festibal surf film, san sebastian spain

i love spain. i truly do. i studied there over ten years ago, which makes me feel really old and well, i miss it - a lot. i've screened a few films at this festival and whenever i finish a film, i'm so broke from making it- i can't go visit the festival! that's just lame. my friend jamie went this year and i'm jealous and he's right, the redcam vs. 35mm debate truly rages on in every pub i enter!!! check out his cool article here and kudos to my buddy joel, the Waveriders gang and those cold looking beers they are drinking. hmmm... more jealous. maybe next year i can return to spain - with or without a film. definitely with a single fin.

the days before digital

i just love the old days, when CGI effects didn't exist and you had to do insanely stupid things like this to sell a product.

wave painting in motion

people have asked how i paint, so i thought it would be fun to post this - it was the wave painting for my series of prints. oil on canvas at 48 x 60 inches. created in manhattan beach, ca.

get surf stoked on your iphone

don't ya just love technology?

okay - so, i'd much rather you watch my films on a big screen with a great sound system - but if you need a little surf stoke while stuck at the office, in class, or waiting for the significant other to find that perfect outfit, fear no more. Singlefin: yellow & One California Day are both available for digital download at the surf network. now you can take 'ole yellow everywhere you wanna go. laptop. ipod. iphone at high quality h.264. enjoy & thanks for watching.

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.
