The ever-satirical hipster runoff said that sometimes the after-party recap is bigger than the party itself. While the party wasn’t huge, it sure was a beautiful crowd and superf*cking fun!
And now I’m not sure if the “b” in “b90x” stands for Bacardi, blackout, butts, beachballs, boobs, burnt, boners or all of the above.

An enthusiastic crowd showed up for the premiere of “Cancer to Capricorn: The Path of the Modern Gypsy” the new surf film from REEF. Blue Hawaii’s lit-up outdoor parking lot, the kegs, the potluck and the energetic pack gave the premiere more of a backyard party vibe than a stuffy film viewing.

Some of the highlights of the film included heaving P-Pass in the South Pacific, endless sand bottom Mexican tubes and Tonino Benson throwing his fins out all over the world. It was great seeing Ross Williams clips; he’s still got the same buttery flow and still throws more spray than anybody.

You can download or watch the film HERE. With music from The XX, Miike Snow, Xavier Rudd, Yeasayer, Blonde Redhead, The Almighty Defenders and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.

This Saturday, June 12th, REEF premieres their new feature film “Cancer to Capricorn” in the open air parking lot of 84Skate (Blue Hawaii Kalihi). Using amazing cinematography and high packed action from Pipeline Drifter Rob Machado, Two-time World Champ Mick Fanning and Haleiwa’s own Sean Moody, among others. Tons of free giveaways (and other freebies like things you can drink and eat), come through and hang out in a parking lot in Kalihi (sounds risky). Look for a feature on cinematographer Russell Brownley in our next issue.

Stunning…

This may be old news to you, but I recently found out that a cotton shirt provides you an SPF of 5. Yes, just 5. I’m a pretty mellow guy, but one thing I’m OCD about is protecting myself from the sun. For years I would surf in a t-shirt and lather on high SPF sunscreen on exposed areas, thinking I was protecting myself. But I wasn’t! And a wet shirt is even lower, like SPF 2! Might as well have not worn anything! So I found this product SunGuard that you can wash your shirts in the washing machine with. After a wash, your shirt is now SPF 30. And is good for up to 20 washes (or surfs). Hopefully it doesn’t scotchguard my shirts into some stiff form of chainmail.

It’s only $1.99 for one load. Cheaper than sunscreen.
