Couch surfer
You know there's more to surf films than Spicoli in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and Point Break's Johnny Utah, right?
Take a bite out of the contemporary surf film movement and lose yourself in the dreamy, romantic seascapes of surf filmmaker Thomas Campbell. A member of the Moonshine Conspiracy, a surf-artist crew that counts Jack Johnson and The Malloy Brothers among its members, Campbell's documentaries "Sprout" and "The Seedling" (shot on 16mm film) capture the laid-back, graceful vibe of the surfing subculture, with a nod to the old-school 70s California vibe. "Sprout" (2004) changed the way people looked at surfing, and features some of the sport's greatest, like Rob Machado, Belinda Baggs, Joel Tudor, Dan Malloy, Tom “Weggy” Wegener, and C.J. Nelson. "The Seedling" focuses on a small band of California logriders.
To see a trailer for Campbell's latest film "The Present" (out this Fall), click here.

Thomas Campbell’s work was featured in the Beautiful Losers exhibition, curated by Aaron Rose and Christian Strike. Buy his movies here.
