CALIFORNIA SOUL | A Film by Tatsuo Takei

This video is all about the best of California soul surfing over the last two years.
Most of the footage can be seen in the NobodySurf Originals series that I made for them. This is a unique collaboration with Jitzuwa Finder, who makes custom soundtracks for NobodySurf Originals. Also, I added footage that never made it to the series to come up with something new and exciting.
Aloha and Mahalo

Whatinthe world just happened......%^%...Waves for days🥰

[@byronmillanicia3384]

I was learning for a couple years , didn't get even close to ride waves like the people in then video, but for sure was a lot of fun!!! Sometimes I would go behind the brake and just seat there lessening to the waves!!! and looking at the water!!! so much fun, I really need to get a job a place to live in , and definitely get back in to learning surfing.

[@markusbroyles1884]

I'm 72 and I've surfed all my life since age 11. Longboard is my fave ~ I switch stance and carve it like these guys still. Learning Kitesurfing in North Carolina at present. Not much surfing around here. I lived i Hawaii Big Island 30 years and I've surfed Maui, Kauai, Oahu, Mexico. This is great because theres no voice just great music and the best surfers. Thanks ~

[@wakeupamerica4610]

This the first surf flick ive watched in 15yrs....THE MUSIC IN THIS WAS FANTASTIC!!!!!! SHIT MUSIC FOR SURF VIDS RUIN THE BEAUTY OF THE PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE RIDES. This music was great!!!!!

[@Akooks]

Rob Machado is the reason I have been surfing for 24 years. He came to our Jr Life Guards in CBad and surfed with us when I was 9. What a legend

[@chuckb8945]

With 60 years of surfing experience, I'm speech less about the beauty of this video in all aspects. Masterpiece comes to mind.

[@maxflo6978]

Holy crab , gimme some knowledge please !! Wish i could have those ecperineces too. Im over 30y but absolutly rookie :( and flashed By the smooth rides in the Video

[@chuckb8945]

Just watched again. Spell binding.

[@grahampmajor]

It really is

[@rctrix9063]

A lot of my old surfing mates have passed. In the era of digital video it's a gift that these people and their families and friends will see what they could do. All I have are memories, which is great but a few short videos would be gold.

[@codedlAnguage]

You are not the only one who is speechless now trust me 🏄🏄🏄🍌. 💝💝💝💝

[@fabriziomosto6327]

Awesome 🤙

[@craigklein4752]

What do all these surfers have in common? A consciousness of arm, hand, knee and ankle positioning, and a sense of board position and flow. Making everything look smooth and graceful. Style.

[@codedlAnguage]

I am actually amazed that I have landed here today 💓❤️. 🍌🏄. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. 🏄🍌. Thank you Universe and Safe Surfing ❤️❤️❤️

[@rctrix9063]

Surf as a recreation and not a sport is what I feel from this delightful video. Thank you.

[@williamhanley7031]

I recognize that bowl s c t street . That frikin bowl looks like heaven

[@rickweeks]

The fluid carve, swooping, perching and ankle twitching... pure art and soul. Grace.

[@gracepollard3296]

heyyy '

[@CameronC.]

1:13 this dude and pose is absoultely awesome! This video is an inspiration!

[@davidtreichelpppj5304]

I enjoyed this film ...Thanks for putting on KZbin .... There are some amazing surfers on it ! Some I've been watching for years ..Some I've seen in the water . I saw Jen Smith at MALIBU once and I thought " that gal is hands down the best surfer in the water " ....

[@ldfreitas9437]

Can't wait to get my new board out in the water in a few months, when the Santa Cruz water warms up a tad and the south swells start to roll in.

[@Tribblepuppy]

Love seeing the long boards here, I had a 7 1/2' Hobie board when I started surfing in 1966 I Southern California. Sticking your foot on the front end of the board was very exciting. No, they don't handle as well as the short boards of today, but that doesn't mean it wasn't as beautiful and exciting.

[@cesarreyes8150]

Thank you Tatsuo, once again I was transported thoughtfully to my youth , when surfing in my several close breaks in front of Lima - Peru. God Bless you Bro....

[@Andy-br1hq]

I wish I had regular access to waves like these. It’s the rare occurrence anything good rolls out here.

[@asaied100]

This is love, passion, and gifted eyes and pure talent to take these footage, the riders are out of this world. Just pure love and magic!!!!!

[@_premium91]

There a certain vibe on a long board u cant get on a short board.🤘🏿VIBES...💯

[@kt5456]

I will surf today in on-shore condition but my mind with these moments in this film. Stay stoke!

[@smishsrawnaturereview8528]

I wish there was more of CA's soul left to discover... Surfing & the oceans may be the last frontier! Very soulful video.. thx

[@CameronC.]

the intro was awesome!!

[@jeffy69ism]

I dig the garcia poster in the shaping room 🤙🏼🏄🏽‍♂️🪅

[@jaimemc7886]

Minimalism, less is way more, pure art! Thanks!

[@gustatrillo-paxosGTP]

most amazin' thank you surfers....ballerinas of the waves....

Nothing makes me want to surf more than this video!! yeeew from sd

[@ianmoone316]

Wind, water and wave. walking the log. style and passion will never go out of fashion.big boards and big rewards, thank you nobody! like the boards keep them vids loooong.

[@jammyd33]

This makes me wanna buy a twin fin 🤤

[@EdwinLap]

Great music accompanied by great surfing. Tosh has Papa's style...

[@civilsocietyprivateinteres1711]

Kids a proper trustafarian like his dad

[@robertdawson2743]

Really inspiring. I haven't had a surf for over a year now what with covid and other crap getting in the way. Dying(not literally)to get surfing my old log again. A 3-4 foot clean, mellow right hand with light offshore breeze is what I,m dreaming of. This video is as close to it for now. Love the longboard footage.

[@gmc8810]

Nice video! I grew up surfing around Ventura country and Santa Barbara County areas. I moved away and I didn't realize how much good therapy surfing was for me. I would love to move back. Too bad it doesn't say where these surfing places were at . Thanks again! 1968- 1990 .

[@prowelderbill]

This is what old school wave riding was about !😎

[@vegetables1523]

burch and disney have it, man

[@timhalley6987]

Surfing in harmony with OMO rather than trying to destroy the wave. And not a contest vest to be seen. Nice job folks.

[@dontbugme7362]

Right?!?!?!? So much of what passes for surfing these days more closely resembles gymnastics.

[@paulschwartz6074]

Beautiful video. What surfing is all about -- healthy fun in partnership with the environment. Thanks for celebrating so many talented, stylish ladies. Where's Devon Howard surfing at 7:25?

[@robbiecrace9450]

one million style points at 25:31 for the laid back bottom turn / hair adjustment combo

[@gordonquigg9389]

Thank you Mr Takei for such a beautiful fun movie of the art of really neat boards and the subtleties and differences in interesting riding styles here. And how you manage to throw in the refined art of Rob Machado's extremely hard core speed carving where he flies around the waves like a super hero with super natural powers, and yet somehow it works seamlessly, because of the Zen like flow to his style.

[@squirewinter7186]

Hi 😉 trying toooo see you in the groove ...again later 🤙 ?? with left's if you want to pop in to see the Flickr photos from our index of barrels..#7 ok 🏝️🏜️

THIS IS SURFING ! betta than all that kiddie board spinny spinny aerial gymnastics they ( like performing seals ) do these days ..!

[@kylewattssurfing3266]

Awesome cool ..

[@rjmacdonell9340]

Wow absolutely wow. Amazing production - angles / zoom/ music / cuts. A masterpiece. The sense of limiting our everyday world elements and focusing solely on the surfer riding the wave in an undisclosed location; creatively enjoyable.

[@user-jp7eo8tn3u]

やべぇっす。竹井さん🥰

[@andymat7359]

Man, great job guys! For me this was a symbiosis of my 25 years surfing, there was some footage from a couple of spots that had reminiscent conditions from my Cali visit. Awesome music, some upcoming stars with style and pose, and also some unexpected appearances from legends such as Joel Tudor and my own fellow goofy foot style guru Rob Machado, I have just been diagnosed with a life changing back injury and at the moment I'm close to selling my boards, however this video gave me hope so thankyou.

[@heidiosborne6638]

good luck to you

[@fredlyw1990]

The soundtracks are beautiful

Very nice surfing!!

[@doisalquimistas7119]

@@prestonshores1235 hey friend, we're from Brazil. Right now it's soooo great to see that kind of surfing and just forget about the reality (laughts). I understand your opinion, but i think thats nice to see, so we can learn more about our boards you know. For a brazillian surfer this videos are amazing. And i'm sorry for my english lol. God bless you!!
