- Thank you to the sponsors that made this possible.
I hope the you enjoy my interpretation of how I'm still able to interact with surfing.
I struggled the first time I saw the beach after my accident. I was at Manny's Pizzeria in nsb for a family dinner. I excused myself and went across A1A by myself to say hello to the beach I grew up playing on. I remember seeing young children playing in the shore break and just sobbing. I knew in that moment I was never going to feel that again and it broke me.
I spent a long time avoiding the beach after that, but after finding photography, it was the closest I felt to being back in the lineup again. I strongly encourage you to find your creative passion and use it to express yourself in a way only you know how.
Here's what I said on the evening of the film's premiere at Red Dog Surf Shop here in New Smyrna Beach, FL...
"There are a few individuals here that helped me create my first film back in 2018 and here we are five years later. I want to thank Hollie and everyone at red dog for putting this event together. Thanks to all of you for being here on your Saturday night.
On the surface, this may seem like the piece lacks narrative and to some degree that is true. However, I think so often we perceive every day life as “the grind“ when really all of those little moments, we experience every day, add up to create our narrative. We are lucky enough that our narrative at this given time has us living in an incredible town with some pretty consistent waves and some really talented individuals. I wanted to create something that captured the beauty of this town in this given moment, so, in the future, we can look back and cherish the good old days.
Thank you all for being here tonight, thank you for supporting your local surf shop & your local surfers, and my interpretation of all of it."
Enjoy
What a treat, from the music to the warm summery grovelly bliss. A rare feel good edit.
So beautiful video and song 🎵
Dude this is sick. Heavy thoughts in the description too. Hang in there man! You showcase NSB's beauty more than any other channel or creator I've seen
Mother Ocean will always bring you back in and heal us. Cheers hombre keep the sunshine flowing thru ur eyeballs and stay grounded to her pulse yewwww
Couldn't be showcased more beautiful, thank you!
So incredibly good
keep killing it sam soo good!
Used to hit this beach as a kid. I’m terrible at surfing, but this hit a nostalgic nerve I wasn’t expecting. Incredible video, excited to follow your work
Thanks a ton! Im glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the follow and I'm stoked to bring ya more!
This is amazing - it captures the feeling of Florida summer better than anything I’ve ever seen. Grew up surfing in Florida in the late 90’s and 2000’s. This brought back so many beautiful memories. Takes true talent to create something that does that.
I could practically taste the salt air and feel the mist. Beautiful!
Inspirational Sam, thank you for your story. I love how you capture the surfing, the nature, and your Drone shots really are amazing
💙🌊
Great video!
Thanks for your films and content. Inspiring message in the description. I moved to NSB a few months ago from Los Angeles. Couldn't be happier with the people and the waves.
I hope to see you at the inlet and say hello next time. Thanks for the great videos, Sam
Great video, amazing production! I was skeptical about surfing in Florida and now I have changed my mind totally !
Amazing portrayal of NSB Summer vibes. Filming/editing super clean. This is one of my fav surf short films now right up there with Dane Reynolds short films from back in the day. Just as captivating. Great job!
Awesome video!!!
Love you’re work man you’re an inspiration
Keep up the good work
Never cease to impress!! 😍❤
Fire video. Great job shooting and editing. 🤙🤙🤙
That was best yet dude. Every project you do gets better and better. Your going to go places with this sam guy!
Awesome 😎 Great editing and music 🎶 selection definitely feels like home 🤗🤙🏼
Impressive job Sam. To be honest I thought this would be rubbish but it’s odd how similar Florida is to Queenslands sunshine Coast minus the famous points and mysto reefs. Great watch good music. It rains a lot here too. Top shelf surfing too.
Hell yeah Jimmy, thanks man. Yeah, no points or reefs but LOTS of beach & froth. I appreciate the tip of the hat on the music, I find I have a very specific taste in songs and can be hyper critical. Cheers
Your content is unreal, keep the hits coming!
Thank you!
Awesome work Sam!
Keep it up dude.. Stoked to be apart of the local film!
Great video glad I live here or I would be very home sick 🤙
You and me both!
digging the vibe. Solid as hell filming and editing. Makes me long to be in the water...
Nice job Sam 👏🤙🏽🙌🙏🏼♥️
I grew up just a little north of NSB in Ormond Beach. We spent many a day surfing Ponce/NSB. I moved to Costa Rica over 20 years ago, but if I ever moved back I would live in NSB. It is such a cool little beach town with the most consistent waves on the east coast. Nice video bro.
I appreciate the kind vibes, it's changed but the waves havent!
So sick!
awesome edit! Great work
Damn dude you make badass videos!
I appreciate it!
