80min surf, snowboard, music film by relentless for free, that´s great!

Looks like the Coca Cola company is trying to steal Red Bull the show. Never heard of Relentless so far but they are doing amazing films and documentaries about surfing, skating, snowboarding and music.

Just one example:

Yes, our new surf documentary Powers of Three is finally here, bringing to an end six memorable months in the company of the film’s three protagonists, Tom Lowe, Fergal Smith and Mickey Smith.:

My flight is on Tuesday and I will stay there till november so don´t expect much to happen here...hopefully I can post some pics from time to time.

A few weeks ago I was talking to a friend who stays in Bali right now. He told me about the Ghost Ship that ran aground at Padang Padang, one of the most famous surfspots you can find in Indonesia. Today I found this nice article with photos from Jason Childs and a voiceover by Rizal Tajung

The Australian Surf/Skate company Insight has a great new campaign called "Dopamine". You can find one skate- and one surfmovie, a trailer and some pictures of the posters they did for the campaign. The skate-clip was filmed in Bali/Indonesia what makes it pretty interesting for all of you who went there for surfing. Why Dopamine you may ask..here you have their answer: "When you are attracted to someone your brain releases the drug dopamine giving the same reaction that one gets from thrill seeking, sex, music, humanitarianism, surfing and skating to name a few." - Dopamine and Insight website.

Can´t wait to see that movie in theatres around europe. Surfwise shows us the life of Dorian "Doc" Paskowitz, who left his mediacal practice to start travelling and surfing all around the world - together with his wife, their nine children and a 24 foot camper! Makes my wanderlust rise already now! Check the side where you can find info, trailers and more than ten webclips.

Really nice interview on ViceTV with artist Thomas Campbell who did the great surf movies "The Seedling" and "Sprout". At the same time he is one of my favorite painters and photographers. See the interview here, have a look at the New York Times article "The swell life" and definitely check out the latest trailer to his upcoming new surfmovie "The present".

Short film series "Sound and Vision" by Hurley is well done and free downloadable. First episode features 22years old Australian Yadin Nicol. Episode two accompanies Rizal Tanjung to his homeplace Bali/Indonesia.
