So, Bonnie Land would not have been possible without an incredible number of people. A 3 minute film weaved together from 3 years of experiences in the North of Scotland. The folk of the Highland community, and everyone across the UK and Ireland who gave a stranger places to stay, car repairs, warmth, food, friendship, waves and most of all a place to call home. I will never forget your kindness.
To @darknorthscotland and @lindseygallacher for your support as an artist, I will always be grateful. Helaina, your voice is truly the icing on the cake, I know how terrifying the thought of narrating the film was.
@bridie.marie and @sultana557 - my confidence when it was gone, my strength through sadness, words will never be enough. @thomashorig/

Following the ISA’s statement on December 5th, 2023, the French Polynesian Government decided to move forward with a lighter and less impactful version of the judging tower in Teahupo’o.
Marine surveys of the location and a construction test are being conducted in the upcoming days. Until the outcome of those tests are complete, the ISA reserves any further comment.
The ISA is responsible for the Olympic surfing competitions. All decisions on infrastructure are the responsibility of the French Polynesian Government and the Paris 2024 Organising Committee.
The ISA will continue to advocate for an environmentally sustainable solution.
‘Vacuum’ the latest visual portrait from director Kai Neville, offers a captivating visual collage of the Epokhe surf team. Collected from various locations around the globe, these clips provide a kaleidoscopic depiction of their world. Shot primarily around beloved home breaks, the film captures iconic footage of the team in action. While showcasing familiar faces, the film also introduces fresh talent, punctuated by a reverent tribute to the previously unseen archives of OCCY, thoughtfully curated by Jack McCoy. ‘Vacuum’ is a sensory banquet of surf action.
