Surfing and Art have long been tied together and are often spoken as one in the same. The act of riding waves and simply waves themselves are such a special thing, so it is no wonder that people have been drawing painting and photographing them for ages. Surf related art can be found dating back as far as 3,000 years ago in Peru, where engravings were found depicting ancient surfers riding waves. Now days surf art comes in all sorts of forms from simplistic line drawings to intricate oil paintings and beyond. Below are a few simple sketches done to pass the time in the morning as the swell fills in. . .
There have been plenty of late nights and early mornings during the production of this movie. Heres one of the many sunrises that make getting up early well worth it even when you are tired. Its true , the early bird gets the worm.
Adam Robertson gave us some home video footage and we threw it together for your enjoyment. Seeing the long rippable point waves Robbo grew up surfing shows where he got his smooth style and power. This first clip focuses on just the rights, up next we’ll be posting some incredible lefts.
A Humpback whale in South Australia splashes around for the lucky few on the beach below.
Its pretty amazing to see such a big “fish” up close and personal. Humpback whales generally reach between 40 and 50 ft and although harmless they can make you feel pretty insignificant. The humpbacks were almost hunted to extinction in the past but with the help of a whaling moratorium there are now almost 80,000 around the world.
Some mornings the beach breaks can yield almost perfect conditions. This particular morning was one of those days, with relatively minimal crowds and pumping sets, the early bird gets the worm.
