Sanuk surf teamer, Matt Pagan, has submitted an incredible video part to Innersection.tv that showcases his talents at one of California’s most esteemed waves- Lower Trestles.

As a collaborative effort with his filmmaking brother, Matt cranked to meet the deadline for submission. He needs YOUR help to make the cut. His part is so stylee we had to take second look. And a third, fourth and fifth.

Here is some feedback Matt has gotten regarding his part! (Note: Innersection brainman, Taylor Steele, dropping some love)

About Innersection.TV (according to the site itself):

IT’S PRETTY SIMPLE. Surfers/filmers put their sections on the site (week 1). Members rate the sections on a 1-10 scale (week 2), which narrows the field down to Top 10 finalists. Then Members rank the Top 10 in order of preference: 1 thru 10 (week 3). After that, (week 4) we announce the winners and do it all over again.

The five highest rated surf sections will then become part of the Innersection surf movie. They will have the rest of the year to improve their section before it goes on the final DVD.

The final Innersection DVD will include the year’s top 20 sections — five qualifiers from four Rounds of competition. From these 20, you will decide which section deserves the grand prize of $100,000.

Go make your eyes and ears happy now. If you like what Matt has served up, VOTE and give him some love!

Surf filmmaker, Taylor Steele, has done it again. His latest creation, Castles in the Sky, is the beautiful follow up to his previous masterpiece Sipping Jetsreams. For this film, Steele and his select crew of surfers traveled way off the beaten path to score places most can only dream about. The crew filmed in five remote countries over the course of three years.

Castles in the Sky is shot on stellar 16mm and captures an aesthetic few surf productions can compete with. The film explores what happens when the typical surf travel mentality gets left at home.

“We created Sipping Jetstreams to inspire surfers to break away from the pattern of traveling to the same well-known destinations, but as a result, we ended up inspiring ourselves to do the same. Before that film was even done, we were already planning this next evolution of the project with a whole new list of destinations. If Sipping Jetstreams was like an ambient dream you have after travel, Castles in the Sky is more like the experience of actually being there.”
– Taylor Steele

Don’t worry, surfing is still the centerpiece. In fact, Castles in the Sky showcases today’s top notch talent. From high flyers to style masters, Steele made sure to assemble an eclectic cast worthy of all the anticipation.

While we don’t want to ruin the experience for you with all the details- we can tell you now, that Sanuk guru, Dave “Rasta” Rastovich, puts on a show-stopping performance to conclude the film. It’s definitely one you won’t want to miss.
