I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night | Trailer


I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night - Trailer from Deus ex Machina on Vimeo.
'I HAD TO MUCH TOO DREAM LAST NIGHT' follows the simplistic travels of two surfers, meeting friends along the way, on an open ended journey across an archipelago littered with islands and breaks. Connected by ribbons of tarmac and separated by deep ocean valleys these islands have been here for millennia and will continue to do so for millennia to come. An veritable eden for waves of every nature, from long reeling glassy points breaks to sketchy urchin infested waves in the middle of nowhere

Film coming May 2014

The Legend Series | Reynolds "Renny" Yater


The Legend Series: Reynolds 'Renny' Yater from SeaVees on Vimeo.
Check out our partnership with legendary surfboard shaper, Reynolds 'Renny' Yater: https://www.seavees.com/the-legend-series/reynolds-renny-yater

To kick off The Legend Series celebration, SeaVees partnered with renowned surfboard shaper, Reynolds “Renny” Yater. In the summer of 1964, the same year SeaVees was originally founded, Yater honed his talent to carve out the original Yater Spoon. The Spoon was the thinnest, lightest and most maneuverable longboard of its time. The shape remains the board of choice among many long-boarders today, solidifying Yater’s status as a surf icon.

To honor the dual 50th anniversaries and Colon Cancer Awareness Month, Yater shaped a custom Spoon for SeaVees that will be available on auction from March 16th to 26th. All proceeds from the auction, as well as 10% from all sales of the 08/63 Hermosa Plimsoll Standards (https://www.seavees.com/products/08-slash-63-hermosa-plimsoll/natural), will be donated to Colon Cancer research at the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara.

Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, but as many as 80% of these deaths could be prevented through regular screening in those age 50 or older. To help raise awareness about colon cancer and screening for the disease, the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara with Sansum Clinic has worked since 2000 to raise widespread awareness of colon cancer prevention and the importance of early detection.

Shapers Series: Jim Phillips by Anastasia Petukhova

This is an awesome work by Anastasia Petukhova that I saw on the Thomas Patrick blog, is a series of black and white photographs, a photo documentary about the process of surfboard building.

Anastasia Petukhova

The first time I saw that warehouse I felt like I just entered Disneyland. The place was magic. There were blanks all over the place, wooden, foam, and some really old ones that looked like they’ve been there forever. The vivid smell of the different kinds of wood was very tempting and I spend minutes walking around and smelling everything. There was a blank being glued and it smelled even more awesome. The variety of tools was impressive. And then there was Jim. I knew I had to come back because I got there to photograph Matt Calvani. I never plan for two shoots for the same day. Everyone deserves full attention and I need to keep my focus for the whole time of the shoot.

So I planned to come back another day and spend it with Jim. This was that day.

Alex Knost and Ford Archbold | Panama from Matt Tromberg on Vimeo.
Alex Knost and Ford Archbold surf a fun, closeout beach break in Bocas Del Toro, Panama. This wave looks way better than it actually is. It breaks like 5 feet from the sand in super shallow water. Do not be fooled, Bocas Del Toro is a super cool and really beautiful place, but the waves are not as good as they look. All in all, it was a fun trip, but we were a little let down by the wave quality. Hey, you win some, and you lose some.

We want to create a film to inspire other young people to get out there and be motivated to create their own opportunities, rather than simply rely on a good education.

Dopamine; Biochemistry; a compound which exists in the body as a euphoric neurotransmitter, it is naturally produced by the brain to create happiness, heightened energy, pleasure and pain. Origin; from dop(a) + amine (a related substance) Release: When you are attracted to someone your brain releases the drug dopamine giving the same reaction that one gets from thrill seeking, sex, music, humanitarianism, surfing and skating to name a few.

ESTO ES SALINAS | This is Salinas


ESTO ES SALINAS from Jan Latussek on Vimeo.
ESTO ES SALINAS, es mi visión de lo que para muchos fue un “desastre” de festival. Dejando de lado los obvios fallos que este año la organización ha prometido corregir, Salinas, para mí, volvió a ser eso, encontrarse con viejos y nuevos amigos, buenas olas, buenos ratos tanto dentro como fuera del agua... familia y Longboard.

Este video intenta recoger eso y aunque no salen todos los que deberían, todos estáis ahí. Todos los que hacéis Salinas con vuestra presencia, con vuestras ganas, con vuestra energía, con vuestra ilusión, estáis aquí y os pido perdón si no salís en el video, pero con tanto pico, tanto baño libre, tanta gente y tan pocoas horas, no he podido filmaros e incluiros a todos.... por lo que esto es simplemente una pincelada...

_______________

ESTO ES SALINAS, is my vision of what was last years festival. Leaving aside the obvious mistakes that the organization has promised to correct, Salinas was again all it has allways been, a meeting of good old and new friends, good waves, good times in and out of the water... simply the Longboard Family.

This video, tries to reflect just that, and allthough not everyone that should be in it, was filmed... everyone IS in the video in one way or another. All those who contribute to Salinas with their presence, their dreams, their energies, YOU ARE HERE, I am truly sorry if you are not in the video, but with so much ground to cover, so many peaks, so many waves, so many frieds and so short days... I haven´t been able to film you all... to include you all.... that´s why to me, this is just a brush stroke of what this festival really is.
