Giving it the respect it deserves
The similarities between making an espresso and paddling big waves couldn’t be more similar. Every variable becomes that much more important, it’s a volatile process and can be a very violent thing. 135 pounds of pressurised water (the weight of an adult human being), being forced through a tiny wafer of coffee and any missteps [...]
Fathoms Left to Fall
“The yin and yang of a trip. The highs and the lows. The epic rides and the epic falls. Surfing isn’t a easy game to get right, once in a lifetime 50 ft faces followed by a endless search for shelter. Tides reveal dry reefs, squalls break promises. Rain dampens enthusiasm, talk of hidden secrets [...]
Riding coat tails
They revolve their 52 weeks around the biggest swells in the world and when you hear from them just before a big swell is about to push through, it’s impossible not to get caught up in it all. Carlos Burle, Chris Bertish and Grant Washburn have been little and big parts of what we’ve done [...]

The Corner
His name is Karl Mackie. He just recently locked up a beautiful piece in this months issue of The Surfer’s Path. When we saw it and heard that Karl lived not so far away, we decided to meet. We talked about his board shaping, his resin tints, his photography and the dream of a book. [...]

We also wanted to use state-of-the-art technology, along with advanced filming and editing techniques, to [...]

Over 4 years ago Steve Jones got in touch with us and said that he was putting a film together. He said it would be cold and wet where he was going and that he needed some products for him and crew, to keep them safe, to keep them warm. We didn’t ask too many [...]
What happens under the water
As an accomplished documentary photographer, in the past Mark has used the ocean as an escape for some solace away from his projects. Lately, while between projects he’s been “hanging out” below the surface trying to capture what happens while swimming on a slow summer’s day. “Coming from a surfing background I used to wonder [...]
A project…
DARK SIDE OF THE LENS from Astray Films on Vimeo.
Some very gifted people are coming together to create something very special. It will be a project over the next year or so, we don’t want to say too much, there is no timeline, the people involved in it are very special to this place and the man behind it, was the man behind this [...]
Surfing with Reno Kai
Carlos is the first athlete we got on board. Over the years we’ve seen him capture big wave titles, marry and grow a family. We were speaking the other day and he said there was a cool little video he had of his boy Reno Kai. Somethings telling us he’ll be followig in the footsteps [...]
