The buzzed about surf video film, A Pleasant Surprise, makes its way to DVD after a wildly successful world premiere at the Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park, a sold out screening at the New York Surf Film Festival & successful screenings in Philadelphia and Long Beach Island. The film, a collaboration between cinematographer Kyle Pahlow & creative director Nick Zegel, offers an honest look at the talents of a select group of surfers who live in a truly special part of the United States. Almost three years in the making, A Pleasant Surprise documents a world of contrast as daily changes in weather and waves prove to be all part of a larger picture; thumping beach breaks, cold water, and quick tropical storms are just a fraction of what you will find. A Pleasant Surprise is a timeless, action-packed surf film, delivering a genuine look into New Jersey's surf culture. A Pleasant Surprise is the first full length film from Cinematographer Kyle Pahlow.

The impressive soundtrack features original compositions from New York based Las Flores Project and singer/songwriter Brian Parnagian. Indie acts Yeasayer, Here We Go Magic, Moondoggies, School of Seven Bells, & White Williams expose viewers to new sounds that compliment the films genuine and organic nature. The surf talent includes Ian Bloch, Ryan Daly, Luke Ditella, Andrew Gesler, Sam Hammer, Zach Humphries, Rob Kelly, Chris Kelly, Matt Keenan, Ben McBrien, Jamie Moran, Tom Petriken, Randy Townsend & Brendan Willem.

From Cyrus Sutton comes a look into the creative world of Tom Wegener who changed the entire surfing culture by introducing the ancient alaia style surfboard into modern times. We live in a world where over 90% of surfers compete for waves on less than 1% of the world's coastlines. To escape overcrowding and localism most surfers travel to far off destinations in search of empty "perfect waves." But what is a perfect wave? Before the shortboard it was a soft point break, now its perfect tubes with air sections. The fact is, a perfect wave is relative to the surfcraft on which it is ridden. There are perfect waves all around us, it’s just a matter of opening our minds...

Steeped in Hawaiian tradition, the Alia’a represents the pure essence of board surfing, allowing for faster gliding than modern equipment, and tons of fun. The film also provides an insight into the life of a craftsman Tom devotion to surfing and the art of making surfboards. With its innovative half surf film/ half shaping tutorial format, this film gives you the working knowledge and stoke to create your own ancient finless surfboard. Shot on location at Australia, California and Hawaii, and featuring Tom and Jon Wegener, Richard Kenvin, Ryan Burch, Cyrus Sutton, Jacob Stuth, Harrison Biden, and Zye Norris.
