Teahupoo, the sequels.
The swell that hit Tahiti early this week wasn’t just a one day wonder.
Here’s Day Two.
Phew.

End of the Road, Day One

A little more from Monday’s Teahupoo horror show.
The swell continued to hold in the huge range throughout Tuesday and Wednesday.
So … yes, there’ll be more.

Koa Rothman’s Teahupoo Monster

Here’s the biggest, baddest wave ridden during Monday’s massive Teahupoo session.
There were a lot of big, bad waves ridden all day, so that makes this one pretty damn Godzilla.

More Teahupoo to come …

Did you hear? There’s a major Code Red session going on at Teahupoo in Tahiti.
While you can watch it live, here, it’s a little distant.
So we’ve been following Peter Mel’s regular one-shot missives on Twitter (sent as Quiksilver).
What has the world come to? We can watch a swell out in the far mid-Pacific live on our laptops and see decent video of every ride seconds after they happen.
We’ll leave the existential questions aside for the minute. We’re a little too busy watching to get into all that.

Here’s Kealii Mamala’s bomb from … a few minutes ago.

Night Drive by Patrick Trefz

Here’s some news: San Sebastian Surfilm Festibal has now launched a new section on action sports in the world renowned San Sebastian International Film Festival. It’ll be called SAVAGE CINEMA, ADVENTURE AND ACTION SPORTS FILMS.
Here’s a film made by Patrick Trefz that sets the example for the kind of high-quality film they’ll be presented to the mainstream festival audience. See more in their press release at the bottom.
First, though, check Trefz’s spooky, moody big-wave film, Night Drive.

After the huge audience success enjoyed by BIG FRIDAY last year, and the quality of its movie proposals, this year sees the birth of SAVAGE CINEMA, a new section in collaboration with RED BULL MEDIA HOUSE, set to bring the best from the world of action sports, adventure, and the great outdoors to San Sebastian.

This new proposal is the perfect set up to become the world leading platform for presenting the latest and most outstanding productions in the rapidly growing field of adventure and action sports films. SAVAGE CINEMA is opening its doors to new techniques of filming, production and innovative ways of storytelling in action sports and outdoor film making, and aims to demonstrate the obvious evolution in the quality of these films.

The Anoeta Velodrome and different cinemas throughout the city will host these exciting screenings with regular attendance of the protagonists and filmmakers. A perfect occasion for the general public to enjoy the adrenaline of these adventures, almost as if they were actually doing the heart-stopping feats themselves. Because this is what these films set out to do: take the viewer to places that are usually not accessible to him, emotionally as well as physically. Audiences will experience real heroes by nature at the top of their game.

Rock-climbing, snow and mountain sports, surf and skateboard showcase some of the disciplines featured in the films to be presented in a programme of, at least, 5 titles. With no restrictions in genre, length or other formal criteria, we will feature documentaries as well as short and experimental films alongside fictional works.

Savage Cinema joins the Festival as a non-competitive section with its own selection committee: Maialen Beloki (member of the San Sebastian Festival Management/Selection Committee), Phillip Manderla (Filmmaker and Head of Feature Films at RBMH) and Sancho Rodríguez (Coordinator of Savage Cinema).

An ambitious project that turns the spotlight on the San Sebastian Festival as a global reference in the coming together of film and action & adventure sports to present the audience and industry (producers, distributors and exhibitors) with the best titles each year.
