Adrian Buchan's film gives us a glimpse into pro surfing
by Howard Swanwick
01/08/2006:// To announce the arrival of the first truly global generation of world-class professional surfers… and to remind that style is timeless
The brainchild of young Australian surfing sensation Adrian Buchan, the PREVIEW is quite literally a glimpse into the future of top-level international professional surfing.
“This was something that I’ve been thinking about for ages. Shaun (Cansdell), Glen (Hall) and I had always talked about doing our own film, and it just kind of came together and developed into a more international project when we went on the first trip to film in Brazil with Lippy (Marlon Lipke), Tim and Bots (Jay Thompson)”.
Surfers:
Adrian Buchan (Australia) Shaun Cansdell (Australia) Jay Thompson (Australia) Glen Hall (Australia) Ian Walsh (Hawaii) Royden Bryson (South Africa) Tim Boal (France / Ireland) Marlon Lipke (Germany / Portugal) Gony Zubizaretta (Spain) Adriano De Souza (Brazil) Tom Curren (USA)
A unique combination of freesurfing in all conditions, and competitive ripping at the highest level… 10 of the worlds best young surfers and their hero: Tom Curren. When asked why Tom was a part of a project designed to introduce new faces, Adrian commented, “Tom is all of our favorite surfer and we wanted to have the chance to see Toms timeless style first hand… It was amazing having him involved in our project, and we all learnt so much just hanging out with him!”
The film is broken down into trips, surfer sections (“parts”) and key contests.
Locations include:
Brazil Maldives Indonesia Australia Bali Europe South Africa Tahiti Hawaii
Produced by Friday, the PREVIEW has been in production for over a year. Director Greg Martin remarked, “when Adrian asked us to work with him on his film is was a real honor… We have never worked with a group of such nice guys, and they were all a real pleasure to travel with… It’s easy to make a film with unbelievable talent in front of the camera! They were always motivated to shoot, and they have all wanted to have an input in every stage of the journey”.
the PREVIEW will be available world-wide in leading surf shops very soon...
