These Violent Delights Featuring Craig Anderson, Micky Clarke, Oscar Langburne, Dylan Graves, and Jake Kelley is a film set in the here and now, 7 days, a boat trip with friends – the kind you fantasize about during the 9-5 and scrape together your pennies for every few years if you’re lucky. There’s a little bit of searching involved, but mostly it’s a packaged dream every average joe can take a swing at if the waves permit. All you need is good boards, good company and barrels so crisp they’re a cliché.
Shot and edited by Dave Fox and Blake Myers with contributions from Dion Agius, These Violent Delights documents an unforgettable cast of characters that together form a critical thread of Haydenshapes’ 23 year old brand. Young people making cool things for fun.
Firstly we don’t condone dropping in or burning anyone, it’s very naughty, but if you do, say sorry, then why not share a barrel with them, check out this epic 3 man barrel, it’s fun to share, right? This controversial move happened on an epic session at Roka Puta, Basque Country. Three surfers riding a barreling XL bomb at the same time.
Nathan Florence takes you behind the scenes at the recent epic Jaws Big Wave Champs. Follow the preparation both mental and physical as they fine tune up to the start of the event. 20mins in the action drops and the beast awakes, crazy footage, insane waves, insane people, we salute you.
Gwen Spurlock has been there done that. Won everything there is to win in Britain and travelled all over. Now she’s helping spread the stoke to the next generation:
‘Over the last 5 months, I have had the pleasure of coaching / mentoring this group of young girls with the @thehowpeople. It brings a real smile to my face to see the amount of joy surfing gives them. Thank you @polly_crook and @bendylegsjo for being the best team to work with. I feel really lucky to be developing HOW Surf with the both of you. A massive thank you to @britishsurfing for getting behind this movement of empowering young girls through surfing. Lots of appreciation to @welshsurfing_@surfschoolwsf. Lucy @therighttoroamfilms thank you so much for this piece – #HOWFamily. #ThisGirlCan#SupportingGrassroots
Friday 13th December, ominous for some. When the shark spotters alarm goes off and you actually see the shark, yay, fun times, especially if you’re a shark. The Shark Spotters did an amazing job spotting the sharks in the bay. This one cruising appears to be a bronze whaler.
Western Australia is rich in resources and to local surfers the most valuable of them is found where the desert meets the sea. Filmmaker Kim Feast's latest Taking Off edit dives deep into this special zone.
