So, it's been a while since I started a thread, and keeping in theme with my other posts, this will be for the boardriders amongst us. From me noticing Fabes' skate shot for his avatar, to SurpriseMVP's Hot Tuna avatar (not sure if that's why it's used, maybe they will see this and clarify), but I thought there has to be more boardriders amongst us. And, gathering inspiration from Mika's immense contribution with his 100+ page thread, here will be where we post everything "sideways."

So if you surf, skate, snowboard or wakeboard, this will be where it's at!

First edition, will be of reasonably recent vintage. The Distant Shores Movie, is a punchy 15 minute film from 2012 that has something for everyone. It has an epic soundtrack and is focussed on the travel aspect of the surfer's life, with some fairly remote locales visited.

Enjoy and froth on!

I've just started learning to surf after moving to a coastal suburb to live. I've done a lot of sports but this is super hard for me. It took me several sessions to even stand up. I've been going ev

I surfed and skateboarded a lot through my teen years while living on Sydneys northern beaches (Curl Curl, DeeWhy, Collaroy) but obviously haven't done a lot since moving to Toronto, now I snowboard

I skateboarded for a number of years

Was never that good at it but I enjoyed it

I Havent touched a skateboard it since I took a massive fall and broke my collar bone.

I figured it was the universe telling me it was time to pursue other hobbys

This will be a fun thread! I've been skateboarding for about 20 years now and don't plan on stopping any time soon. Had a good friend I grew up skating with come visit a few weeks back. We had a little skateventure weekend all around the SF bay area. It was great, but I was quickly reminded that my body was not used to three 8 hour days of skateboarding. Definitely worth it though!

Enjoyed that clip, thanks. I'm not a surfer (unless you count bodysurfing, which I'm sure you don't), but I love surfing films. Ever watch Riding Giants? It's a hell of a film...

Can we include kitesurfing as well. If so I'm in! as we speak I'm praying to the wind gods for a decent session this weekend! I think something in the order of a 25 knot so'westerly would be just about right please!

Of course! Welcome! Rad clip too!

Second instalment!

I am curating some skate, wake, kite and snow vids right now for future posts, but thought I should upload this special surf vid to really get the thread going.

This is a little edit of Shipsterns Bluff, the vid is called The Originals.

Shipsterns is a famous wave down in Tasmania. The reef at Shipsterns has a super shallow section that makes the wave go all weird, and jacks up a wicked step in the face of the wave. The thing is, it gets pretty big swell also which makes it even more gnarly. The most special thing about this clip is it features a mate of mine, Tassie local, Mikey Brennan. Watch for about 30 seconds in, where he sculls a beer while in the barrel. Even more hardcore is he is wearing boardies (boardshorts) rather than a wettie (wetsuit) and the water is absolutely baltic down there. Anyway, should probably post this in the daily beer thread just for that effort.

Enjoy

More of a collector then skater now. Big Gonz fan and got a few Natas boards hanging around the house too. Here is my big boy cruiser set up with some old school Indy trucks and Santa Cruz Bullet wheels. Man it used to be easy getting back up when we were kids not so much now.

Schweeet!

Who isn't a Gonzales fan? Or Natas for that matter?!?!

Wish I was allowed to hang decks on the wall.

Today's instalment is a visual treat that should appeal to everybody.

Massive Teahupo'o shot with a Phantom Camera.

I think whoever shot and edited this together, were inspired by Lakai's and Spike Jonze use of this epic M83 song in the intro to Fully Flared.

Either way, even in total silence this is pretty trucking awesome...Please watch in HD and full screen...Enjoy!

Thread not getting as much love as I'd hoped. snooty.gif

Went away for 4 days and it went to page 2. God forbid. pod.gif

Now, I know there are some dog lovers amongst us. So this one is for you!

I used to have a Dalmatian that would rinse this lot.

Got a harness and used to shred the tarmac up to the SLSC for surf checks in the morning when I lived at Marcoola.

Good times!

Look up Art of Flight.

I'm at work right now so I can't trawl youtube for a trailer, but it's basically an epic snowboard movie.

Too true! I've watched it a number of times. I used to work at Oakley and know most of the riders in this film from various events and film trips! Travis is a powerhouse, and becoming a bit of a visionary with his contributions towards the Supernatural event format

Here's the preview to Art of Flight for those who want a taster
