BEACH, OCEAN & GENERATIONS

.
.
One of the impressive things about Johnny Abegg is his ongoing desire to tap numerous points in the arch of being human. Whether it's humorous ("_____"), introspective (Two Weeks
), or heart-felt:

Always great to see a film that can elicit all the love for the beach and ocean that surfing brings without featuring any surfing in it... A deeper, more fundamental role that the beach plays in the lives of generations.
Thanks Johnny.

SHELLEPHANTITIS

.
.

.
.
Shellephantitis (Proper medical term: Shellephantiasis) is a serious disease. If not treated in a timely manner, it may lead to severe complications ending in a surgery. In most cases, the abnormal symptoms caused by the condition also make the patient face social boycott leading to much psychological turmoil. If you know a person with early symptoms of Shellephantitis, get immediate medical attention.

TEMPORAL COLLECTIONS... (film update #016)

In the General Vicinity of...

June 21st, Burch was sanding the quiver he shaped and glassed for the Indian Ocean trip I'd be meeting him and Lucas Dirkse on. Weird boards don't look weird anymore, but one did look a little funny. Maybe it wasn't weird enough: The 7'2" yellow one. Sanding done and dust just blown off, Burch asked me what I thought of it. I laughed and referred to it as the Banana Chaser. He laughed too and said he might leave it home. Our attention then turned to another of the fresh sanded boards that pleased our eyes most.
.
I phoned Burch the day before their June 24th flight. He test sessioned the quiver in small surf at his local. The eye pleaser was a no go. The Banana showed promise. It was in the board bag.
.
A few days after my July 11th arrival, Burch decided to get a proper feel for the 7'2" before taking it into larger swell. It was unreal. A skateboard under his feet— Nothing like you'd expect from a 7'+ board.
.
After only a handful of waves the session ended when the Banana buckled. We wanted to fix it to keep filming on it... But things don't always go as planned at the jungle's edge.
