The slight turn of the head, the blink of an eye.
Subtle glimpses of magic other folk might pass by."
I'm often asked how surfing feels. I step back. I think. I think, and I'm not sure, so I say things like this: Amazing. Surreal. Magical. I say it's a release, and that it fuels my being. I do it to feel free. I surf because nothing compares. Effortlessly gliding across the ocean– smooth, speed, calm. Surfing defies what your mind thinks is possible. I say all that, but I can't convey what I feel.
Darker Side of the Lens does just that– it describes something I've been feeling for years. I show this film to both surfers and non to describe what I feel. Surfers tend to get chills down their spine, and those who don't surf– well– now they finally get it.
