StRaNGe Beautiful LIFE - Episode 5: Mad dogs and Englishmen

Mon, 02 Apr 2012 14:23:03 +0100

Injury's suck theres no way of glossing over it making it sound better than it is, but you try to, you kid yourself you even start to believe it ''oh its ok it wont take too long'' you tell yourself over and over again. You start to fill your days with other stuff and you get on with it. But when your constantly striving for some kind of optimum wave riding experience to put a grin on your dial and it controls your every thought day in day out and then WHAM its gone, injury's really do suck. Its inevitable I guess at some point your gonna kook it and things are gonna go pair shaped real quick, one minute you think your gods gift to surfing and then the next minute WA PA your rolling around in the white water wondering if your leg is still attached. This episode of StRaNGe Beautiful Life was filmed in two parts the first part was filmed just before I tried to be all Bruce ''look no hands'' Irons and got a lip to the head immediately confirming that I'm no Bruce Irons and yes I do feel pain especially when tearing the Medial Collateral Ligament and Meniscus in my nobly knee. Fast forward four tediously long couch ridden months where I got to know a rehabilitation elastic band really well and I'm back good as new, well I'm notably chubbier and pretty dam clumsy on a surfboard but I cant help thinking that time out of the water has given me perspective and a certain outlook that I'm sure was there before but I feel different, its just when you cant do something you love for ages when you finally get to do it again you fall in love with it all over again. If I've taken anything positive from this injury its that we should all take a step backwards sometimes to appreciate things even more. Hope you enjoy this episode and its gets your froth on to go surfing. cheers Stoker facebook.com/StRAnGeBeautifulLIFE.TV Music by The Cave Singers itunes.apple.com/gb/album/beach-house/id323921115 James Vincent Mcmorrow itunes.apple.com/gb/album/early-in-the-morning/id414672395

StRaNGe Beautiful LIFE - Episode 4: Je m' appelle ALAN

Tue, 29 Nov 2011 17:52:39 +0000

I've been travelling around this globe we call home for the best part of my life now, spending summers in Europe and winters where ever the waves have led me. I have had the opportunity to immerse myself in different cultures and ways of life all around the world. Thats the beautiful thing about travel it opens your eyes to the possibilities and teaches you things about the simplest necessities of life, when you leave the confides and sanctuary of home your perception of things shifts you become vulnerable and lost to the new. Im so used to this experience now that after a few weeks at home I find myself craving it all over again. France is one of these places I have been lucky enough to visit travelling there for the European summer for as long as I can remember. Sunshine, endless sand banks, powerful waves, beautiful woman, red wine and cakes to die for are just a few of the reasons why the south west of France ticks all the boxes for us surfers. We had a real mix of conditions for this episode, one day it was glassy and 42 degrees and the next its pouring down with rain and howling onshore, filming these little shorts is great fun and you really appreciate the things around you, looking at everything as if it were a picture perfect ideal. After two weeks the weather and waves had tested us and by watching the video you can see we really started to loose the plot but we had a great time indulging in the French way of life and they really know how to live it well. So here's to France. http://facebook.com/strangebeautifullife.tv Music by- Miami Horror itunes.apple.com/gb/album/bravado/id295431998 Shake Aletti itunes.apple.com/gb/album/dancefloor/id398703097 Parov Stelar itunes.apple.com/gb/album/coco-pt.-2/id324690487 Filmed and edited by Tim Davies Animation by Anton Hawkins antonhawkins.co.uk
