Last night at the Lido Theatre in Newport, Vans unveiled their first-ever surf film featuring the likes of Dane Reynolds, Joel Tudor, Ratboy, Kalani Chapman, Nathan Fletcher, Dylan Graves, Andrew Doheny, Alex Knost, the brothers Florence, and the brothers Gudauskas. After the credits rolled, the crew made their way to the Boathouse in Costa Mesa to get classic at the open bar and rock out to some tunes by Alex Knost’s new musical outfit, Tomorrows Tulips, followed by a set from The Entrance Band. Below are a few shots from the night’s festivities.

Looks like a blast!!!
Too bad everyone couldn’t make it back to the Boathouse Collective on Thursday to watch MANUFACTURING STOKE, a documentary about sustainability in the surf industry. Hopefully we will see you at our next show August 11 at the OC Tavern.

Stop Me if You’ve Heard This One Before

They say if you walk in like you own the place, then you’re halfway to where you’re going. Well, Kelly announced his arrival at Cloudbreak this morning by burning some hot laps on his jet ski through the lineup, shooting follow-footage of local surfer Aca Lalabalavu who was heavily piped at the time. Kelly dismounts and paddles straight out for his quarter against Seabass, and that’s when things really start to burn. John John, still dripping wet, catches Kelly’s first perfect 10 and comments, “I don’t know, but from here it kinda looked like a 20.” John John didn’t know how prophetic he was being, because it’s only a matter of minutes later that Kelly draws another wall of Pacific toward him. It’s bigger, foamier and throatier than the first, and tail of his 5’10” quad is doing it’s best to skip out from under him. CJ offers, “Man, that thing was a bull ride!”…and it was another 10. That’s your perfect heat, right there folks, the fifth in pro surfing and Kelly’s second. History made before 10am. The signs for the rest of the day are there early. When Kelly comes in and starts talking about the significance of the feat, he adds the caveat that, “Man, the way the waves are out there today, someone could go real close to getting another one.” And when he says someone, well, you probably know who he means.

Opinion

The much-hyped swell event at Teahupoo has quickly become a real-time global spectacle. Whether or not that spectacle is worth celebrating, however, is something to consider.
