Otelo Burning

Alex Dick-Read — Fri, 11 May 2012 17:47:31 +0000

Somewhere between City of God and Blue Crush OteloBurning is a coming of age story set against the backdrop of Nelson Mandela’s release from prison. It’s an emotional story of kids in the township learning to surf. It’s a story of the explosive potential for change at the time of apartheid’s end – all seen through a child’s eye.

Code Red – giant Teahupoo retrospective

Alex Dick-Read — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 20:32:46 +0000

A Billabong film celebrating the enormous swell that hit Tahiti during last year’s ASP contest.

On August 27, 2011, the Billabong Pro Tahiti event on surfing’s World Tour was placed on hold due to a massive swell bearing down on the famed big-wave spot, Teahupoo. With forecasts calling for unprecedented surf, some of the greatest surfers in the world descended on the island to be in the water, despite a “Code Red” called by the Tahitian Coast Guard, which sought to keep everyone on shore. See the historic day through the eyes of two surfers — the young gun Laurie Towner and the veteran Dylan Longbottom — as they catch some of the biggest, most dangerous surf ever recorded, much of it captured with the super slow motion Phantom Camera for never-before-seen imagery.

If you’re a human being, living on planet Earth, this might be relevant to you.
While there are skeptics everywhere you look these days, one place you don’t find many people who think global warming is a load of nonsense, is in the fields of science that study these things in detail – meteorology, climatology, oceanography, etc.
This two part series comes from the Yale Forum on Climate Change and the Media and it’s a timely little round up of why our weather has been acting weird and why some people’s northern hemi surf season went south.
