Why isn't this guy on the cover of surf mags, getting feature stories and in Taylor Steele's movies? The surf industry works in perculiar ways...

Chippa Wilson is one of the most stylish innovators in modern surfing, and on top of that he is one of the most humble, down-to-earth guys you will ever meet. This little profile was shot over a two month period on the far north coast / Gold Coast between February and April 2009.

I hope the industry pulls its head out of its arse and starts to recognise this kid with a truly freakish talent.

    could you please tell me what the effect is with the mad colours at the start......
  • Nick Brooks 4 months ago
    just play around with your custom gradients in video filters (thats if your using Final Cut). Pretty simple stuff, its not actually a preset effect you've kind of got to make it yourself with the gradients.
