California Soul by Tatsuo Takei | NobodySurf

"This video is all about the best of California soul surfing over the last two years. Most of the footage can be seen in the NobodySurf Originals series that I made for them. This is a unique collaboration with Jitzuwa Finder, who makes custom soundtracks for NobodySurf Originals. Also, I added footage which never made it to the series to come up with something new and exciting."

Do You Think You Could Rip a Transition-Era Skip Frye? | Surfer

"On paper, the latest “Shed Sessions” installment looked to be a recipe for success. A Skip Frye-shaped, JoJo Roper-repaired transition-era Gordon & Smith selected by “Shed Sessions” impresario and Bird’s Surf Shed owner Eric “Bird” Huffman and earmarked for SoCal stylemaster Devon Howard–what could go wrong? 

While that’s surely an unimpeachable crew of San Diegans, Howard’s virgin San Clemente test-drive got off to a shaky start, the 8’3” x 23 ¼” craft causing the typically stoic stylemaster fits and leading him to call the vee-bottomed relic, “hands-down, the worst surfboard I’ve ever ridden in my life.” 

Yet, if Howard’s surfing on the obscure vessel proved anything, it’s that his version of kooking it is an average surfer’s version of style and grace. Howard’s “Shed Sessions” also proves him a truly flexible thinker, one rearing for a challenge. With Huffman in tow, Howard visits Frye, hoping the man whose hands shaped the board will help Howard take control of its proverbial wheel. When asked for his thoughts on the board, Frye’s priceless answer reminds us why time spent in the bay with your local master craftsman is always time well spent."

Los Plástico | A Search for the World's Largest Wave | Patagonia

"Five hundred miles off the Chilean coast, there’s a small island surrounded by thriving seas and powerful surf. When Ramón Navarro, Léa Brassy and Kohl Christensen traveled there recently, they learned how the island’s residents are working to protect their wild waters and wild fisheries—and why, on the remote Isla Alejandro Selkirk, the word for outsiders is plásticos."

Aequatio | The Sound of Change | Eurico Romaguera

Aequatio | The Sound of Change from Rhythm Livin on Vimeo.

"Equation comes from the Latin form Aequatio. Similarly to an expression with multiple and independent variables, Aequatio explores the mathematics of the ocean and the exponential function of surfing as a form of art.

The man from Portugal has delivered another dose of longboard poetry with filmmaker Daniel Espírito Santo. Set to the warm and angelic tones of K. Wolf and his guitar, Aequatio is five minutes of stylish surfing set at a dream-like pace and captured in ways that only compliment the individualistic nature of Eurico Romaguera. Ensure the headphones are on, your surroundings quiet and press play on his latest work."

J.J. is a true master of traditional longboarding. When San Onofre or Doheny is fun, you can see him doing crazy hang ten, heels, and fin first. If Churches is firing,  you will see J.J. riding a fish, mid length, or even finless with total control. It’s my privilege to work with him and I hope we can keep doing projects together.

Ryan Burch | NobodySurf Originals from NobodySurf on Vimeo.

"I met Ryan at Cardiff Reef around 2009. He had just shaped his longboard by himself and surfed it really well. A few years after, I visited Ryan’s shaping room and found out his passion for surfing and shaping. Four years later, Ryan was riding an asymmetrical longboard (for backside) at Swami’s. I was blown away by his creative approach for backside nose riding. Currently, Ryan is still constantly pushing the his limits of surfing and shaping. (Tatsuo Takei)"

Clovis Around Home | Deflow

Clovis around home from DEFLOW on Vimeo.

"On a short break from the winter swells, we met up with Clovis Donizetti for some classic sessions at Côte des Basques in Biarritz. With his own sound and style, Clovis showed us his ability to turn any wave into a unique dance.

We have always loved surfing for the freedom that it gives you and the lifestyle that it used to and still does represent. Styles and personalities that emerge from distant places and then connect in a little community of surf enthusiasts that are brought together through their love of the most basic aspect of surfing: having fun."

Printemps avec Margaux from DEFLOW on Vimeo.

"The beginning of spring is not always determined by fixed calendar dates. The phenological definition of spring relates to biological indicators, such as the blossoming of a range of plant species and the special smell of soil that has reached the temperature for micro flora to flourish.

For us, surfers and ocean lovers, spring starts when days get longer, winter storms stop and classic longboard sessions come back.

This time, spring began a couple of weeks ago, when we met Margaux for a classic surf in Biarritz."

After peeking the blog of my friend "Chuk" Solis - Diario de un Churfer, I couldn't resist sharing this fabulous documentary about one of the oldest brands of surfboards still in business. Founded in Hermosa Beach, California in 1959 by Bing Copeland. A very interesting Documentary that I hope you enjoy!
