Not many people embody the true spirit of California the way Jared Mell does. With an outlook on life so laid back it’s practically horizontal and a carefree approach to surfing which oozes class and style, Jared has forged his own way of life.
Director Josh Penn Soskin brings us a beautifully crafted insight into Jared’s world, a world without rules and without destinations. A world with an open road.
My Road Series / Nic von Rupp / Two Islands – Vol II
The Hawaiian Islands are known as the proving ground for any surfer thriving for a professional career.
Due to its constant and heavy surf, every year the surfing community returns for the winters on the North Shore of Ohau, ready to take a piece of one of the world’s most perfect yet dangerous wave, Pipeline.
In Two Islands, the second of four episodes of My Road Series, Nic von Rupp shares his perspective of the busy and active North Shore and what it takes to have the opportunity to surf at Pipeline, to then visit the neighbor island of Maui where he meets Albee Layer’s home, a laid back hippie town that still holds it’s crowd-less jewels.
The contrast between these Two Islands and it’s stories is what sets the tone for this informal documentary co-featuring Albee Layer, John John Florence, Vasco Ribeiro, Matt Meola and many others.
The surf has been pumping on the west facing coasts of Britain and Ireland. Whilst we’ve been enjoying super fun beachies this has been happening over in Co. Clare. A certain Mr Dorian flew over to hook with Sancho and the local shams for a mega session at the Cliffs and Rileys. Hit the links on the Insty shots to give the crew a follow.
