Haven't seen it yet but just checked this promo teaser on surfline. Looks facking ridiculous. First example I've seen of him surfing on a level commensurate with the hype surrounding him:
http://www.surfline.com/video/video_...er.cfm?id=3387
Comes out in August supposedly.
I had a couple of surfs with him in Oz not too long ago at my home break, a random beach south of Sydney. The guy is a fucking sickbird and super humble too, blasting 6 foot airs off 3 foot waves, alley oops, reverses, and all types of spinny-spin spin. The term "next Kelly Slater" gets thrown around a lot, but if anyone deserves this label, it's this guy.
After seeing that clip, I believe it. I'd only seen him in "Young Guns" and a couple Taylor Steele flicks. All very impressive, but a notch below Bruce Irons, Parko, Fanning, Jamie O'Brien, etc. in terms of taking the Slater revolution to the next level. (Did you see the Jamie O'Brien section in Campaign 2? FACK!)Quote:

Me neither. Very pleased to find out the Ventura show is Free, as in beer.Quote:

Oh, and :fuckyou: Ventura theatre. stinky, plastic patio furniture and $9 beers.
No such thing as a free lunch, I guess (or "you get what you pay for," choose your cliche).
Sounds like it was worth watching but perhaps not as mind-boggling as the teaser would lead one to believe. I'll have to find out when the San Diego premiere is.
how was letting go? did anyone see it?
does anyone else find that teaser un-mind boggling? sure there were snippets of stuff I haven't seen before, but the guy is a nasty surfer and spent a year filming...that is a lot of attempts that didn't make the cut, explosions, etc. i dunno. arcing massive bottom turns on silly good waves gets me going more i guess.
