Have You Seen This?



If so, can you give me the rundown? I know it's been around for a while, but I haven't seen it. How is it? Worth getting? Seems like it has to be good; you can never get enough Greenough as far as I'm concerned. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

I’ve also been interested in this film. The only thing I’ve seen of it so far, is only of what’s on youtube.

Did not like it. It's premised on the evolution of surfing as inspired by GG. It ends up being light on Greenough and heavy on average mick fanning footage. The Greenough parts are good, but not spectacular. The best thing about it is the interview section and watching GG's technique on a mat in average beachbreak. I saw some extra footage that didn't make the dvd. It reveals the "unique" character of Greenough. Probably worth a watch but not all it could've been.

JB, as promised, the longer Lis is available for a test ride. I may be at shores tomorrow a.m.- possibly at a reef though. Shoot me an email if you'd like to give the board a spin sometime soon.

My friend BT made the film so I'm a bit biased, but I liked it. Not your usual surf vid fare. An alternative take on shortboard development with spots on Greenough, Curren, Fanning and others. There was a lot of Greenough footage including interviews and classic shots by the man himself that unfortunately had to be cut. Definitely worth a watch though.

Aren, thanks for checking in. Shit, I've been meaning to contact you about your music/art thing. What's happening with that?

No problem James. I've been enjoying the blog. How's the business going? I'll email you details on the music/art project.
