Went to a screeing of the new Thomas Campbell film, The Present, this past weekend at the Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park, NJ.
The guy’s a genious. The only thing more brilliant than his filmmaking, is the surfing in the film.
Classic surf flick… wipeout sequences, funny shtick scenes, great surfing… a must see, modern classic.
What totally freaked me out was the alaia scenes - yes, scenes. These guys were riding alaias in little, perfect tubes, head high perfection, and overhead hawaiian bombs! Never knew it could be done…
