I'm actually in a better mood and there are moments when I laughed out loud. (The part about how to dress to go on a hobo staycation was classic.) In full disclosure I have been a part of helping get the word out online so I am not really impartial. I am biased to a degree. But with that said it was actually better than I was expecting it to be. Since I had never seen it I thought it was going to be a basic documentary about their trip but I was really surprised by the social commentary of it all. It really left me thinking about the lives of the people in the film and left me with questions about my own beliefs and priorities. Good job Cyrus.
Here are some stills...
Part of the fun in this film is how they do the trip. The rigs they built are pretty impressive and there is some practical knowledge on how to pull off a trip like this.
One lesson taught, look for families from Colorado in campgrounds. They are nice and will hook you up with food.
Lot's of classic San Diego surfing. Made me so hungry for surfing.
Cyrus, his bluetooth head gear and his tips on getting dressed for the trip if you look indigenous. This part made me laugh out-loud.
A favorite scene was Cyrus and Ryan at Blacks. Cyrus takes out an old beat up single fin and kills it.
Richard rips.
Cyrus and his handplane footage was cool. This movie was like when Sprout and Glass Love came out with segments on Fish boards and you finally got to see some footage of something that was more of an underground thing.
Glen Horn and his wife are pretty amazing. They are inspiring. Saving up enough money to head off into Baja to spend their time surfing, camping and living life as they wish.
