The producers of A Fistful of Barrels and A Bowlful of Chile serve up another slice of 'Somewhere', and this time it's all Bagus! The ASP World Tour descends on Bali in search of Indonesian barrels, babes and Bintangs. In what was possibly the least mysterious event location in the short history of The Search campaign, Rip Curl opted to pay the boys of the Top 44 back for last year's Chilean hell-trip and hold this year's Somewhere event in the well-tracked, and in this case, well-oiled waters off of Bali. Far be it from us to be the spoilers, though. If you can't figure out where these perfectly groomed left-hand barrels are, do the legwork yourself and you'll reap the rewards. Relax and enjoy watching Kelly Slater completely dominate the rest of the Top 44, before bowing out and letting the young Turks have their day. The all-Hawaiian final featured Bruce Irons besting Freddy P to retire comfortably from the Tour in the knowledge that he's got what it takes to take home a win.
From the producers of A Fistful of Barrels comes a new video featuring an entirely new wave. The small town of Arica, Chile hosts the ASP World Tour's Top 44 at Ex Isla Alacrans during the Rip Curl Pro Search Chile. Following hot on the heels of last year's epic sessions at the Mexican pointbreak known only as La Jolla, The Search extends its one-of-a-kind Floating License to South America, where the world's best face-off with one of the most challenging waves to ever host a World Tour event. What started out as a question mark became one of the greatest slab duels ever held, complete with heat-ending injuries and the spectacle of the world's best dry-docked on the shallow Chilean reef, leaving some holding their bandaged heads and others simply shaking theirs at a wave compared to both Pipeline and Teahupo'o for it's ferocity.
It isn’t that strange, that no two surfers have the same exact approach to a wave. It is an extension of character and everyone is different. In the making of Separate Volume, the intention was to show how each member of the team is unique. A lot of our surfers have never been spotlighted or even seen outside of a magazine, so this was their chance to shine. The movie also delves deeper into surfers that you have seen hundreds of times but still know nothing about. Nathan Fletcher has voices in his head that make him travel the globe and surf to a different tune. In typical Hawaiian style, Dustin Barca had to fight for everyone’s respect and it is undeniable in his surfing. You will see Brent Dorrington, who at 17 has that natural surfing style that echoes a young Tom Curren. Chris Ward’s unbridled power and mix of wild abandon produces spontaneity in every aspect of his surfing and his life.

Hollywood Connection: {{{Rocky}}} V: At first you’re thinking, “Not another one!”, but somehow you find yourself sticking around to see how it all turns out. Best Actor: Shane Dorian.

5'5" x 19 1/4" Redux the long anticipated new surfing video from Lost. In the winter of '96 / '97, while everyone was riding 6'1" thrusters featuring Slater's elf shoe rocker and long before the "retro fish" craze, two kids attacked the North Shore and beyond on 5'5" twin fins. The subsequent action ended up being tossed together for the 1997 video 5'5" x 19 1/4" and other oddities. What started as an addendum of random recent "fish clips" has turned into a magnus opus of epic proportion. Over 10... or 8... or 12 years in the making comes... 5'5" X 19 1/4" REDUX. Starring Chris Ward, Aaron Cormican, and Mason Ho putting sub 5'6" boards to their limits. Also featuring sections from Shane Beschen, Kolohe Andino, Dane Reynolds, Jordy Smith, Ryan Carlson, and Ol' Mr. Slater himself. ...And for the first time ever seen, Cory Lopez and Ian Walsh weaving through some of the longest tubes ever captured on video at what "SURFER" Magazine dubbed "The Holy Grail of Surf Scores."
Chris Ward is an enigma. He travels around and rips as hard as anyone on the tour, but he does his traveling and ripping quietly. A documentary on Chris was long overdue. The documentary-style movie that features Wardo at his best. Most of the footage is raw and medium quality, but that fits Ward well; he's a working man's hero. Locations: Hawaii, Mexico - Puerto Escondido, Tahiti, Indonesia, South Africa, California, Europe, South America, Australia. Music: Sublime, White Zombie, Youth Brigade
