Life As A Movie takes professional surfer, Benji Weatherley, and has him travel around the world to experience all of the board sports (skateboarding, surfing and snowboarding) at the best locations with the best riders in their respective disciplines.

The premise itself makes you contemplate the crossover effects of the three major board sports. Even with the rise of two-sport star Shaun White and the existence of the Ultimate Boarder competition, it makes you wonder if the world’s most famous skateboarder, Tony Hawk, would be a good surfer? Or if the greatest competitive surfer of all time, Kelly Slater, would be a good snowboarder? Is standing sideways on a board the same across concrete, water and snow? Life As A Movie offers some ideas.

Life As A Movie is broken down into three dream trips.

1. A surf trip to Kandui Surf Resort in the Mentawai Islands in Indonesia. Benji is joined by professional skateboarder Tosh Townend, snowboarder JP Walker and surfers Yadin Nicol, Tom Carroll, Kalani Robb, Rizal Tanjung and Ross Williams.
2. A snowboard trip to Whistler with snowboarder Dave Downing, Mr. Burton himself, Jake Burton and surfers Shane Dorian and Kelly Slater.
3. A surf, skate and snowboard trip to Japan. The crew for the Japanese session includes skateboarders Tony Hawk, Tosh Townend and Chad Bartie, snowboarders Todd Richards and JP Walker and Kalani Robb. They roll through Koga Skatepark, Big Air Snowboard Park and the Seagaia Ocean Dome

While the action in Life As A Movie skews heavily towards surfing, it does offer some good skateboarding and snowboarding action. Highlights of Life As A Movie include:

• The Indonesian crew collecting epic waves at Kandui. Yadin Nicol scores the wave of the movie.
• The surfing segment at the Seagaia Ocean Dome in Miyazaki, Japan. The Ocean Dome is the world’s largest indoor waterpark and it offers a head-high left, right and bowling middle peak. The Ocean Dome is a surfing miracle.
• A bonus surfing segment on Jack Johnson and his brothers (Pete and Trent) surfing in Indonesia. While there are still a few videos to review, this appears to be the best footage of Jack Johnson surfing.
• A bonus surfing segment of Tom Carroll. Even at age 45, the guy still smooth and powerful.

Life As A Movie is recommended viewing. You can rent it at Netflix or buy it from Amazon.com or eBay.

Do you surf in Southern California? If no, thank you for staying out of our line-ups. If yes, then you need to show some gratitude towards the local non-profit environmental organization, Heal the Bay. Heal the Bay fights to keep the water in Southern California safe, healthy and clean. And since we all hate sinus infections, we need to support their cause. And what better way to support a cause then to attend their party.

Heal the Bay will be holding their 18th annual Bring Back the Beach benefit dinner at 5pm on May 28, 2009 at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California.

The night includes cocktails, dinner, entertainment and a silent auction for many one of a kind items.

The Bring Back the Beach event has sold out for the past four years so buy your tickets now.

Surfer, Dude

Rated R (Pervasive Drug Use, Language and Nudity)

Length - 1 hr 25 min

Considering the star-power of Matthew McConaughey, one would think any movie he stars in would be somewhat popular. And if you throw in Woody Harrelson, a cameo by Willie Nelson, a bevy of scantily clad women, a keg of beer and a pound of marijuana, you figure you would have the makings of a decent stoner comedy. Unfortunately, there isn’t enough pot in the world to make Surfer, Dude funny.

Steve Addington (Matthew McConaughey) is a free-spirited professional soul longboarder that has spent the last six months surfing Teahupoo, Mundaka and J Bay (a longboarder charging Teahupoo!). Addington arrives home to Malibu only to find his previous surfing sponsors have sold their interests to an evil surfer-turn-corporate type, Eddie Zarno (Jeffrey Nordling). Zarno is eager to sign Addington to a new contract but it will require Addington to star in a surfer reality show and to feature his surf skills in a new surfing virtual reality video game. While Addington and his manager, Jack Mayweather (Woody Harrelson) are desperate to make money, Addington is torn between being a broke soul surfer and a surf sell-out. During this deliberation, the surf gods weigh-in as they strike the ocean waveless for almost 60 days. Addington swears off women, weed and even offers a surf sacrifice to the gods by burning a surfboard. What does Addington do next? If you really want to know, go get the movie.

While the surf world has had some marginal movies transform themselves into cult classics (Point Break, Blue Crush, North Shore, In God’s Hands), Surfer, Dude lasted one weekend in the theaters and will be gone from our collective memories in minutes. In a sense, this is unfortunate as the conflict between between financial success and preserving your soul/following your heart could have been neatly applied to the life of a surfer. But this movie gets carried away in just being stupid.

For those of you keeping score at home, Surfer, Dude offers 29 puffs of marijuana, one simulated puke and 18 topless women. McConaughey does not wear a shirt for the entire movie but he does wear a neoprene shirt while surfing.

From a surfing perspective there are a number of items worth mentioning. Keith Malloy was the Surf Consultant and surf double for McConaughey on the film. McConaughey wears black and white striped surf trunks similar to the trunks Greg Noll made famous. Contrary to my previous report, professional surfer Brad Gerlach is NOT in this movie. A segment of the movie shows McConaughey watching vintage footage of Miki Dora, a true soul surfer (among other things), riding Malibu. There is a character in the movie named Greenbough. Greenbough is an older reclusive surfer who lives in Mexico and plays the role of a surfing spiritual advisor. The irony is not lost on Greenbough and the legendary surfer/shaper/filmer George Greenough. The film was made almost exclusively within a five mile stretch in Malibu. Surf spots in Surfer, Dude include Point Dume, Leo Carrillo and Ventura County Line.

But if you really want a chuckle, be sure to watch Surfer, Dude: The Real Story in the Special Features section of the DVD. This feature documents the casting, filming, writing and partying associated with the film. But the most sobering fact revealed in this behind the scenes was that this movie has been in the works for seven years.

The lone bright spot of the movie is the soulful raggae music performed by Xavier Rudd. (iTunes)

The fifth-annual Activision Presents Stand Up For Skateparks benefit took place last month in Beverly Hills, CA. Over $1 million was raised for the Tony Hawk Foundation and its mission to bring free, quality skateparks to low-income communities across the United States.

The party included numerous celebrities and action sports stars. Among the celebrities were Anthony Kiedis (don’t forget about Kiedis being in Point Break and Thrashin’), David Spade, Perry Ferrell, Kathy Ireland, Jamie Lee Curtis and Mia Hamm. The action sports stars included Tony Hawk, Shaun White, Bam Margera, Mat Hoffman, Bucky Lasek, Andy Macdonald, Kevin Staab, John Parker and Dennis McCoy.

Pictures of the 5th Annual Stand Up for Skateparks.

But the only picture you really need is Shaun White over Tony Hawk over Andy Mac.
