Snapchat Story: Ocean Park Surf Contest

This is the unedited Snapchat Story that was upload as the contest was going on. This was shot on a phone on both days of the contest. It's just random snap. The official photos and contest report will be up soon. Add us on Snapchat for more Stories on all the stuff we shoot. And for random nonsense.



If you're unfamilar with Snapchat, it's a mobile app that lets you take and post photos and 10 second video clips you shoot on your phone or tablet. These photos and videos are called snaps, they only last for 24hrs. You either send these to snapchat friends or post them to your Story. Snapchat Stories string Snaps together to create a narrative that also lasts for 24 hours.

Curt: The Story Of Surfing's Oldest Grom

CURT is a short documentary about 50-year-old competitive surfer, Curt Harper. Diagnosed with autism as a child, Curt faced many challenges growing up, but one thing that came easy was his love for surfing. Over the past 21 years, Curt has become a beloved fixture in the Southern California surf scene, having played an unlikely, yet vital role in the growth and development of multiple generations of groms.

Bennett Harada
Stop #2 of the 2015 Old Guys Jam Series was this Saturday. It was held at The Cove Skatepark in Santa Monica, CA. As the series' name implies, these are contests for the old guys, ages 30 and over. Each stop is broken down into a couple age divisions: 30 - 39, 40 - 44, 45 - 49, and 50 & Over. It's a pro-am contest that's free to enter, with skate legends like Eric Dressen and Micke Alba competing. There's also an open Girls Division too.
