"Gastrologging" is an audiovisual project that encompasses two pleasure-evoking concepts: gastronomy and logging. We have carefully selected attractive places from which to film surfing and each clip is preceded by a culturally relevant gastronomic introduction. In this way, we aim to balance the importance of the surfing images with respect to the cultural character that each spot carries.

VANS SALINAS LONGBOARD SURFING FESTIVAL 2012

VANS SALINAS LONGBOARD SURFING FESTIVAL from Where is Asturias on Vimeo.
The Vans Salinas Longboard festival is an annual surfing event that takes place in the seaside town of Salinas on the last week in July. The word “Festival” is the key here because even though surfing competitions are held, this four day event offers a heady mix of good surf, good sounds, great people and lots and lots of parties in a way only the Spanish can do best.

The festival has been running for 11 years now and is considered to be the largest of its kind in Europe and is in the top three Longboard events in the world. This is very apparent by the eclectic mix of people attending who, along with the locals, create a nice relaxed vibe that invites you to stay even if you are not that interested in surfing.
Grab a beer, find a nice spot to perch and just observe.

The festival is a bit of a Mecca for longboarders and since it was first held back in 2001 (which back then was more of a reunion than a festival), the party has grown and grown and is now marked indelibly on the calendars of both pro’s and amateurs alike.

The Vans Salinas Longboard festival is just one of many surfing events that take place throughout Asturias and visitors should also keep in mind that classic waves such as Rodiles and Xago are just a short distance away. The festival is a great highlight when planning a full-on surf trip along the awesome Asturian coastline.

O P.O.O.C. (Plano Ordenamento da Orla Costeira) projecta fechar o mar DESDE BUARCOS ATÉ AO CABO MONDEGO com paredões de 4 metros PARALELOS à costa. O fim das rochas, da biodiversidade, da paisagem cultural, da economia de subsistência de dezenas de familias E O FIM DA NOSSA IDENTIDADE. Contra este cenário apocaliptico, lancemos uma plataforma de cidadania supra-partidária. A cidade tem que ser ouvida sobre isto, tem que recusar este projecto absurdo. Para breve mais acções, informações etc... entretanto vejam ao minuto 3'45'' o que fui sabendo e o que pretendo fazer, com a vossa ajuda, juntos..."

Foam Day

[LORNE] Foam Day from Alexander Cleland on Vimeo.
5th June, 2012: We gathered for the morning surf check at Lorne Point, then my mates Jack and Moona suggested we hit north Lorne to see if the conditions were right for "Foam Day". The stunning display occurred thanks to the raw swell agitating the water, strong southeasterly winds and over 150 millimetres of rain washing down a large amount of organic material into the turbid waters of Louttit Bay. We only get to observe this phenomenon every few years, and this was the most impressive we had seen so it was a easy choice to wettie up and get the cameras out. I'd like to credit Jack's rad camera skills for the pioneering concept of "foam tunnel" vision that was captured.

Track is "Sail" by Ash Grunwald (originally by Awolnation) from the album "Trouble's Door" (2012).

Im slowly finding my way around Premier Pro and having fun trying to edit!
hope you enjoy.

Artist: BEST COAST
Song: WHEN IM WITH YOU

"Tyson Kozuszek is a young, creative surfer who blends his expressions through wave riding, music, and design. His positive mindset and overall stoke are inspiring and when he reached out to us to check out some of his work, we decided we needed to dig in a bit deeper to see everything he is up to. What we uncovered is that he is a big promoter of being resourceful to do the things you want in life. There's a lot at our fingertips. Sometimes we just have to think outside the box."

THE GLIDE

"Most surfers can probably remember back to the time when they caught their first ride on the unbroken face of a wave, and almost certainly can all recall that first stoke inducing feeling. This is THE GLIDE.

As time goes on, though, and we seemingly progress as surfers, things tend to get a little more complicated.

Influences ranging from fellow surfers at the beach to pro-surfers, and the surfing industry may have affected our attitude and side-track us into ways of surfing which has made us lose touch with the simple pleasure that we seek - that of effortlessly gliding along a wave. I have seen how riding equipment not designed for local conditions (e.g. trying to surf on boards with elf-shoe rocker in the gutless British surf) just leads to frustration and a sense of failure.

Taking inspiration from shapers and surfers such as Bob Simmons, Richard Kenvin, Joel Tudor and many more modern cutting edge shapers, I have tried to reach a happy medium between classic speed and critical turning capability, enabling the rider to engage with The Glide, whilst pushing the limits of performance.

Handcrafted
Although beautiful and environmentally friendly, wooden surfboards in the past have not given the same performance characteristics as the modern foam and fibreglass surfboard. They were heavier and stiffer which had an adverse effect on performance.

After extensive experimentation and testing I have designed a wooden board, using only natural materials, that overcomes these two negative traits. My boards are as light and as flexible as the synthetic foam and fibreglass boards.

The paulownia wood and the loofah that is used in the construction is made up of the cellulose fibres, the only difference being the density of the fibres. Mimicking the foam and fibreglass construction, low density loofah is used on the inside of the board as a lightweight, but incredibly strong load-bearing material. The combination of loofah and the more dense paulownia wood outer shell creates a solid , yet light, entirely cellulose, natural structure.

Cross Grain flex
After achieving the task of making the boards light, it was still apparent when riding them that, though being very fast, they lacked the lively feeling of a foam board, due to the lack of flex. Having the right balance between stiffness and flexibility is of course vital in producing a board and that is fast but also responsive.

I found the perfect solution by taking into account the natural characteristics of wood in relation to grain and flex. Wood naturally flexes more across the grain than along it. I kept the front 2/3rds of the board with the grain running lengthways but achieved the flexibility I was looking for by routing out the wood in the tail area and replacing it with crosswise running grain.

Eco-friendly
By combining all of these features, I have achieved my aim to produce an eco-friendly surfboard which is as light and as flexible as a foam and fibreglass one, that gives you a perfect ride without the bummer of toxic materials on your conscience."
