Classic Timing is Everything, The Women and the Waves
The Gods Must Be Watching
Now wouldn't you know it, two and a half months of madness -- the flat spell that never ends -- is coming to an end, just in time for the 2009 Rincon Classic. Surf-starved locals and contestants alike will be competing for well, let's not even speculate, don't want to jinx anything, but hey the Gulf of Alaska is going Chernobyl right now, and the timing couldn't be better.
If you are a competitor and would like to secure some sick shots for your wall, just shoot me an email together with division and heat information as well as other identifiers (e.g., wetsuit and board descriptors), and I will try to be sure to capture your surfing. RinconSurfBlog@gmail.com
The Women and the Waves Official Press Release
Rincon locals Heather Hudson and Peck Euwer have teamed up to to produce a film that documents the surfing experience from a novel and unique perspective. "The Women and the Waves is an independent documentary surf film that explores the lives of female surfers who, through the decades, have chosen to paddle head first into the male dominated sport of surfing and found a place of their own. Surfer girls, women who surf, women who don't, female athletes, and the men who love them gain insight into what it's like to "Surf like a Girl!" This inspiring film, featuring generations of women surfers, reveals what has transcended surfing's status as a sport to become a passion so strong, it is the dominant force in their lives."
"The Women and the Waves" premieres at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in January, 2009.
