    xyz55321 was just a kid we know who started the other thread. He said he'll delete it.
    Our idea is below
    And we're from northern new jersey not central

    A friend and I had something in the works.
    One of our problems is that I just started surfing so I'm really not video worthy yet hahaha
    So not to steal your show or anything
    We could use some more guys who would be down or ideas
    Our idea was more of glorifying NJ for what it is, especially all year round. About dealing with the crowds in the summer, empty breaks in the winter.
    But also try to capture the diversity of NJ surfing

    All suggestions and help is welcome

    Dark Fall was a outstanding movie but not a Documentary. It was great to see some local fellas who rip it rep Jersey well.

    Stop trying to glorify surfing in NJ. Why do people today feel the need to broadcast what they do in their everyday lives? Just enjoy surfing for what it is and leave it as is...just surf!

    I didn't think it was all that amazing either. There was some great NJ surfing and surfers in it and for the most part that was good. But the narration was so freaking lame, and the footage from the tropical locations made it kind of fall flat for me. Could've been a lot better with some more editing.

    i never got to watch dark fall bc my ps3 ate it!!!

    zaniac, you should mess around with some short clips before you go full feature. you might even get a little better at surfing by then too....

    Yeah we were talking more and more about it. We probably are going to just go with a short video or something that we're making for school.
    Still though any suggestions or tips would be helpful on making surf videos
