Gateway to winter surf is shaping up
by George Mojo
02/10/2007:// The North Shore Festival, the gateway to this winter's big wave surf season, is shaping up to be a unique blend of live entertainment, Hawaiian culture, feature movies, and a full slate of fun for locals families and visitors to Hawaii.
The North Shore Festival will be staged at Haleiwa Beach Park, on Oahu's North Shore.
Movies under the stars will be a feature of this year's North Shore Festival, with a variety of surf themes sure to appeal to everyone.
The North Shore Festival's family feature presentation will be Surf's Up, the summer's biggest wave from Sony Pictures Animation featuring the Voice Talents of Shia LaBeouf, Jeff Bridges, Zooey Deschanel and Jon Heder.
Tomorrow Today is Transworld SURF magazine's first film.
With some of the most radical surfing ever captured on film, Tomorrow Today fuses animated dream sequences into reality, where each surfer performs his repertoire of unbelievable tricks.
Featuring the actions, words, and thoughts of five of the most progressive and relevant surfers in the world: Dane Reynolds, Bobby Martinez, Mike Losness, Yadin Nichol, and Clay Marzo--Tomorrow/Today will help bridge the gap between the present and the future.
Taking a trip down retro lane, Stylemasters 2 revisits the North Shore winter of 1980/81, when Dane Kealoha, Shaun Tomson, Bobby Owens, Mark Richards and many of surfing's true greats ruled supreme on the "twin fin".
Classic man-on-the-beach interviews combined with spectacular scenes and surf cinematography make this an enjoyable trip down memory lane for those who remember, and a history lesson in pro surfing for those who don't.
Live music will also take center-stage, with a special performance from Timmy Curran.
Curran is a professional surfer who recently released his first full length album called "Word of Mouth."
He has also toured with the Foo Fighters and has developed his own large local following.
Beyond movies and music, guests to this year's festival will be able to sample the best of local food and merchant vendors, as well as a variety of activities.
The North Shore Festival, at historic Haleiwa Town, will signal the start of the world's most prestigious and longest running series of professional big-wave surfing events: the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing. Celebrating its 25th anniversary this winter, the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing officially gets underway November 12, with the Reef Hawaiian Pro at Haleiwa Ali'i Beach Park, running through December 20 with three world class events for both men and women that culminate in the crowning of the 2007 ASP World Champions.
