Chasing the Lotus
Himself
For forty years, underground film-makers Greg Weaver and Spyder Wills documented surf discovery as it migrated around the world. Their shots captured on celluloid became the images for such films as Stylemasters, The Forgotten Island of Santosha, Big Wednesday, Pacific Vibrations, Uluwatu and many more. This documentary is a cinematic journey inspired by many of the reels that were lost in the making of these films. Since that time, these reels have resurfaced and are now brought to light. A fusion of rare super 8mm film, photo stills and contemporary interviews blend together to make Chasing the Lotus the most in-depth look at the evolution of the surf culture and surf discovery ever made.

El club de las olas
Himself
Sin duda, una de las mejores cosas del surf son sus historias. Todos los surfistas tienen la suya, y cada una es diferente y única. "El club de las olas", la espectacular apuesta cinema-tográfica de Dana Brown, llega para darles vida en la gran pantalla. Pasando de lo emocional y lo espiritual a lo más espectacular o incluso a lo cómico, todo está en la película. Considerado por muchos el mejor documental sobre el mundo del surf, "El club de las olas" es mucho más que una película de surf: es el reflejo de la vida a través del surf. Un viaje apasionante por es-te deporte y su espíritu, que entusiasmará a los aficionados, y ani-mará a los indecisos a coger una tabla y… surfear.
