FLUCTUS SPLITTERS | Trailer #1


FLUCTUS SPLITTERS Trailer #1 from No pain in Dream on Vimeo.
Il y a ceux qui ont marché sur la lune, et ceux qui dorment sous les ponts, il y a les génies et les ratés,
il y a la plage et les buildings, il y a ceux qui passent leur vie à regarder la télé, et ceux qui là passent à la vivre,
il y a la mer, la drogue, et les couteaux qui fendent les flots, il y a ici même 32 minutes de purs souvenirs imprégnés
sur pellicules SUPER8MM, il y a ici la mer, le ciel, les buildings, les ateliers, le brésil, la france, le vietnam,
l’australie, l’indonésie, le jazz,la france encore, gato heroi, les potes, le voyage… Sortie été 2014.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are those who walked on the moon, and those who sleep under bridges, there are genius and losers,
there is the beach and the building, there are those who pass their lives watching TV, and those who spend it to live,
there is the sea, drugs, knives which cleave the waves, there is here 32 minutes impregnated by pure memories
on peliculles super8mm, there is the sea, the sky, buildings, factory, brazil, France, vietnam,
australia, indonesia, jazz, France again, gato heroi, the friends, the trip ... Out summer 2014.

Making of: Almond Apparel


Making of: Almond Apparel from Almond Surfboards on Vimeo.
Since Day 1 of Almond's fairly short history, (5 or 6 years) we have strived to design and make products that we deemed to be essential to our mostly surf-centric way of life. We have spent the first 5 years really emphasizing the surfboard, the most essential of all surf essentials. Along the way we have learned a ton, met a lot of talented people and set our sights on more product-variety. This past year we've decided to make a more intentional and direct effort in the soft-goods realm, to sit alongside the surfboards that we will always emphasize. We have spent the last year and a half developing, experimenting, re-developing and launching a small collection of subtly surf-inspired, wearable clothing. Here's a brief look into what that looks like for us. We're continuing to grow the line, refine fits, try new washes, etc... but we're thankful for the progress thus far, and increasingly excited with each new season.

EXOTIC AQUATIC DANCES | THE KEGEL


EXOTIC AQUATIC DANCES | THE KEGEL from Jan Latussek on Vimeo.
Watching Robin Kegel´s style you get to think that this thing he does is really easy... switching stance, reading the wave like he does, finding the balance, turning the board like a featherweiht sword, moving up the face, through the setions, turning here, floating there, basically gliding like he does....

His signature style is incomparable. No one does what he does, and that´s why he is one of the great surfers out there today. A unique character with a unique vision and a unique style.

This is his Exotic Aquatic Dance.... unfortunatelly we were not able to see him surf more at the Salinas Longboard Festival, but the show he gave on his heat.... was amazing. Here´s my take on it!

Alaska Sessions


Alaska Sessions from Alaska Sessions on Vimeo.
Mr. McCune sells his house and buys an old fishing boat to embark on an epic surf adventure. He and his eclectic crew travel up the isolated Alaskan coastline in the dead of winter. It’s cold, it’s dark, and these guys aren’t exactly pro-surfers, but in the words of one crew-member, “when your stoke is hot, you can endure a lot.”

TOMORROWS TULIPS | THE GROWLERS | Armazém do Chá

Do not miss this Thursday 7th - ARMAZÉM DO CHÁ, Porto - The Growlers and Tomorrows Tulips.

TOMORROWS TULIPS



Os Tomorrows Tulips (Burger Records) são um dueto californiano que se esforça por manter a bela tradição do ligeiramente vagabundo, ligeiramente feliz, ligeiramente fora de tom, ligeiramente underground. Não são, na sua essência, revivalistas dos anos 90, ainda que na sua extrema astúcia musical exista essa reminiscência, distinguindo-se pela forma como flutuam no território de uma quase caótica liberdade experimental. Os Tomorrows Tulips nomadizam entre o harmonioso e o sinistro, atingindo, nesse suposto antagonismo, uma estranha, ainda que labiríntica, simbiose melódica. Há, nas guitarras distorcidas e vozes lo-fi, o exercício do sortilégio, a procura de uma paixão primitiva afogueada pelos desejos mais íntimos, ainda que essa busca se desdobre num ambiente tépido e luminoso. Para este dueto norte-americano, nunca a adolescência foi tão conceptual. O seu último álbum, Experimental Jelly, editado pela prezada Burger Records, foi lançado em Março do corrente ano.

The Tomorrows Tulips ( Burger Records ) is a Californian duo that strives to maintain the fine tradition of slightly bum, slightly happy, slightly out of tune, slightly underground. There are, in essence, revivalist 90s, even in their extreme cunning throwback musical that exists, distinguished by how float in the territory of an almost chaotic experimental freedom. The Tomorrows Tulips travel between smooth and sinister, reaching this supposed antagonism, a strange, albeit labyrinthine melodic symbiosis. There, the distorted guitars and voices lo-fi, the exercise of sorcery, seeking a passion for primitive flushed innermost desires, though this search to unfold in an environment warm and bright. For this duet U.S., never adolescence was so conceptual. His latest album, Experimental Jelly, published by prized Burger Records, was released in March this year.

Spin and Grin | The surfing side of the Deus Slidetober Fest 2013


Spin and Grin. The surfing side of the Deus Slidetober Fest 2013 from Deus ex Machina on Vimeo.
They came from both far and near. To compete, sit on the beach, drink beer and cheer. A surf event that’s always a spectator sport. It’s a market well stocked in both ooohs and ahhhs. Guest commentary brought with it a lot of ha, ha, ha’s. Black beach sand and burgers on hand. It’s the Deus Slidetober Fest 2013; Surfing!
Another magnificent memento from the Deusconjurors of the moving images. This sweet little homage to a well-spent day at the beach. We all wish they could be like this.
We’re hoping that this might be the incentive you need to join us for our next one in 2014.
