Bloody Paul McCartney and underwater bodysurfing

A killer run of Jack McCoy underwater footage from Teahupo'o. Double the fun if you like Maccas music ..

Immersion

Tim Bonython makes films about surfing and surf stuff. They are good. They are worth watching. His latest is Immersion.

A wee smattering of bodysurfing in the trailer, including some seal like maritime tom foolery underwater dolphin bodysurfing upside down.. 

The whole thing is worth watching.. 

Danny Hess making Handplanes Fullstop

Hess shaving wood. I saw a few of these when bumming around the States last year...super light, lithe, proportioned..they look good, and things that look good tend to go good....but they were alot bigger than I expected..I've never used a handplane that big.. must be a pain in the ass to swim with.. I'd probably just mount it on the wall and tell lies about the monster waves I caught with it.

Handplane to Rivermouth - a little film...

"The idea is simple. To use as little energy as possible to ride waves in a new way."









A film about handplanes and people and waves and a place in England and people and handplanes.

Drift surfing did a feature article on it....

Stranger Mag said some nice things about it.

...and it was shown recently at the London Surf film festival held this month where "Stoked and Broke" and "Come Hell or High Water" both had their UK debuts...

How to make a Handplane -Deux

Go make your own.

This little video is from a bunch of creative woodworking frenchies from Hidden Wood out of Anglet on the south west French coast... pumping out alias, handplanes and other sliding devices..



If you are from the US, this video might be blocked...the mangy bastards have blocked it because of the song used in the clip
try this link instead...
orr...this one... Can someone in the US let me know if that worked?




where is Anglet? Have a look...even better, go there...one of the great surf regions.. epic waves, epic food, epic people. and breadbaskets full of bodysurfers... you could even take a non surfing missus and she'll be happy as hell... who'd say no to a trip to the french sea side?
