We came across a rippable right-hander where Jordy Smith and Asher Pacey traded shacks and ramps in the blistering sun.
Here’s a glimpse of what one day in production looks like during the making of WAY OF THE OCEAN.

When a new swell begins to hit the coastline, good things happen. Creative energies from the surf are carried on to the land and into our lives.

Sometimes when there is a fresh new swell you can almost feel it first thing in the morning. There seems to be more salt in the air and more energy in the crisp off shore breeze. The feeling of walking up to get your first glimpse of the newly stacked corduroy lines is like having a 2nd cup of coffee. Each and every wave has traveled hundreds or thousands of miles only to show its power,beauty and unique form for just a few seconds and for our enjoyment.
This particular morning we were early for the swell’s arrival and at first light there were small clean lines all the way to the horizon. There was a small right tucked away in a sheltered cove for a quick go at first light. Within an hour or so the swell more than doubled in size as the wind kicked up hard offshore. By mid morning all the outside bars were absorbing most of the swell and there was a fickle wedge that proved to be nearly impossible to line up. Once the swell fully filled in, it was clear we needed to relocate and doing so proved to be a smart move as that evening turned out to be one of the best days we saw. For that you will have to wait for the movie but in the mean time here are some images to highlight the first signs of the new swell.
When the surf goes flat there is a good chance you will see Asher Pacey and Josh Kerr headed out to sea for a day of fishing. One might even say that Asher loves fishing as much as surfing and that’s a lot. There are a ton of different species swimming about and during the season a good catch of yellow tail can make for a tasty sushi dinner. When fishing it’s important to remember to not take more than you need and respect the ocean and all its marvels.This particular day wasn’t the most eventful but Kerrzy locked into some large, very large and it snapped the line keeping its identity a secret, but its always nice to give it a go and spend a day on the water.

Sometimes you just have to capture the waves you see onto paper. Whether surfing, drawing, or watching the waves, they are relaxing and energizing at the same time. Click one of the links below to download this desktop wallpaper. enjoy-

Josh Kerr is regarded as one of the best aerialists in the world and its clear when watching him surf that he intends to keep it that way. Kerrzy’s bag of tricks is endless and you can bet he is busy dreaming up fresh and creative ways to take to the air day in and day out. Later this week we will be posting a short and sweet clip displaying how big Josh can go in just one quick session.
