Original Inspiration


Where I grew up there was nobody riding logs properly, or even riding proper logs. While visiting La Jolla I stopped by Mitch's to check out some boards. I saw Longer on the counter and picked up a copy, not really knowing what it was. This movie singlehandedly changed my perspective on surfing. Joel's effortless flow in waves of all size is what I feel surfing should look like. I never saw such style laid down on small waves. This section paired with the rendition of Misty was quite an inspiration then, and still is today...enjoy
