Over the course of five days, the best female skaters from across the globe congregated in Tokyo, Japan to take part in the first ever Skate Exchange. The experience organized by the Women’s Skateboarding Alliance in partnership with B-Global Agency and powered by JTB set out to unite skaters across the globe for a cultural exchange but also to show the world the true essence of skateboarding. Skaters came from all over; Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, the U.S and Japan, to together experience the city and this unique event.
I was extremely excited to be able to film a piece for Korduroy.tv’s “Sea Movies”. It’s a humbling experience to be amongst the filmmakers that have made a piece for Korduroy. Sometimes unplanned trips are the way to go. Without building up our expectations, we are more willing to accept inconveniences—like getting kicked out of a makeshift camping spot in the middle of the night—as opportunities. Setting out on a last-minute trip, Jen Smith, Mele Saili and Jenna Balester only had one fixed goal: make it to Tofino, B.C. for the Queen of the Peak surf competition. In this episode of Sea Movies presented by Reef, filmmaker Hayley Gordon shows us the ladies’ spontaneous strategy into the Pacific Northwest pays off with some fun waves and stunning scenery.

Here’s some footage she got along the way… hope to see her back here soon!

A southern California surf and turf blend, just in time for summer. This video is a scrapbook of many of my friends doing what they do best. Surfing, skating, partying. I’d been planning on releasing this at the end of last summer, but life being what it is we didn’t get enough good surf days to flesh out the video the way I wanted. It’s taken a long time, but this is what I had envisioned when I first conceived of the video. The extra time allowed me to get more people in the video, so I think it turned out for the best. Enjoy!
