Always loved Brian's work.... really love his outlook on life, great clip!

[@ericcooper4557]

Beautiful surfing photographs from a very down to earth person. I love the fact that right after high school, Brian with a few of his friends (with $200) left home to drive across country not knowing that his entire young life would change.

Does anyone know what he's rubbing on the silicone sealing of his housing at 13:55?

[@mattdimarino5894]

Personhaz it’s like Vaseline to prevent the o ring from drying out and cracking, resulting in leaks in the water housing
