Join the MSA as part of our 2009 ‘Goes’ series. This month we go to the big screen premiere of MSA Member and ‘Wave Killer’ Allen Sarlo’s documentary ‘Work To Surf’.
Almost ten years in the making, Work to Surf chronicles the life and times of Allen Sarlo, one of the surfing world’s most accomplished and committed performers. From the earliest days in Venice’s Dogtown haunts to earning his place in the legendary Malibu lineup; from the birth of professional surfing to the cutting edge of big wave tow-in surfing; from ultimate local to consummate world traveler, Allen ‘s story is as diverse as the sport itself.
Yet Allen’s has not been the typical surfer’s path. The foundation of his lifelong obsession has been an extraordinary work ethic that has afforded Allen the balance necessary for an integral surfing life–the true measure of success and an inspiration to surfers and non-surfers alike.
Shot and edited by renowned surfing cinematographer Dave Ogle , Work To Surf takes us from the beaches of Malibu to hidden barrels in Mexico, from Oahu’s thundering North Shore to the wild islands of Indonesia, from desert Baja pointbreaks to 30-foot Island outer reefs.
Featuring the surfing of Mark Foo, Kelly Slater, Jay Riddle, Rob Machado, Yadin Nicol, Pat O’Connell, Bobby Owens, Jay Adams, Peter Cole and Derrick Doerner, mixed to a dynamic soundtrack that includes songs by Ben Harper, Work to Surf is a colorful portrait of a surfer who has made it work, year after year, swell after swell, wave after wave.
