Rip Curl and Timeslice Films came up with this concept, freezing action Matrix style in Malaysia’s Sunway Lagoon Wavepool. 52 Canon DSLRs capture Mick Fanning, Stephanie Gilmore, Owen Wright and Matt Wilkinson.

Was The Drifter with Rob Machado too scripted and heavy on plot? If you get rid of all that, keep the surfing footage, and add more, you have the Melali Drifter Sessions.

When did you start surfing? I think 22 months is about the right age. Clearly the stoke is there.

Has anyone not seen this video yet? I didn’t think so. Santa Cruz boys Homer Henard, Nic Lamb, Omar Etcheverry, Chris Killen, and Ruse Entertainment are pioneering the new sport of tarp surfing. Expect future episodes shortly.

This Baja secret is one of the best waves in north america. KORDUROY.tv has this video from December 2004, during a swell I was there for. I sat on the inside for hours and watched the pros get barrel after barrel.

Photographer Dom Daher hooked up with Helicam International to shoot aerial photos of Tim Boal. After the sun set, the helicopter was rigged up with a flash as well to get some night photos. Check out the ‘Making Of’ video to see the behind the scenes action.
