So, "Who is JOB" that's the question that many people have been asking for a long time. Finally the answer that we have all been seeking is going to be released to the world on Oct. 7. I know I am more than stoked on this movie especially since it is being released to the world on the heels of the Iron's Brothers Production's "Scratching the Surface," which features the life and travels of one Julian Wilson. People are already saying that it is movie of the year, and one of the best they have ever seen. I have already seen it, and I have to tell you, I was more than impressed. The sound track is killer, the waves and travel are epic, and above all the cinematography is second to none. In my eyes as of right now, it is the best movie that I have seen. So for your viewing pleasure I have attached the trailer to "Who is JOB." I love discussions so I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts. I decided not to attach "Scratching the Surface" because you can run down to the local shop and pick it up, and it is one that is a MUST HAVE in your collection. So here you go, sit back and see what you think...
On another note, the Easterns have been going off all week. The best of the best were invited down to Hatteras for the final comp of the year, and boy did they score. Some of the young guns rode to impress and it looks to me like there are some future superstars out there in the making. To be able to prove yourself in hurricane swell is a once in a life time opportunity for a lot of riders, and that's exactly what they got. You can check out all the action right here http://surf.transworld.net/1000115154/features/the-youth-has-arrived-at-easterns/
So please don't be afraid to post your opinions, I promise I will answer them, and please tell me what your favorite surf movie is. I can't wait to hear what people are into and enjoy watching. Who knows maybe someone out there has a flick in their collection that you have never heard of. Oh and Fast Times at Ridgemont High doesn't count as a surf movie......or does it????
That's all for today gang, again, the water is basically flat, so come on down check out some SUP's and long skates, or just swing in to say hi, I am here till 7!!
As always be positive and I'll see you in the water!

Just wanted to alert everyone to a new book titled the wave. I've been reading it on my recent work trips and it's a great way to keep your mind in the ocean when your stuck away from the water. It parrallels big wave surfers and their pursuit to ride 50-100 foot waves with that of scientists trying to find these waves so 500 foot cargo ships can avoid them. It's an amazing book. As far as surf movies go though laird is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteRyan, thanks so much for the feedback on the book I am totally going to grab it and give it a read. And you are right, Laird movies are great. To me they depict the true essence of surfing.
ReplyDeleteI agree I have never understood the idea of surfing to compete. Regardless if you surf 50 foot giants or 2 foot rollers it's all about the feeling of riding the ocean not being better than someone else. I can't wait to get out of Texas and back to new england. I'll be in the water all weekend hope to see you there.
