This might just be the first surf clip I've watched where the surfing subject also wrote the poetry.

Actually, it might just be the first surf clip with poetry.

It's a tad light on action but heavy on evocation.

A bit more of a fluid surfer and more profound statements and I could be transported into a deep meditation.

I don’t mind poetry.

Good poetry.

I’ll even endure garbage poetry if it’s well intentioned.

Using garbage poetry to sell me shit ? .......No thanks. But the visuals of the film were interesting and it was free .

She surfs well.

Just got around to watching this...great effort to put something out there which is so different from the usual. Anyone who's ever written anything or created something knows of the fear of how their inner thoughts will be received. To put poetry out there on a film medium with a surfing theme is totally courageous.
Good onya Easkey.

The area and the waves looked beautiful, I love surfing in stormy rainy weather...

Great images, it doesn't have to all about surfing, but it ties in well. Creativity, is an art in itself, i found it helped my imagination run. a nice 5 minutes.

You really have to be born in those countries to want to surf in those conditions. It is probably close to or not far above zero air temp and water must be around 8 or 9 maybe. This happens for months with no real summer so I really give her A+ for dedication.
