BEAU CRAM – The O’Riginals

BEAU CRAM – The O’Riginals

The Sydney chippie is perhaps the most relatable O’Riginal yet.
A bloke who works the tools to save money for his next surf jaunt and to somewhere with big hollow pits. His is a story familiar to many of us. That is, until you realise he’s also the son of former Top10 power mongrel Richard Cram. The same Cram who melted people’s face’s off with his epic cutties in the iconic 80s surf film, The Performers.
Beau is the modern day nomad, doing things his way, on his terms.

London Surf Film Festival

London Surf Film Festival

London Surf / Film Festival has just dropped the line up for the 9th Annual LS/FF x VANS.

Hosted 9 – 12th October 2019 at the iconic Regent Street Cinema, London, the LS/FF team of ardent surfers, movie lovers and cultural commentators have assembled a handpicked line up of the very best films from across the globe that represent the pinnacle of contemporary surfing right now - hotly anticipated premieres, award winning features, and underground projects.

The carefully curated programme brings together documentaries to inspire, travelogues to stir the wanderlust, surfing that redefines the bounds of possibility plus a live A/V show to blow minds. Accompanied by Q+A’s and ‘Audiences with…’ some of the world’s most exciting and relevant surfers and creatives including icon Alex Knost, surfer / musician Lee-Ann Curren, big wave charger Dougal Patterson, award winning filmmakers including Spencer Frost, Chris McClean, Rick Wall, plus more special guests like Carve Magazine’s own Steve England it’s a celebration of the cream of surf culture.

“I’m super excited about the quality and diversity of this year’s line-up,” says LS/FF Director Demi Taylor. “From must-see documentaries that really get under the skin like the much anticipated Hobgood biopic And Two if by Sea, plus the stunning big wave tales like Satori and White Rhino these are stories about the people as much as the waves. Three years in the making, multi-award winning Jack Coleman has just dropped his new film Zone Frequency. Combining stunning cinematography and an epic soundtrack this is journey to the intersection of style, imagination and fun with some of the most radical and innovative surfers on the planet while Spencer Frost’s gorgeous A Corner of the Earth is a true tale of cold water adventures and frigid exploration. In an evening celebrating surf, sound and cinema we’re delighted to play host to the exclusive world premiere of Translate, the immersive audio / visual free surfing experiment from award-winning filmmaker Chris McClean and composer CJ Mirra. Performed live with musicians including Lee-Ann Curren, it captures the ephemeral nature of surfing, a moment that cannot be recreated.”

London Surf / Film Festival is bringing to the UK 2 World Premieres, 1 European Premiere and 6 UK Premieres. But it’s about more than that. LS/FF weaves together a true slice of surfing in the here and now, a showcase of the multi-layered world of waveriding. For many of the movies premiered, the festival will be the only chance to watch them as they were intended to be enjoyed – on the big screen, accompanied by a packed crowd of likeminded folk – the original “social media” experience. You’re not going to want to miss this!

Humpback Whale Plays in the Surf with Surfers and Dolphins!

Humpback Whale Plays in the Surf with Surfers and Dolphins!

A juvenile humpback whale graced the line up in Western Australia playing in the waves with dolphins and surfers.

On this day the dolphins were playing around in the waves for a while so I decided to throw my drone up and capture the dolphins from the sky. To my surprise a large shadow appeared, which turned out to be a humpback whale. At this spot along the coast we often see humpbacks breaching out to see but rarely in this close to the surfers and waves.

The whale and dolphins seemed to have a connection and were happy interacting with each other inside the break. This allowed a few surfers to experience some magical moments with the large mammal.

After about 4 minuets a large set came through breaking on the whale. This seemed to spook it, unfortunately causing the whale to dive off back into the depths of the Indian Ocean. This can be seen in the last clip of the video.

This was a memorable encounter for me and one where I was just in the right place at the right time with my drone.

Triangulares Route: Roberto D’amico

Triangulares Route: Roberto D’amico

I got an email early this year from Joe Radano whom I’d never met before. I was injured so I couldn’t surf at the time, after a month doctors said I could get back in the water. I was planning to get the ferry and go to Sardinia, I thought of Joe but I didn't know exactly where he was, he could still be in Italy. I called him up and he was keen to hook up. It was all pretty easy, I went to pick him up in Santa Marinella, we finally met and went straight on to Sardinia. It was probably the coldest I've ever seen, there was snow everywhere. We got a couple days of waves and then it looked like the swell was going to hit the Roman coast and so of we went! After that, one more swell was coming, this time up north in Levanto. It was a last minute call and sure Joe didn't say no! On the charts we made a TRIANGLE in one week, this is what you get in winter time in the Mediterranean Sea.

Mason Ho shot over to California last weekend (September 13-14 2019) for Brand Day with Rip Curl and scored some fun waves at the world famous Wedge. Lots of wipeouts, and sea shells became flying razors. Thanks to the locals for filming.
