Longboards

I don’t know about the soundtrack, but there is some pretty beat footage here.

Just admit that you love Kassia Meador: her style and her beauty.

Here is a trailer from the new Mikey DeTemple surf movie, Picaresque.  Is it just me, or are surf films becoming art rather than just a compilation of clips set to fast-paced music?  Impressive.

A very cool compilation of wipeouts from vintage and not-so-vintage surf films. The Style Evolution project pays homage to the immense treasure of surf movies over the past 50 years, many of which are sadly becoming rapidly unavailable due to new video formats. This short film is a collage of wipeouts from 19 surf movies from 1963 to 2005. Be on the lookout for 1) the kid who stands on someone else’s board, causes the other guy to wipeout, and then jumps back on his own board; 2) over-the-falls in a catamaran; 3) epic Wiamea and Pipeline freefall wipeouts; 4) death slabs from hell; and so much more!

Wow. Insane barrel at the start. It can only get better: Thomas Campbell.
