What's up

Effortless: Men of Byron Super skilled, some of them highly competitive, the young men of Byron Bay seem like any little pack of Australian surfers over the generations. They rip, they vibe off each other, and they live in one of the best places on earth. But as Clem captures in this very sweet piece, while their style of surfing looks as playful as anything we’ve ever seen, they take it very seriously. They’re trying to up the ante on classic style, the thing Kai Ellice-Flint calls “full of grace, hands were down … relaxed.” In other words, effortless. It’s a style of surfing that’s always at risk of vanishing in a hectic, crowded world, but this crew is keeping it alive and thriving with the help of their friends. “We definitely bonded through surfing because we were like-minded surfers,” says Kai. “We all had an interest in riding longboards at the time, or alternative craft. We don’t get to surf enough — I wish we could surf a little more together. But having friends that surf at such a high calibre is such a treat.” Filming, interviewing and editing by Clementine Bourke. Featuring: Kahu Andronicus, Kai Ellice-Flint, Myles Doughman, Jack Entwhistle, Jack Lynch, Christian “Wispy” Barker, and Ryan Conklin. Music: Habits (like glue), produced by Shane.MOV and Dnald Pump, lyrics by Serena, mastering by Suture Mastering | Space Water by Kooma | Invincible by orkas Sound design: Steve Nossiter Bob Evans Midget footage from “Ride A White Horse”, curated by the Surf Film Archive. ----------------------------------- Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@Surfline Become a Surfline Premium Member: https://surfl.in/2Cd36tF ----------------------------------

Buying Waves At A Busy Lineup | S.U.R.F S3 Episode 1 How much is a wave worth? Byron Bay’s ‘eat, pray, love’ mantra is the first thing that goes out the window when the swell swings east. In the dog-eat-dog world of wave-catching, the bottom-feeders typically get nothing and the rich… well they get everything. The one exception to this rule however, is at The Pass — Byron Bay’s premier point break which is regulated by a set of principles that closely mirror those of Karl Marx. The dumbest trickle-down feature of which is forced involuntary sharing. It is in this chaotic marine supermarket that Ozzy Wright, Ari ‘Krooky’ Browne and Jaleesa and Jake Vincent, armed with $200 and Byron Bay Brewery coupons, attempt to buy their way to the best waves on offer. Watch as the surfers use interpretive dance moves, method acting, desperate pleas and most of all moolah – in the hopes of striking a deal with a complete stranger. This is the first of four episodes (dropping weekly) where our four surfers compete to win $10K thanks to our friends at Byron Bay Brewery. It will be the third time we have given away our barely life-changing small pile of cash. To help us decide who wins we asked 9 local expert judges including: Stace Galbraith, Jacob Boylan, Kahu Andronicus, Karis Simmons, Josie Pendergast, Danny Wills, Vaughan Blakey, Shinya Dalby and Pauline Menczer – to determine who did best. Because they are experts, they determine 70% of the vote. The remaining 30% will be decided by the audience vote at our screening party in Byron on the 27th of October - which you should come to and tell all your friends about.
