“Let me live”

Tom Lowes story of determination pioneering unwon waves and carving a career as a big wave surfers with all that comes with it directed by Keith Malloy is showing 26th June at St Ives Taproom, Hayle, Cornwall.

Save the date! We’re excited to be showing “Let Me Live” at St Ives Brewery this month. Created by award-winning director Keith Malloy, this new film from YETI celebrates St Ives Tom Lowe, and his unlikely journey from a small Cornish town to becoming one of the world’s best renowned big wave surfers!

Enigmatic big wave surfer Tom Lowe has followed his own path from the heart of Penwith, Cornwall to surfing’s highest level through grit and determination – with a little help from his friends.

Cutting his teeth in Ireland and pioneering unknown waves with a small group of surfers, Tom found meaning in pushing himself to the limit, and sometimes beyond. In 2023, Tom hit the reef hard at Teahupo’o and sustained critical injuries. “After surgery, lung treatment and a blood transfusion due to internal bleeding, a broken scapula, and many broken ribs, I truly do feel lucky to have made it,” he said.

Featuring the likes of Fergal Smith and renowned, multi-faceted creative Mickey Smith, this film is as much an exploration of community and kinship as it is about Tom.

‘Sandbagging Jimmy Chin’ will also be showing.

Yeti have also supported the event, with a whole load of products to giveaway. St Ives Brewery Taproom in Hayle is an insane venue to spend the evening, and we’ll be joined by Ruby Junes serving up some incredible Indian cuisine too.

Come down, join us for a few beers, and a couple of epic films!

See you there

 

 

Surrender

Surrender

This passion project was filmed in Bali at the end of 2024 by the talented Lucien Michiels and Noémie Kreitlow. With a clear vision in mind, they reached out to connect, and from the first conversation, we clicked. We talked about life, purpose, and creativity, and it just felt natural to collaborate.

I love crossing paths with passionate souls. We shared stories, laughters, and a deep moments along the way. What came out is something really honest and close to my heart.

This is a piece of my story.
One wave at a time, surfing helped me come back to myself.

Solander BIG FRIDAY

Solander BIG FRIDAY

“I have waited for years to film Cape Solander big, like real big. And it could not have happened on a better day. Here’s part one of two exceptional days, Good Friday and Easter Saturday. Cape Solander turns back into Cape Fear with waves measuring 6 to 10 feet with some 15 foot bombs. Featuring the Mad Hueys, Max McGuigan, Oscar Berry and Jimmi Hill. Plus the Mullet Lord, Kipp Caddy and others. This swell was so raw it was almost unsurfable. But when the Cape is breaking these surfers don’t say no.” Tim Bonython

‘The Ugly Duckling’

‘The Ugly Duckling’

When Torren Martyn and Aiyana Powell put out the message that they might need an experienced hand to guide the 35ft sailing boat ‘Calypte’ up the Malacca Strait and around to Sumatra, sailor and filmmaker Kelly Foote offered to help. While showing Torren and Aiyana the ropes, Kelly started filming and a story emerged.

Surfboard shaper Simon Jones and Torren had been developing a performance-focused twin fin that would work at challenging shallow reef passes and atolls. As the voyage progressed Torren and Simon devised a radically different-looking take on a tried and true shape.

‘The Ugly Duckling’, a Not by Chance Film by Kelly Foote, gives insight into how genuine surfboard design occurs when there’s a deep connection between surfer and shaper.

Kirra Goes Psycho – Jack Robinson

Kirra Goes Psycho – Jack Robinson

Surfing Kirra during the historic Cyclone Alfred swell. Easily some of the best Kirra I’ve ever surfed—one for the history books. Kirra’s wild from the beach, but from the lineup, it’s a whole different beast! Seeing those things spit and knowing someone’s deep inside is next level. When it all lines up, the Gold Coast of Australia can provide some of the most perfect waves in the world. This will be a day to remember! Let me know what you guys think and please like and subscribe! More videos coming soon.

Rileys Rundown…

Rileys Rundown…

Riley’s is one of the craziest waves in the world, breaks over super shallow slab of rock and a lot of days it’s not surfable. Whether is be the tide , wind or swell directions it takes a lot for these big clean days to happen so to score one like this is super epic .
