Digging the 80ish graphics too. More on the super spectacular website.

Hanging Five is a movie about art and surfing that looks at why the surf culture supports and creates art. It comes to us from the filmmaker who brought us Riding The Wave, which is a great look at capitalism in surfing.

This feature on Surfline just got me insanely stoked on seeing the present this weekend in Encinitas at the La Paloma. Maggie and I have our tickets, we’ve seen the trailer, we bought the Mattson 2 album and some Ray Barbee tunes and we are ready to see it all diced and spliced, packaged and shit… what’s surfy that rhymes with packaged? Crackage… swackage? Anyways, you know all the heads are going to be there and that afterward, the Saloon will be impossible to navigate. MMMM MMM fun.

If you don’t have your tickets head down to see Devon at Patagonia Cardiff. I wonder if the tickets have the same ironclad guarantee as everything else they sell?

Here are some pics from the flick you might not have seen yet…

Seaworthy: Official Trailer.

I ran into some dude who looked just like Gnar Gnar in LA a few days ago. Turns out it was Gnar Gnar, who was in town from Planet C to mine stoke at the BU. You can still pick up a copy of his infectiously funny flick at the Invasion Store.

This non-street legal vehicle arrives in Costa Mesa May 30th and June 5th at Hensly’s in Carlsbad. The only catch is, you’ve got to listen to the Japanese motors so drink early and often.

Very few surf movies venture beyond surfing’s shallows… surfers, waves, turns, tubes, airs… it’s rare that a tough topic is breached. Between The Lines (trailer), though, is a documentary about the path’s two surfer’s lives take during the Vietnam War and it dives right into surfing’s deep end.

You can see the film at Hansen Surfboards in Encinitas, California on Thursday, June 26 and July 25 - 8 PM at the Huntington Beach Art Center.

Nathan Oldy sent in his latest trailer for Seaworthy the other day. That officially makes it trailer week at 70, and I for one am stoked we’ll soon have three new films (with TCs The Present) out to stoke us on every aspect of surfing, from logs to fish to planks of wood.

You can spy the first Seaworthy trailer here.
