There is much more to prone surfing than what meets the eye.
For me, it is a unique feeling that maybe only the initiated can genuinely appreciate. And more importantly, it is about the unusual people you have never heard of, who ride waves on surfmats, bellyboards, handplanes and other little known surfing gear.
So here we are with a collection of video portraits and short films that are a bit different from what you usually see in the surf media. They are my way to capture the beauty and poetry of these unique surfing practices on the fringe of our broader surfing community.
I hope you will enjoy these fringe surfer stories as much as I have enjoyed creating them.

The case of D. L. Brandts
This film was conceived way out in the dry desert of Death Valley -- mix one part Twilight Zone, one part Mission Impossible, and the desire to make a surf film with a zesty soundtrack, then let's see what happens. Season 1.5 of fringesurfer.tv explores the need to vent some creativity after a long dark winter, to keep alive the fun-loving matness that every mat rider shares, and to feel the velocity and trajectory of our game, whether we're in the water or cooped up in our living room. Nobody said it has to make sense - it’s a feeling!

The Intricacies of Mat Surfing ... in a Nutshell
Просмотров 25 тыс.4 года назад
I proudly present Graeme Webster in "The Intricacies of Mat Surfing ... in a Nutshell". As a UK based surfmat-builder, Graeme hardly needs an introduction as almost everyone in the surfmat world seems to know him. I had the honour to film him building mats, and to shoot his surfing during several occasions over the last few years. In my opinion, he not only builds some of the finest surfmats in...
Drawing Lines

I proudly present Tom Threinen in "Drawing Lines". Tom is an artist and surfer who thought he had left the ocean for good when he moved to Nevada to start a money-making career. At some point, he began thinking about surfing again and started drawing waves. And as luck would have it, Tom reconnected with writer Drew Kampion. Together they revived the cartoon character, Don Redondo, for the Brit...

I am proud to present Justin Spittle, a super high energy waterman from New South Wales in Australia. Justin got into mat surfing and bodysurfing due to a back injury that prevented him from popping up on a surfboard. After getting a surfmat, Justin realises that riding one of those "blow up pool toys" is way more challenging than it looks. With sheer persistency, he learned the dance of the ma...

In this video you meet Warren Pfeiffer a real a surfmat rider celebrity. That is if there is such a thing.
