caught the premiere for the latest surf flick installment from Thomas Campbell at the Victoria Theater in the Mission, SF. The Present is an excellent film, and seeing a movie like this is an excellent time. we just don’t have surf movie showings like this back east. long line around the corner, beer in paper bags. twelver of tecate and rowdy in the balcony with a fun crew. good band playing before the showing, the Mattson 2. hoots and hollers and whistles for all the good parts. but now I know why they don’t serve beer in movie theaters! I had to piss like mad, but didn’t want to miss any of the truly class footage. beautiful stuff. incredible segment riding ancient, finless Alai surf board riding… including sessions at Sunset and Waimea Bay.
