April 4, 2019
HAPPY EASTER!! I’ve had this concept in my mind for a while now – we could put one of my favourite products in my hand, couple it with some great surf, and try to get an awesome tube shot. Well, somewhat unexpectedly, the other morning I rocked up to one of my favourite beaches and

Let’s be completely honest with each other, we’ve all been there, eating “one piece of chocolate” on the couch whilst watching
Read moreWhy Surfer’s Brains Are Happier Than Others
February 19, 2019
It’s a bit of a generalisation, sure, but surfers seem to be happier than everybody else. If you think about the stereotype of a surfer, it’s that fun, excited, playful guy or gal running down the beach with a big smile on his or her face. That’s not to say that other people aren’t happy,

February 11, 2019
It’s easy to get caught up in the whole ‘more more more’ thing right? I would know, trust me! More readers, more views, more ticket sales, more waves, go bigger and better all the time every single day! But this type of mindset doesn’t always lead to somewhere great… and certainly doesn’t lead anywhere healthy.

November 13, 2018
Here’s what it’s like to work from home as an independent filmmaker. It’s often not as glorious as it sounds. Sometimes, although not often, an exciting development occurs. A new email about a film I’m working on, a book or a cool speaking gig. “I think people presume that I spend all day surfing at

Last week the DAA officially announced it is cutting ties with its corporate sponsors such as big food companies Nestle and Campbells Arnotts.

September 25, 2018
I feel like all the movies we’ve watched over the years projecting this insanely controlled future filled with brain chips and trackers and an overarching government have kind of been… just movies right? But as we continue down this trajectory that we’re currently on, politically, socially, economically, I can’t help but think that Hollywood writers

September 19, 2018
My name is Kale, like the vegetable. Kale Brock. I know that sounds kinda strange. Because it’s almost like Kale Broccoli, and that’s a very cruciferous name to have, but it’s the one my parents gave me when I was born. In fact, after looking at how my career turned out, having a unique and
