In September of last year I bought the movie Believe and was so stoked on the film I emailed Mick Waters, the Australian filmmaker, to congratulate him on a job well done. Mick, who wrote back stoked as ever to connect with his audience, has over the months become a friend. He has also become a daily follower of the site, and even submitted some Fin Art that he and his two kids made.
The other day I got an email from Mick and to my surprise received these photos. They are of course of Andrew Kidman, Neil Purchase Jr. and Mick. Seriously, these guys are 3 out of my 4 all time favorite Australian surfers/artists. (All I needed was a shot of Rasta to complete the set.) You can imagine how stoked I was to get these. I'm not sure where these are taken other then AU but maybe Mick can comment and let us know.
Over the coming months I will be featuring more of Mick's work. He and his crew in AU have been producing some amazing work that continues to inspire me. He has a new film coming out that I will do a post on called "Little Black Wheels". It is of a surf trip he took around AU with his pregnant wife, 2 year old daughter and dog in a little white van. The trailer is great and there are a few segments already floating around YouTube that will make your mouth water.
When Mick's new movie comes out he is currently planning a trip to the US to show it off. Cross your fingers, he is a true independent filmmaker so he has to fund this whole project himself. He will stay here in Leucadia when he comes and we will help him do a La Paloma premier. There is even talk about filming his journey and making a movie out of it.
Anyway everyone meet Mick. Mick meet everyone. We are looking forward to your trip here so you can get to know everyone in person. In the meantime keep sending us shots!
