June Gloom

Things have been a bit quiet here at Leashless.tv but I’m hoping to start filming again soon.  Took a much needed break from finishing up Worm, and also shooting and directing two short commercials for Pizza My Heart which both star Wingnut.

Went out for a surf today with Worm at Churches and the sun made a brief but very welcome appearance.  June gloom has been hitting So Cal with a vengeance!  Can’t wait for actual summer, which is generally delayed here in San Diego.

Water Housing

Got a new water housing for my Canon T3i.  The first two sessions I took it out it was cloudy and difficult to shoot.  Finally got a decent session today.  Still figuring out the best ways to shoot from the water, although I like using the 35mm lens (it’s a crop sensor so closer to 50mm in reality).

It was harder to line up for the shortboard shots. Here’s Sara Taylor about to hit the lip. I was too close though and had to dive before she made the hit.

Women Of The Seven Seas Surf Film Festival

A little late here, but I wanted to update that Summer Salad played at the Women Of The Seven Seas Surf Film Festival in Rockaway, New York.  Unfortunately I wasn’t able to attend, but I did last year and it was an amazingly fun event.  Special thanks to Davina Grincevicius for reaching out to me.

Here’s an interview she did with me for the festival:

Winter Swell

Got to shoot with Erin Ashley, aka Worm, yesterday.  She was absolutely killing it!

FYI – these are screen grabs from video that will be coming soon.

Heading to Tofino, Canada with Jenna, Sara, Nicole, and Olivia.  Gonna be a blast!  Here’s some stuff I am bringing.  Good thing I still have my hood and gloves from when I did the winter surfing thing back in New York!

Amy and Monica were hanging out in Leucadia this weekend with me.  Skating and surfing ensued…
