.

"Day Glo,
Chrome window,
Shapes in the clouds,
the hungry shoosh for miles around,
upstream, jumpin' out of the water,
gills in the air,
I got many people to thank,
but I can't write letters,
I can't write letters.

My friends on the edge of the old graveyard,
they sit on an old grey porch,
and watch foxes play,
and juggle wine,
the kind of wine that you don't mind spillin',
that you don't mind spillin'.

Well I fill out the forms and I make my death come slowly.
One at a time some kind of record unrollin'.
'You best begin sometime,' she said, 'but you can't start until you're ready.'
Yet it seemed to be controlled,
somehow bowed her fingernails, eyelashes and all the essential parts.
We talk about dreams a lot.
She reads our fortunes out loud,
I think it's funny and I go stay with her,
and I go stay with her,
and I don't mind dyin',
when I make love to her,
to her, to her.
Day Glo.

Under a wall of sound,
a riverbed of clay,
the distance between us stays,
close, but not close,
far, but not too far,
away.
Close, but not close,
far, but not too far,
away.

Day Glo."

Weekend Wanderings


Weekend Wanderings from Biscuit Dunker Productions on Vimeo.
Autumn in the southwest of England has been a funny one so far. After weeks of flatness, a fun, clean groundswell appeared on the horizon to restore everyone's stoke.

Ben Haworth decided to make the most of it and spent a weekend wandering the coastline searching for some uncrowded fun.
