Surf Movie “Modern Collective” in San Francisco on Thursday, November 5, 2009

matt — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 03:33:01 +0000

On Thurs., Nov. 5, Aqua Surf Shop and Wavefest are proud to bring you Kai Neville’s latest surf film, “Modern Collective.”

The film is playing at the Balboa Theater (don’t forget to sneak in those beers) with shows at 7:30 and 9:30 PM. The 9:30 PM show will feature a surfboard giveaway from Super Surfboards.

From Zweisberg of Surfer Magazine: “The “Modern Collective” is a collective of six surfers set out on a voyage to alter one’s perception of modern day surfing. Forget pre-dawn charging. Forget golden lighting. Forget glassy waters. They ignore perfect point breaks in favor of chunky onshore wedges. This is about high performance, state of the art, modern-as-hell..

Follow these vogue individuals and obtain a candid look at what a session is actually like with the worlds best. The future has already happened! You will just be watching the replay.

Starring Dane Reynolds, Dion Agius, Yadin Nicol, Mitch Coleborn, Dusty Payne and Jordy Smith.”
