I've pushed through waves like that before. But this time the focus of the pressure came squarely down in the center of me and the board. I'm sure it was a one-in-a-million chance. Lucky me.

I will re-watch this movie with all this in mind and see if I have a better reaction to it. Marc, I totally appreciate your comment and dig that you took the time to write out such a great response.

Stylemasters is a history of N.Shore surfing in the 70s', as well as, the act of filming surfers. It documents a transition (Lopez - Curren)... and uses the footage shot by two men over a ten year period of time. What one might call "the good, bad and ugly" of surfing footage you alluded to with remarks of "sweet stylings of Jerry Lopez" to "bland and uninspired surfing" on "70s' boards that were designed only to hold the line"... is essential to understanding what this transitional era looked like(man, board and filmer alike) over that ten year period of time. And, since when does dropping in on a N.Shore bomb get boring? The sound track alone should keep any sleepy ears alert. Anyways, I believe this film or the footage within it was an underground thing for years and shown only to the individuals in it and in their own homes... that alone is cool... Think about it... they used the footage that the surfers themselves looked at and liked; kinda like judge and jury... Can't imagine telling any of those guys that what they did back then wasn't cool, their boards sucked or their footage was boring... hey, it's all that they had and they made good with it! It's Kinda like telling Evil Kenevil his jumps over all those cars, busses and Grand Canyon were boring and sucked because the new breed has better bikes and more skill.... Really?

Could you please post a follow up on this board? I love Michel's work, but have never had the chance to ride one of his pumpkin seeds. Could you let us know what type of break(s) you have ridden it in and how it performed? Thanks, Darren Hey-O!
