Grant Noble
Michael February's Quiver
“Michael February is hardly what you’d call a conformist when it comes to style, so it’s no surprise his quiver follows suit. Twinnies, mid-lengths, retro-replicas, even a spongy hunk of foam. In fact, the odd one out amongst his handful of favorites is a standard 6'0" shortboard.”
Assorted Rides | Devon Howard
"Assorted Rides" is comprised of a few sessions in California where I met up with a surfer I’ve really enjoyed watching over the years. Devon Howard’s approach to surfing inspired the feel of this short—a modern classic. In preparation for this project, I pored over old surf photography books with works by guys like LeRoy Grannis and Ron Stoner. – Drew Miller

A Surfer's Search
Watch Great Lakes surfer, Erik Wilkie, outwork the frozen waters of Minnesota. Created by Carhartt and Hurley.
Victoria Vegara
“Almost a decade ago, I met Victoria Vergara on a small volcanic landmass deep in the Indian Ocean, known as Reunion Island. Now famous for its shark-infested waters, the incredibly rugged french island is a far-fetched idea from where you'd think this longboarder and model would hail from.” – filmmaker Morgan Maassen.
Nole Cossart and the Kook Box
Central Coast California surfer Nole Cossart and his familial fascination with historical surf-craft from alaias and paddleboards on up to building his on replicas from Tom Blake's 1930 "kook box" designs.
Matthew Allen
“When I think about creating artwork that speaks to the culture of the west, of my home, that is where my mind rests. Every day is a good day that ends with me in the water, sitting on my surfboard, watching the sun slip into the sea." – Matt Allen. Film by: Dade Shields.
Honolua x Morgan Maasen
“At the age of twenty one, Honolua Blomfield’s two world titles are an absolutely incredible feat. What I find even more remarkable, however, is her casual demeanor. She exudes an honest simplicity in her approach to surfing, which serves as a refreshing breakaway that competing for a world title both fosters in and demands of people.” – Direct/film/edit: Morgan Maassen.
Wolfgang Bloch: Ranacimiento
A film about artist Wolfgang Bloch that follows his rise as a celebrated surf painter to his painful divorce. From those ashes, he he becomes born anew and his painting takes a new direction. Director: Adam Warmington.
