Skool Sucks - Exclusive School of Surf Myspace Episode

Red Bull Riders Cup: School of Surf, a new documentary from VBS. When we first heard about the National Surf League and the Red Bull Riders Cup, our response was something along the lines of “Oh [not looking up from the computer], high school kids in surf teams surfing against each other in some sort of surf competition? I don’t know, not the most amazing thing in the world, but could be decent.” Because we are sports, we agreed to go out to Hermosa Beach and film it, thinking maybe it’d be good for an episode of Americana or some Hi Shredability bonus crap. Nothing major. Then we got there and instantly became so wrapped up in all the teenage drama that by the time we looked at our watches, we realized we had shot an entire series and grown long scraggly beards. It was like the surfing equivalent of getting sucked into a Sunday afternoon Degrassi marathon. “School of Surf” follows the surfers competing in the 2008 season from beginning to end, documenting all their relationships, family pressures, hilarious teen riffing, wipe-outs, and good rides like some sort of creepy old man. Look for it on VBS.
