When the day presents you with lemons, you make lemonade. That’s exactly what happened today. I left the house early in the morning, heading to Daytona for the NCFL ESA contest #3. Surf conditions were out of control, with SSE winds gusting to over 30mph and sporadic rain showers, it just wasn’t inviting at all. [...]
ESA South East Regional Championships were held this past weekend in the rippable waves of New Smyrna Inlet. Sunday’s events presented the champions of each division as the finals got under way around 9am. Surfers and spectators were greeted to waist to chest high, wedgie peaks. Contestants made the most of the conditions and gave [...]
The first contest of the North Central Florida District ESA went on yesterday in Ormond Beach in fun, super clean waves. The first heat hit the water between 8:30 and 9:00. With high tide a little after 11, the incoming push made the waves seem to pick up a bit through the morning. The surf [...]
We took a family day and ventured down to Kissimmee to check out The Showcase of Citrus in Kissimmee, FL. This is a pretty cool place. You can shop for citrus fruits in their little market and fill a 10lb bag for about $12, or you can be more adventurous (and less lazy) and pick [...]
The seven competitors at the 3rd Annual Red Bull Night Riders braved some unsightly conditions tonight at Flagler Pier, but gave us a great show none the less. With air temps in the low 60s and gusting northerly winds to 30mph, the surfers took to the water at 8pm. The conditions tested the competitors, with [...]
Well, after extensive searching, and I mean extensive, I have to deduct that this is by far the best video representation of what Sandy delivered to Florida last weekend. Watch as local pros Evan Geiselman, Taylor Brothers, Shea Lopez, Cory Lopez, Oliver Kurtz, and Pete Mendia along with Californian Chris Ward take on Sandy’s swell [...]
If you haven’t seen Chasing Mavericks yet, go see it! But until you do, or if you have seen it, enjoy this behind the scenes on what went into the sound production of the film. Shooting in and around the ocean is a challenge for any filmmaker. Unwanted sound can ruin any shot. And even [...]
Hurricane Sandy brought some huge swells to the coast of Florida this weekend. Dasher Films captured some of the action on Saturday. The Pumphouse is the place to go for big swells. Jetskis were doing there job getting the surfers into the waves and keeping them out of harm’s way. With sets reaching double overhead and [...]
Well, it’s been a while. Here are some stills from the shoot I did at Typhoon Lagoon earlier this month. I would have had them up sooner but ran into some computer issues. I should hopefully have a short video up soon. If you need any shooting or editing done, don’t hesitate to contact me. [...]
