Watch Now: This 50-Minute Film Is a Stylish Portrait of Bryce Young
Bryce Young's frontside surfing is a thing of beauty. Ala Tom Curren, or Joel Parkinson, Young places every move perfectly. No double pump bottom turns. No wild arms. Zero bogged rails. While Young's surfing isn't as radical as what you see on the CT, we're sure every surfer on tour would love to borrow his bottom turn.
Seriously. See if you can find a single fault in his form in this 50-minute film from Australia, Indonesia and beyond.
"'Following the Fall Line' is a portrait of Bryce Young and the people who have inspired him on his own journey," says needessentials, who produced this film. "Edited by Milo Inglis, this film showcases the unique surfing and skateboarding talents of Young while giving an in-depth understanding of the influences that have helped shape his creative approach to waves and terrain.
"Flowing on from concepts explored in the 1977 film “Fall Line,” cinematographers Ti Deaton-Young, Milo Inglis and Gabe Roxburgh beautifully capture the way Bryce’s environment and community influence his creative approach to life. In the film narration Bryce explains how the talents of Ti Deaton-Young, Nat Young, Ryan Burch and Laurie Towner have played such formative roles in his development.
"With an eclectic soundtrack featuring Huun Huur Tu, Dorothy Ashby, William Onyebor, Mick Turner, Terry Riley, Fenua, William Tyler, Donny & Joe Emerson, Goanna and JJ Cale, this film is a stunning portrait of Bryce Young following his own fall line."
Clocking in at nearly an hour, this film is worth setting aside the time to put it up on the big screen, crank the volume, and turn down the lights.
And if you're looking for a style to study, this is it.
