  Tim Reyes is on the bus!

  January 27, 2012 / All Films, Surf Trips, USA Surfers

  This is an interview I shot with Californian pro surfer Timmy Reyes, sitting with his girlfriend Megan in the Red Bull tour truck during the 2010 O’Neill Cold Water Classic in Thurso. Tim’s a super-chilled guy, pretty laid back and cruising up and down the Californian coast in his Toyota truck, sometimes venturing into remote spots in Mexico, such as Puerto Escondido and suchlike.  During 2010 he wants taking the Tour pretty easy, after 10 straight years of travelling.  Despite [...]

  Brad Ettinger – A long way from home

  December 30, 2011 / All Films, USA Surfers

   Loose Films caught up with Huntingdon Beach pro surfer Brad Ettinger a while back, whilst Brad was competing in the O’Neill Cold Water Classic in Thurso, Scotland.   Brad talks about a typical day when he’s back home, surfing with Brett Simpson and other local surfers, as well as the areas of his surfing he’s focussing on right now. Brad is actually quite an inspiration and he probably doesn’t fit the archetypal model of what surfer looks like.   As well as [...]

  Sunny “Tricks are for kids!”

  December 3, 2011 / All Films, Featured, Hawaii, USA Surfers

  Sunny Garcia is the only interview I’ve ever prepared questions for. Why? Because Sunny Garcia comes with a certain reputation. He had just got out of prison. A few years earlier, I stood on the beach at Pipeline, watching a rather unhappy Sunny Garcia chasing a rather worried Neco Padaratz up the beach. Over beers, you hear stories. I’m not taking chances. Well researched questions and stick to the script. That’s my plan. Scotland. Not the most glamorous location on [...]

  Kolohe Andino and Luke Davis

  December 3, 2011 / All Films, Featured, USA Surfers

  The standard of surfing in this video is pretty incredible, when you consider that Kolohe Andino and Luke Davis are surfing very mediocre waves on tiny boards. This was shot around 6:30am on Fistral Beach, Newquay, England. Jet-lagged, they had just landed in England from LA, where they’d been surfing in the US Open of Surfing at Huntington Beach just days prior. Like most of the Loose Films interviews, this one came about more by luck and persistence, than planning. [...]

  Patrick Gudauskas Movie!

  December 3, 2011 / All Films, USA Surfers

  One of the first things I noticed when I met Patrick Gudauskas was his positivity and confidence. In fact, let’s scrub all that and just call him very friendly. A likeable guy. Very Californian. Most of us could keep only up that facade for maybe five minutes. Pat’s seemingly kept it up all his life. His enthusiasm is contagious, especially when you’re in the company of all three brothers – Dane, Tanner and Pat. Pat surfed well in this contest [...]

  Gabe Kling Portugal Film

  December 3, 2011 / All Films, USA Surfers

  This is a video profile on Gabe Kling, from Florida, on his way to a second place finish during a WQS contest in Portugal. Gabe was born and raised in the United States’ oldest city of St. Augustine, Florida. This was filmed just as he was getting back onto the WCT Top 44, alongside fellow elite East Coasters including Slater and the Hobgoods. The powerful natural-footer’s rookie year on the ASP World Tour came in 2007, but he was unable [...]

  Clay Marzo exclusive movie

  December 3, 2011 / All Films, Featured, Hawaii, USA Surfers

  Clay Marzo has become somwehat of a surfing legend, and for good reason. I’m so gutted I did not get a chance to interview him on this occasion. He was there one minute… gone the next! This short film was shot during a howling gale in Lanzarote and, not having the camera on a tripod, the footage is shocking! I was with Omer Bar at the time (Omer is seen briefly in the film, talking to Clay), during one of [...]
