Fall 2009

Fall 2009 ended with a flurry of swells and picture perfect conditions in Santa Cruz for the Coldwater Classic. As the storms of the Pacific Ocean begin to heat up and winter kicks into full gear, I will be making my annual pilgrammage to the North Shore. Subpar conditions have ruled the beaches this week so it is good time to reflect on the past few months.

Prior to coming home from Trestles in September I produced this video for Vans on Patrick Gudauskas. Pat and the G Bros are truly well rounded people that excel at more than just surfing. In this video we take a look at Pat's day at home in San Clemente.

Then it was off to the Pacific Northwest into Bigfoot Country for a Vans trip. Dylan Graves, Kalani Robb, Teddy Navarro, Staff Photographer Dave Nelson, and myself blazed through California, Oregon, and Washington on the 101 and had an incredible adventure along the way.
Here is a video I produced for Vans about our journey Northbound.




And finally the Coldwater Classic was a huge success with a massive swell running and summer time weather. I had the opportunity to be a production manager for O'Neill international this year and help with the production of their documentary based around a 5 contest series they put on in 2009. I also coordinated the webcast for surfing live which was widely viewed throughout the world. To view O'Neill upcoming documentary go the www.oneill.com/cwc

Well my next blog will be coming from the Vans house here in Hawaii.

Red Bull Videos from the Hurley Pro 2009

Lower Trestles was the sight of the 2009 Hurley Pro where aussie Mick Fanning dominated the field. A mix of power and consistency in the final was too much to handle for an exhausted Dane Reynolds. Dane and Mick were the standouts of the event, Mick's precision and Dane's explosive free surf antics, were destined to meet in the final. In the end Mick Fanning took home the richest prize in surfing history and gained some serious momentum going into the world title race in France. Check out these videos I did for Red Bull.

Lowers Trestles WCT Contest 2009

The Hurley Pro at Trestles has invaded Southern California. The past week I have been working with San Clemente's finest, the Gudauskas Brothers, and Hurley Pro Wildcard, Kai Barger, producing profile videos for Surfline and Vans.

Last night I attended Surfer Poll with the Red Bull team and had a blast cruising on the Double Decker bus to the oscars of the surf world. Check out the video from the evening on redbullsurfing.com next week.

Here are the videos I produced with wildcard Kai Barger for Surfline.com. Here are the 3 episodes.
