Thomas Campbell and Dan Malloy recount some of their experiences from the filming of the movie Sprout. Thomas opens with some observations on the state of American culture and the fragmented nature of our lives. After the logistical hardships one might expect when taking seventeen surfboards most of the way around the world, the whole crew arrives in Ceylon to spend twenty uncomplicated days surfing and adjusting to rhythms of the local culture. From Ceylon, Thomas and Dan head to Paris where they meet up with professional skateboarders Ed Templeton and Rick McCrank who are setting up an art show. After a few days Dan and Thomas are motivated to escape the city and find waves. After a quick flight to Morocco, they are right back to visiting a culture vastly different than their own, enjoying the waves that the country has to offer.

Author Greg Tindall on Pete Mendia: “Despite having a full array of maneuvers, Pete Mendia's signature move as a time-tested photo-pro has become the cutback, the first move he learned to do at Lake Worth pier as a kid. He had this yellow MTB twin-fin that he finally figured out how to grab one rail then set the other one to reverse their direction. The cutback, that's it… can't be eponymously renamed. It's such a standard move it's almost taken for granted. Of course, it’s not any old cutty when the “big kid” lays into it. It's everything Pete has laid out on a rail, over twenty years of professional surfing honed in on a moment… a maneuver that splays the grain of the wave wide open, a stained-glass window pane of ocean.”

Essential TSJ reading if ever there was an article. Over 40+ pages, Mike Perry has dutifully told Coop's story. The article probes deep into the history of surf culture, as well as the depths of Bob's psyche. One of the amazing assets that Bob made available to the Journal was his cartons of slides, prints and clippings that chronicled much of the history of surfing in California and Australia from the late- '50s into the '70s. Bob graced the lot with his recollections, of which at least a good chuck gets to see the light of day.
