Newport Beach Film Festival 2009

In the winter of '96/'97, while everyone was riding 6'1” thrusters featuring Slater's elf shoe rocker and long before the "retro fish" craze, two kids attacked the North Shore and beyond on 5'5" twin fins. A collection of 12 years of surf footage from the best surfers in the world on boards under five and a half feet, the film features Chris Ward, Aaron Cormican and Mason Ho pushing their short boards to their limits, with sections from Dane Reynolds, Jordy Smith, Kolohe Andino, Luke Davis, Ryan Carlson and Mr. Sl9ter. Check out Cory Lopez and Ian Walsh on the wave Surfer Magazine called "the holy grail" of surf scores.
