Local big wave surfing legend (and occasional plumber) Andrew “Cotty” Cotton is back in a new documentary called “Beneath the Surface”. The film is an amazing insight into what drives big wave surfers to chase the unknown. This time Cotty’s adventure started in 2013 off the West coast of Ireland, after he caught a glimpse of another potential giant wave which he could attempt to ride. Despite the fact that it sits in one of the stormiest seas on the planet, Cotty was not deterred, and the film follows him exploring the possibility that he might have just discovered the wave of his dreams (and everyone else’s nightmares).
It’s been a long time in the making, but the official trailer for the 2015 remake of the classic 1991 film Point Break has been released!
In case you somehow haven’t heard of the original film, it’s an action crime film directed by Kathryn Bigelow, starring Patrick Swayze, Keanu Reeves, Lori Petty and Gary Busey. Reeves stars as the improbably named Johnny Utah, a rookie FBI agent, who is investigating a string of bank robberies suspected to be committed by surfers. The gang of surfers is led by the charismatic Bodhi (Swayze), Johnny goes undercover to infiltrate them and develops a complex friendship with the group.
The 2015 remake stars Edgar Ramirez, Luke Bracey, Teresa Palmer and Ray Winstone, and is scheduled to be released on December 25, 2015, let’s hope it does justice to the original!
