"OPEN RHYTHMS" A surf film by Cliff Kapono

Open Rhythms is a short film that celebrates the need for different crafts in different waves. Filmed on location in Hawai‘i, South Pacific, and West Africa, not all waves are created equally, but they are all equally loved. Hope you enjoy it. (Cliff Kapono)

Amazing editing, amazing camera, amazing surfing, amazing music choice and amazing vibes what else can you ask for

[@andreaanticoli6787]

Video di surf Bellissimo!!! greetings from Italy!

[@wesleywong5407]

Thanks Cliff for this great surf film. I liked the fact that you mentioned the kind of boards you were using and it was particularly nice to see really stylized surfing on mid-length boards which I now use most of the time. And the production as a whole was edited with a very nice mix of surfing and non-surfing footage. Hope to see a 'Open Rhythems' part 2...

[@pekelor3923]

He kanaka Hawai'i ki'i'oni'oni kēia! Kanaka noi'i 'epekema a kanaka he'enalu po'okela, ka lahui hawai'i eo!!🤙🏽✊🏽🐚🗿🌊

[@macc1370]

Great film! Solid surfing in gnarly conditions. I loved the concept with the board sections and the music too

[@tobyfisher6374]

One of the best surf vids I've seen in years!

[@reonaledo]

THE BEST SURF FILM EVER. I got totally goosebumps at the section between 06:30 and 10:38. This film is just an art.

[@user-se8hh4uh6x]

With such a great great surfer the film became a hit.

[@surfscrapbook]

Great style

[@lex1234712]

Really enjoyed it. Thanks guys. The ocean is so beautiful.

[@SPFSURF]

Sick!!!

[@michaelhogue2891]

Absolutely beautiful surfing!

[@joelschumacher8970]

Yeah bruddah C! Come back to Cali for OR#2!!

[@finsadventures656]

Looks good 🤙

[@lr713]

What a great surf flick. The surfing itself is a combination of power and finesse, always with style. The lines taken are creative and smoothly ridden. The artistic choices are what makes the overall experience great. As others have noted, using the board style as a session marker is clever, the footage is beautiful, the editing is on point and that soundtrack is amazing. This film is a labor of love and it shows.

[@judgegoodevening6231]

he be not the shredder, he be the soul surfer.

[@johnbrianlopez7777]

So sick!!! That's Epic!!!!!! One hand loves the other lyrics !!! One heart beats only for you !!!

Love that I've never seen any of these waves before. refreshingly attainable

[@ianmoone316]

First there was no fin, then the fin, twin fin, thruster and i can't believe there will be no new evolution in board development coming. Surfing is pure and dynamic

[@mandiocadabraba]

Awesome soundtrack, edition, photography... All perfectly connected!

[@driftless1870]

Absolutely epic.

[@lastshoelace]

Thanks for putting this out there, Cliff. Dig all that you’ve been up to these past years

[@ayi1979]

[@LordHalloran]

Absolutely beautiful... Stokes me up to hit the winter waves of new england

[@kukapuouhaagunderson8693]
