DOLPHIN GLIDE George Greenough

Dolphin Glide is the latest project from legendary surfer George Greenough. Dolphin Glide is a surf film like no other. It’s surfing but from the perspective of a dolphin, you are in the water behind the wave, seeing it boil and flow past you to the beat of a killer sound track. The film was done entirely in 35 mm and shot near Byron Bay Australia. inspired by http://flexspoon.com

PHOTO COURTESY OF ANN AND RICK CHATILLON
The mid-1950s though the 1960s was an epic era in Newport Beach, California for surfboard riding. Living It Forever chronicles the carefree days of those early surfers who lived the dream. The viewers meet Newport’s pioneer surf personalities who, fifty years ago, shared a passion for the sport and the lifestyle despite being ridiculed by society. A look is taken at their culture and the implications it had on what emerged as a multi-billion-dollar industry.

The film begins with a historic overview of the origins of Newport Beach. Subjects touched on include: the surfboard revolution, fashion, High School, Balweek, and the camaraderie. Archival footage features the surfers as teenagers. The same surfers, in modern day interviews, reflect on their extraordinary experience.

Isabel Letham

In 1915 the Los Angeles Record described Isabel Letham as 'a Sydney Sea Gull' and the world's greatest stunt swimmer who 'became proficient at aqua-planing while dodging sharks in Sydney harbor'. Isabel Letham achieved this international profile after being chosen by Duke Kahanamoku from the crowd watching him at Manly Beach, trying the new Hawaiian-style board surfing.

Beautiful and feisty, a career in Hollywood beckoned and Isabel’s father supported her unsuccessful attempts to get into the movies. She moved to San Francisco and in 1923 friends persuaded the University of California at Berkley to appoint her as their assistant swimming teacher. Her reputation for innovative scientific methods and success with social and competitive swimmers led to her appointment as Director of Swimming for the City of San Francisco. She started a club system as used in Australia and, in 1926, organised the first women’s swimming competition, in San Francisco, an invitational event attended by local and national champions. The press at the time said that she was 'instrumental in starting several of the present day champs on their careers'.
Isabel was also keen to teach Australian lifesaving methods in California, but her application to join Manly surf lifesaving club was refused, prompting the local headline: 'Sex ban on girl life-saver, so Australia loses advertisement'. The San Francisco Daily News reported that 'Although she has saved many lives she is not eligible for membership in a surf live-saving club on account of her sex. In refusing Miss Letham the privileges of membership … the Manly Surf Club … is losing an excellent opportunity of broadcasting Australian life-saving methods'.
Isabel Letham returned permanently to Sydney in 1929 and taught many people on the northern beaches to swim. She influenced even more with her articles in the Manly Daily and through the Freshwater Water Ballet School, which she founded in the 1940s to bring American techniques in synchronized swimming to Australia.

When she died in 1995, Isabel Letham’s request that her ashes be scattered beyond the surf-break was honoured by friends gathered on their surf boards to remember her sporting prowess, her management skill and her international influence. via http://www.womenshistory.com.au photos various sources

The Road Less Travelled

A Road Less Travelled…
If I could really write you would be able to feel the slight chill of the dawn offshore and see the fluttering crest of the opposing swell as their rival paths collide. You would know it was the north coast of NSW as you could see the barren points extend from sweeping fields and thick bushland, tapering those swells into the ruler lines that we oh so adore. If I could really write, you would see a man. A werewolf of a man, riding tall and proud, riding fast and sleek, riding low and deep, swerving at will. Whatever the wave asks, this man responds accordingly. We got to jam on Chris Del Moro's rhythm for the weekend up in Byron and it was one sweet groove.

EMITT RHODES: Simply an American Musician?

Emitt Lynn Rhodes is an American singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and recording engineer born February 25, 1950 in Decatur, Illinois. When he was five his family moved to Hawthorne, California. Considered by many as "the one man Beatles," his solo recordings of the early 1970s show a clear Paul McCartney influence in both vocals and musicianship. Rhodes began his career in musical ensembles The Palace Guard (as the group's drummer) and The Merry-Go-Round (multi-instrumentalist), leaving the drums to the expertise of Joel Larson.

Planet Earth's Northern Hemisphere

A timelapse of Planet Earth from Electro-L, a geostationary satellite orbiting 40000km above the Earth. The satellite creates a 121 megapixel image every 30 minutes with four visible and infrared light wavelengths. The infrared light appears orange in these images, and shows vegetation. The images were obtained beginning on May 14th, 2011 and end on May 20th. The images are the largest whole disk images of our planet, the resolution is 1 kilometer per pixel. The images are "masked" by a circular barrier that blocks out the light of the Sun and other stars. This is to prevent damage to the camera by exposure to direct sunlight. The images have been interpolated (blended) to create a smooth animation.(Images Copyright NTs OMZ. Videos Copyright James Drake)

Today is a great day to go surfing.

Just after midnight on Saturday morning May 12 our friend and mentor Terry Martin left his shell on earth and blasted into heaven. Terry passed peacefully in the wee hours of the morning, a time he often rose and headed to his shaping room to pursue his craft, he is now in his eternal home with his Lord. There will be a memorial service for Terry on Friday, May 18th at 6:30 PM at Capo Beach Calvary in Capistrano Beach, please join us to say goodbye to our beloved Terry. Your prayers for Candy, David, Josh and Johanna are greatly appreciated at this time.

On Sunday, May 20th from 5-9 PM at the Ocean Institute in Dana Point we will celebrate Terry’s life and his legacy at The Terry Martin Project event,” A Body of Work From Wood to Foam”. This event is a LIVE and silent auction fundraiser hosted by the Sport of Kings Foundation that will provide support to the Martin Family.
