Western Skyline surfing road trip video
February 13th, 2012Western Skyline is a short film about life on a the road as a surfer.
My friend Ben got married in Vegas last year (2011). Before the wedding Ben, Luke and I took a three week road trip down the Californian coast in a 25ft RV.
Six months later, it’s winter here in the UK. As I work through the footage I look out the window at the thawing snow and I remember all the fun times we had. You can’t beat the simplicity and thrill of life on the road and sharing those moments of total freedom with good friends.
Enjoy!
