Separate Volume Surfing DVD - Oakley
Author: admin
It isn’t that strange, that no two surfers have the same exact approach to a wave. It is an extension of character and everyone is different. In the making of Separate Volume, the intention was to show how each member of the team is unique. A lot of our surfers have never been spotlighted or even seen outside of a magazine, so this was their chance to shine. The movie also delves deeper into surfers that you have seen hundreds of times but still know nothing about. Nathan Fletcher has voices in his head that make him travel the globe and surf to a different tune. In typical Hawaiian style, Dustin Barca had to fight for everyone?s respect and it is undeniable in his surfing. You will see Brent Dorrington, who at 17 has that natural surfing style that echoes a young Tom Curren. Chris Ward’s unbridled power and mix of wild abandon produces spontaneity in every aspect of his surfing and his life. Sure we traveled to exotic locations around the world looking for world-class waves but that isn’t what Separate Volume is about. It’s about being different; it?s about surfing to your own Separate Volume. Featuring: Chris Ward, Aaron Cormican, Brian Conley, Shane Beschen, Nathan Fletcher, Tom Whitaker, Flea, Dustin Barca and more. Directed by: Matt Goodman Locations: Indonesia, Australia, Mexico, Florida, West Coast, Tahiti, Maldives an Hawaii Shot entirely on: 35mm and Super16 film

Fred Reed enlisted in the Marines in 1966 and went to Viet Nam as an Amtrac crewman in what he calls a “barbecue battalion.” (First Amphibian Tractor Battalion, Third Marine Divions, Danang.) He describes an Amtrac as “a 37-ton barely armored death box with the gasoline tank in the bottom, so land mines could blow it up and barbecue the crew. Great mine detector. I think it was a design feature.” So he knows about Viet Nam and the Marines. Having gotten a faceful of shrapnel and a Purple Heart (”A Viet Cong shooting medal. Why did they give it to me?”) he spent a year on the eye ward at Bethesda Naval Hospital, became a reporter (”the moral equivalent of a used-car salesman”) and covered the military for thirty years. From this he learned many things of note to a former country boy. (”When you have done a cat-shot off the deck of an aircraft carrier, you gain a whole new perspective on drag racing.”) Over the years he acquired an intimate familiarity with all levels of the military. (”An asylum with guns. How much sense does that make?”) “The military,” he says, “is a mix of absurdity and, among officers, cultivated mental retardation, punctuated by interludes of ghastly barbarity. The only way to bear up under the barbarity without strangling someone is to focus on the ludicrousness, of which there is an abundance. So I did.” Au Phuc Dup and Nowhere to Go has been described by Fred’s friends as “the most accurate and least factual book ever written about Viet Nam, and one of the funniest.” Since his friends include former door-gunners, three-tour Special Forces guys, tunnel rats, and Phantom drivers, they probably know what they are talking about. Fred now lives in Mexico, on the north shore of Lake Chapala, an hour south of Guadalajara. He has a glorious Mexican wife and superb teenage stepdaughter (ask him) who somehow put up with him. (”High-octane models, large IQs, very Latin, slightly nuts.”) His two gringa daughters, Emily and Macon, are respectively a jazz

I have friends traveling to Mexico in September and they are worried they will get beheaded. I was wondering if anyone had any hard facts to calm thier nerves about going to Cancun?
If they don't plan on joining a drug cartel, the local police or the Federales they will be perfectly safe!
Its safer than Detroit, LA, Phoenix, Miami, Houston……
