Synopsis:
25 years ago, the early 90’s was dominated by the USA's momentum generation.
From their shadows emerged a new crew of gifted young aussies determined to make their mark on the sport & restore pride to home soil.

In the mid 90’s a young surfer Justin Gane documented their rise which birthed the surf film pulse.
The period was a coming of age and many become international superstars.
Overtime pulse would become a cult film.

Fast forward now to now and the next gen are emerging, a few spawned from the original pulse crew.
Pulse has returned this time capturing four generations of surfers in hope to bridge the gap and connect us all through our love of surfing.
Welcome to the reincarnation of pulse.
This is…….. RE-PULSE

Wallbenders

Wallbenders

Just before the outbreak of covid, Kristian Breivik from Lofoten Surfsenter, asked me to come to Jeffries Bay in South Africa, to make a documentary about a group of surf legends from California, by the name Wallbenders.

Two weeks ago I heard the sad news that their "leader" Rolf Sorenson (he would never call himself the leader) has gotten very ill. The insurance does not cover all expenses and it is becoming a burden mentally and physically.

We decided to publish the video now and draw attention to Wallbender's fundraiser, to help Rolf.

Watch the video and if you want to see Rolf "The Snake" back in the water, check out the fundraiser to get Rolf back in the water here:

Cadavre Exquis

Cadavre Exquis

Vans Surf is proud to present our latest film, Cadavre Exquis, a compilation of art, music and film that came together in 2020 amongst a group of friends and fellow Vans Surf family members at a time when the world was on pause. The French term Cadavre Exquis, meaning “Exquisite Corpse,” is a method of collectively sourcing and assembling words or images from a group of collaborators, with each adding to the composition in sequence while only allowed to see the end of what the previous person contributed. The resulting film, which is set to premiere November 10, 2021, is a true reflection of its title, providing an outlet for all involved to find creative ways to come together and express themselves during the days spent in isolation.

Created by the women of Vans’ Surf team, Cadavre Exquis features a talented cast who contributed surf clips, art, and music, including Lee-Ann Curren, Margaux Arramont-Tucoo, Ainara Aymat, Leila Hurst, Lola Mignot, Pua Desoto, Karina Rozunko, Bella Kenworthy, Hanna Scott, Holly Wawn and Chelsea Woody. The soundtrack features original tracks composed by Curren and Scott, as well as artists AYO, Glenn Michael Van Dyke and Lena Simon of Kairos Creature Club, Chloé Thévenin, Maia Ibar, Thee Leatherettes, Big Joanie, Clovis Donizetti, and Cécile Mestelan, among others.

“Everyone featured in the film was really hands-on with filming, creating art pieces, directing their part, having a say in the music or actually making it, and recording sounds. Each of us shot the surf section over two months, filmed by friends or sometimes family, either at home or wherever we were living at the time. It was a collaborative process all the way, from the first idea to the end credits. The result is a testimony of this past year— of our friendships, our surfing, our influences, and how we got to create something that brought us all even closer in times when we couldn't hang out in person.” — Lee-Ann Curren

dryrobe® announces 100% recycled range

dryrobe® announces 100% recycled range

dryrobe® has announced that every new dryrobe® Advance produced is now made with entirely recycled fabrics. This upgrade was made without compromising the high-level performance you’d expect from the toughest change robe out there.

The dryrobe® Advance’s uniqueness comes from their signature super-warm synthetic lambswool lining, now produced with 100% recycled polyester. This fast-drying lining ensures that it can be used numerous times throughout the day without the hassle of drying in between uses.

The introduction of 100% recycled fabrics doesn’t end there. The sleek waterproof and windproof outer shell fabric is sustainably created with 100% recycled nylon, otherwise destined for landfill, meaning that both the inner and outer of the dryrobe® Advance has a huge appeal for those searching for a sustainably conscious and high-performance changing robe.

From fabric to finish, dryrobe® has sealed the dryrobe® Advance range with an eco-friendly BIONIC-FINISH® ECO water-repellent treatment to waterproof the fabric. This plant-based, PFC-free treatment doesn’t contain any harmful compounds.

About dryrobe®

Founded by Cornish surfer Gideon Bright, the original dryrobe® change robe that we know today evolved from a design concept initially created by Gideon’s mum. It has since developed into the ultimate waterproof and weatherproof kit for those who regularly go in the water, whether that’s surfing or any other watersport. Designed to allow you to change in any location, it is the ultimate companion for anyone who loves the outdoors, offering the ultimate protection from what nature has to offer.

Available from £140- £160. Check out the range and learn more about their sustainability mission at dryrobe.com
