Does Anchor Point ring a bell? We shot this video in the land of the endless righthand pointbreaks. Marocco is a beautiful country with a rich and strong culture. We got there at night with no place to stay and we got lucky enough that a local guy rented us his own house right on the rocks at Anchor Point. We didn't live their culture, we double-backflipped into it!
A couple of years back, when Nine Nine was just a thought, we only had An Amateur's Surfing Tale, amateurs video shot with a GoPro. We had a couple of nice edit almost ready to be uploaded when robbers got into our apartment in London and stole computers and hard drives. We lost many hours of work and a lot of visual memories. I went for a revengful, cold, lonely trip to Newquay just to have new footage to edit with. Now this video is just a reminder of the freezing waves of Queen Elizabeth.
Watching the best surfers in the word form the beach is a must do if you are a surfer yourself. We bring you footage, good all footage. To make justice to the live experience however, we went hard on editing.
We are lucky enough to have a beautiful ballet dancer on board. She grew up within art and is used to be the subject of a visual show. Her experience in visual spectacles is as priceless to Nine Nine as it is priceless for any human being to watch her dance.
This video is just an improvised unload of kinetic energy shot and edited amatorially for your enjoyment.

We were filming a surf boat trip for a couple on their honeymoon down in Nicaragua. It was the guy's birthday as well and everything turned out accordingly, he caught a big fish, got super fun barrels all day long and had lunch on a beautifull isolated typical Nicaraguan beach.
On the way back to the resort mother nature made sure none of us was ever gonna forget that day...
Azienda Agricola Mascetti/Sbardella snc. is amongst the biggest agrarian companies in Italy. Located beautifully in the roman countryside and equiped with impressive leading-technology machinary.
We documented their workflow during the peak season for ground harvesting.
Mango Rosa down in Nicaragua took us in like sons, and all of its clients were family to us. A beautiful couple form Florida was on honey moon surf trip Nica style(...yes they got life sorted). This particular day was the guy's birthday, I don't mean to spoil your visual trip, anyways it can't be done with words, he scored sand bottom barrels, epic happy hour spot and whales, yes, whales. And probably some over 18 stuff as well. We felt bless to be in charge of documenting all of it.
What if someone told you that there's a place you can call home right in the middle of the pacific ocean, on an island that most people would very originally define paradise on earth? Mark and Maria, the owners of Treelodge didn't do less then adopting me during my staying on Kosrae. This short goes out with a never-ending trail of huge thanks to them and all of the island folks. Honestly some of the best people I ever met live there.
This may be a home tribute for you or not less than a virtual adventure to the other side of the world. In both cases you'll have to admire the visual transcription of a culture, the message coming throught this dialogueless short is as wide as Kangaroo's hips in comparison to its shoulsers.
This young man from Canada was following his motheron a buisness trip across the morst remotes pacific islands, staying on each one for just a few days before having to move on. You can be surrounded by some of Mother Nature's finest work and still be very bored if you don't know how to appreciate it. That was his case, until he bumbed into a crew of local surfers, living on the island soleley for the generosity that Mother Nature had shown towards it. He learnt form that encouter how a simple but genuine experience such as hiking bearhanded a 100ft tall waterfall, brings to you a greater appreciation for life itself. He was also lucky enough that we were there to document it.
An innovative approch to surf videos. Behind the Seen takes you behind the scenes of the waterman's lifestyle in many ways. Sit back, relax, open your mind as much as your eyes, and flow with it!
