Two from our friend Tom Lynch.

A renowned videographer, Newport Wedge aficionado and avid surf fisherman, Tom is constantly experimenting with various high def cameras that take lots of frames per second. The resultant images are amazingly clear and vivid.

As I write, Tom is hunkered down somewhere in the OC (Ocean not Orange) editing his highly anticipated Wedge Documentary. I can not wait for that one.

More coming from TGL…

A couple of non-digi photos taken in late summer of 2008.

“Guess who’s back?…
Back again…
Harri’s back, tell a friend.”

The always on, Godfather of NJ Surf Photography, Bruce “Harri” Chrisner has bucked up and purchased a brandy new Nikon D300. Bruce plans to read the manual cover to cover and be ready to document lower Monmouth County starting yesterday. Look for his images here and on other sites and publications as the spring progresses. Super stoked!

If he sees you, you better be charging, Harri’s camera tells no lies.

Marshalls

Monday, February 16th, 2009 by snakeshark

Somewhere between my toilet sittings and my garage I was introduced to the Marshall brothers. Trace and Chad were recently profiled in a TSJ “People” article, and due to Malibu being Malibu; the brothers are no longer unnoticeable. This video was found appropriately late at night, and profiles all that is Marshall. From the music, to the outfits, the main vein of the L.A/Malibu surf scene rides shockingly deep and twisted. The surfing is first rate, both in style and progression, but it’s all for fun. We are also introduced to the excess trimmings of Malibu: post party beach arrival, call outs, Kivlin, hair, beach goers, and a wealth like you wouldn’t believe. (I think) Trace does all the filming and editing, while Chad skims the top of pretty much everything. Just when you think they might be getting serious, or…taking themselves “too” seriously. We are given another Youtube posting that melts away at convention, and what the surf world posts as Post Modern. Hmmmm. As sheik as Alex Knost maybe, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Enjoy. CM (more…)

Future Primitive

A little old-school skate sliding and freestyling.
I’ll throw the 80’s fashion in for good measure.

Hot off the inter-web! These are Steve’s two new personal boards, a 6′6″ and a 7′3″.
The airbrush on the 6′6″ took him 5 days!!

These boards are all the rage with the retro, groovy set.
I am not an expert in “hulls” and “not-hulls”, but the outlines remind me of a 7′6″ ish Gordon and Smith “Hot Curl” I owned as a grom. Could be time to add one to the quiver for R and D. Maybe I could compare and contrast rides on the new one with my memories of yore…One thing’s for sure, the new one won’t take half an hour to lug it one block to the beach.

This first clip is the trailer for the much anticipated film by Alex Kopps titled “Displacement”.
