Фильмы

Discovering Mavericks
Self
Winner of the Newport Beach Film Festival 2013 Audience Award, Discovering Mavericks is an epic film that reveals the true story of this famous and deadly wave, from the decade it was surfed solely by lone surfing pioneer Jeff Clark to the events that followed - leading it to become one of the most famous big wave surfing spots in the world.
Separate Volume
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.
Верхом на великанах
Darryl Virostko
Фильм о сумасбродных смельчаках, кто решил бросить вызов огромным морским волнам. Последовательный рассказ о том, как зародился серф-спорт, кто был основателем, кто уже вошел в легенды тау-серфинга. Сейчас самое популярное место на земле для серфинга, это Гавайи, а самую большую волну можно поймать у берегов Северной Калифорнии, и называется она Маверик. Не каждому покоряются морские волны-великаны, но те, кто прошел по верху ее гребня, действительно заслуживают восхищения.
