With the entire surfing world, well let’s face it the entire everything world on pause. Italo Ferreira has been making the most of his downtown, surf everyday regardless of the conditions, that’s what makes a champ, a champ. Click in to watch Italo enter the stratosphere, BOOM.
“PENTACOASTAL” was inspired by the tonalities of Australian cult cinema. Directors Wade Goodall and Shane Fletcher have merged these filmic elements within the body of a surf film through emotive animations, an undulating soundscape, and a subliminal narrative which follows a quasi-recursive map depicted by a pentagram drawn on the map of Australia.
“A recollection of Australasian exploration following a quasi-recursive map, with elemental moments of expressive wave worship.”
Featuring: Wade Goodall, Dane Reynolds, Harry Bryant, Nathan Fletcher, Pat Gudauskas, Dylan Graves, Nathan Florence, Tanner Gudauskas and Kyuss King. Epic stuff, pull in above.
“I couldn’t believe my eyes when myself and two mates encountered a large 6-meter white pointer while fishing thirty miles from Dawsville, Western Australia. The monster shark approached the back of the boat. I thought it was going to take a bite out of my prop before turning and circling the boat three times watching us closely then going directly under the boat, almost making contact. It was then I felt that we needed to go.” Just letting us know who is really in charge out there.
Neither man set out to be a songwriter. Jack could have made it in surfing, and Ryan as a bull rider. In this episode, they find a likeness and a naturalness in one another’s music and the identity searching that lead to their sound.

This left Johnson with little else to do but play the guitar, his ‘second’ hobby after surfing soon grew into an amazing career. And his new teeth are pretty bitey and whitey also.
