A Shared Moment with Israel Preciado


A Shared Moment with Israel Preciado from Quality Peoples on Vimeo.
This documentary film is the first in a series of Quality Peoples short films that take a brief glimpse into the lives of our collaborators and inspirations. Israel Preciado is a longboarder cat from Mexico and the unofficial Mayor of Sayulita. You might know Izzy as the face of QP, he’s the stoic guy in all the photos. Antithetical to the image we’ve created of him, Izzy is actually one of the kindest, funniest, unassuming guys you’ll meet in the lineup. Izzy’s quiver runs deep and in this short film we spend a few shared moments with him as he talks about his childhood, his favorite spots, slowing things down, the art of small wave riding, traveling, learning to surf and the act of surfing as both sport and meditation. With a special appearance by Lola Mignot.
This short documentary was filmed, directed and edited by the folks at Quality Peoples. We hope you enjoy.

Slaves of Summer | RVCA


The Slaves of Summer camping surf trip through France, Spain & Portugal with RVCA Europe Advocates Robin Falxa (France), Jack Whitefield (UK), Adrian Siebert (Germany), Matteo Fabbri (Italy) & Benjamin Jean Jean (France).

We all know Europe isn’t known for its waves during summer, but it is known to deliver a good time. So we decided on shoving 4 nationalities into a couple of rental vehicles with a bunch of camping gear, too many surfboards and hit the road for a cliché euro trip.

We got lost, went skating, partied too much, met girls, camped on the side of the road, surfed shitty waves and crashed our rental car. But we had fun, even though we couldn’t understand each other.

Preview of the CJ Nelson interview | Salty Merchants


Preview of the CJ Nelson interview. Talking with the Salty Merchants on Surfing, fins, turbulent times and positive projections. from Salty merchant on Vimeo.
CJ Nelson (a man who needs no introduction) has collaborated with the Salty Merchants to release a range of fins, designed around his latest board models. Amongst testing in Australia we found some time to hang and get to know CJ on a personal level.. An entertaining story of past troubles, current stoke and future possibilities.. As well as some insight into his new fin range and the documentation of some epic, empty slides on the point breaks of South Coast of Australia.

Ode to Simplicity


Ode to Simplicity from ENJOY THE SOUP on Vimeo.
This short documentary portrays Andrew Strode, a carpenter/artist/shaper from Cape Town, South Africa. A passionate surfer with a love for nature and craftsmanship, Strode talks about wood as his favourite raw material for building boards, bodysurfing, his blind dog that is addicted to the ocean and the important role simplicity plays in his life.

Ode to Simplicity
written by: Andrew Strode
filmed by: Manu Grafenauer

music by: Elskavon - Imprints
special thanks to: Cobus Joubert and everybody else at WAWA

more about the art and the surfboards of Andrew Strode:
Andrew Strode lives in Muizenberg, South Africa, where he paints, makes sculptures out of recycled T-shirts and shapes for Wawa Wooden Surfboards. This little wooden surfboard company matches his ideas of quality, respect for our roots and his belief in the sanctity of nature. Andrew’s shapes are inspired by the intuited hydrodynamic genius of the ancient Hawaiian board builders.
