curren- so smooth
if you grew up surfing in the last 25yrs, it's hard to deny the influence on all of us via tom curren. i believe it was lance carson, who stated, "good power surfing will never get old."
as we see the new guard blazing an acrobatic approach to the world tour, i still believe the above quote nails good surfing. yes, the new school is more wide-open, higher above the lip and arguably more creative as to what-can-be-done on a wave but the good ones start with a foundation of solid power surfing. phil edwards, billy hamilton, buttons, tom carrol, occy, tyler hatzikian, kelly slater, andy irons, joel parkinson- all great stylish surfers who begin with a foundation of smooth power-surfing and who can deny, perhaps the smoothest, tom curren. enjoy

I'm toying with doin' another film



never say, never - right? hmmm... i guess. i keep swearing that my next film will be about something besides surfing - and i guess we did do the king of karaoke for fun but here i go again. had a long talk with devon howard yesterday about an idea he and i have toyed with for a while. it will have a coffee table companion book and possibly begin production this winter '09. no more four year beasts, i want to release this in fall 2010. i'm not giving too much away at this point but talking to the malloy crew and praying greenough borrowed falzon's copy of singlefin: yellow... and enjoyed it- i'll keep ya all posted.
