Expensive P. Movie - When surrealism hits the surfing scene, the best thing you've got to do is watch an "Expencive P. Movie." Surf movies are getting very experimental. Forget classic Hollywood angles, high-tech video effects, contemporary editing and mainstream soundtracks.

Today, everything's a lab. "Expencive P. Movie" was shot entirely on Super 16mm, and that is why you'll notice that grainy look in every surf move, for Tin Ojeda, the director behind this 1970s-esque surf flick, got the inspiration from Quentin Tarantino's approaches. The final result focus on West Coast surfing, with an indie East Coast look."Expencive P. Movie" features Dane Peterson, Kassia Meador, Alex Knost, JJ Wessels, Mikey DeTemple, Trevor Gordon, Kyle Albers, Devon Howard, Justin Adams, Scotty Stopnik, Jared Mell, and Ryan Burch.

Producer: Tin Ojeda running time 45 min

A visual epic captured in 35mm, Bella Vita presents an intimate, powerful journey of self-discovery where the unique powers of family tradition intersect with the enlightenment of re-discovery in a forgotten natural resource. If you’ve seen One California Day, you know that Baffa has a cinematographer’s eye, and a talent for cruisy, contemplative rhythm and that’s mostly the feel of Bella Vita as well.

"Internationally acclaimed surf-filmmaker - Jason Baffa (single fin: yellow, one California day, one beach) documents surfer, artist and environmentalist, Chris Del Moro on a pilgrimage back to his Italian homeland on what most perceive as a 'Don Quixotian' quest but transforms into a modern discovery seeped in culture, tradition and passion. Moreover, it is what Chris finds in the beauty of Italy and the distinctly passionate connection the Italian people have with family and tradition that reveals a greater truth." - Surfer Magazin

Master surf DVD film maker Jack McCoy ventures into a new realm with his latest breakout feature, A DEEPER SHADE OF BLUE.

The Almost Cut My Hair surfing DVD showcases the surf-sliding talents of the 805's most groovy young lions of style, people like Trevor Gordon, Travers Adler, Troy Mothershead, and Simon Murdoch, alongside decidedly less local but equally groovy wave riders like Ryan Burch, Cyrus Sutton, and Ari Browne. And, while familiar haunts like Rincon and Sandspit get the bulk of the on-screen coverage, the footage, much of it shot by über-talented surf documenter Mike Kew, is of Lovelace-influenced surf action from spots all over the world, including India, Bali, Mexico, and Australia.

A soundtrack comprising of musicians like Johnny McCann and Landon Smith, all of whom are personally connected to Lovelace (many of whom actually ride his boards), and you get a film that is essentially a homemade affair. In other words, Almost Cut My Hair is as much about "good, clean surfing" as it is about Ryan Lovelace's own handcrafted, Santa Barbara-centered universe and all the wonderfully skilled people who inhabit it.

That First Glide


Price $21.95 - List Price $29.99

The sport of Stand Up Paddle seems to have popped up out of nowhere. The truth is, the sport has deep roots in both early Polynesian and Hawaiian History as it is truly a combination of outrigger paddling and surfing.

The first regular Stand Up Paddle enthusiasts were playing around in Waikiki as early as 1939, when Duke Kahnomoku used to stand up on an australian surf ski. Later, in the 60's and 70's guys like John Ah Choy and John Zapotocki used to do the sport regularly up into the late 90's until they finally were getting to old to keep surfing.

Around that Same time, Laird Hamilton and Dave Kalama played around with paddles on Maui and although at first no one seemed to take notice, it wasn't long before the sport was attracting all sorts of users from all over the world.

Now, Stand Up Paddling is done almost everwhere there is water, and the sport has gone in multiple directions. Some people like the excercise and weight loss aspects in flat water, others like to race, and the most extreme are taking the boards out into the waves. Filmed in Hawaii, Fiji, and Tahiti, That First Glide is a must see movie for everyone and features most of the premier athletes that got the sport off the ground.
