Going With The Flow:
Classic California Soul Surfing
This film is the first in the
Going With The Flow series!
January 2005 took us into one of the world's best surfing locations, Southern California!
We visited some of the classic spots such as Rincon,
San Onofre, Cardiff, and Swamis.
People from all walks of life in today's Southern California
live with surfing as an integral part of their lives.
The film will show how people from all walks of life
adjust, transform and balance their lives with surfing.
We'll hear how surfing has changed throughout the years
and what it is today and may be in the future. We'll
also experience the magic which happens when one is
ready for the future but yet let's it naturally unfold.
We spent time with some legendary California surfers, such
as Linda Benson, Lance Carson, Henry Ford, LJ
Richards, and Hank Warner,
as well as Jesse Timm, Kevin Connelly, Cory
Weber (son of surfing industry pioneer Dewey Weber),
the future of surfing and Weber Team Rider, Anneke
Barrie, as well as San Diego's Chad
Dawson and Florida's own Mike Trzinski,
who carry on and add to the classic California surfing
soul. Everyone will share with us their stories and
add to the history of surfing.
Our shooting took us through Southern California. Jesse
Timm and Kevin Connelly showed
us how classic soul surfing is quickly reemerging as
not only an aesthetic but the root of properly sliding
on a wave.
Surfing's modern roots and evolution has always come from Southern
California. Generations of surfers have grown up on
it's shores and in turn have showed this way of life
to the rest of the world. From surfing's roots it has
always meant more than simply riding waves, but most
importantly flowing with the nature of things and sharing
fun times with good people.
About fifty years have passed since the golden age of surfing.
The evolution of it has brought advances in technology,
performance, style, fashion and let's face it the world
is a different place because of surfing. Many things
have changed since the early days, but the one thing
which has always stayed the same and it's the stoke
that is shared by the people who surf.
Our film will add to the soul of surfing while keeping the
stoke perpetually burning and share what it means to
go with the flow and let the magic of life unfold in

"A
pilgrimage west digs the roots of California surfing
and taps it's source. Jesse Timm and Kevin Connelly
showcase a contemporary flare, hot on heels and high
kicks - hats off forever tipped reverent to longboard
surfing staples; style, trim and positioning. Interview
excerpts spin a good yarn and attest to surfing legend
and heritage."
Jimy Newit, Pacific Longboarder Magazine
Surf Film Reviewer
"'Going
With The Flow: Classic California Soul Surfing'
mixes a melting pot of different topics - interviews
touch on technique, boardshaping, localism, ocean
knowledge and surf evolution.
With
interviews and surf footage, the film provides a smooth
ride for surfers young and old."
Kehau Cerizo, Today's Local News
"It’s
a surf movie and aims to be a perfect ride: harmonious
and tranquil; the basis for a legend but also a tribute
to the old gods; long enough to satisfy, but short
enough to taste transience; and a way to appreciate
both oneness and rebellion in a single instant."
J.R. Wick, Film Critic
