My Eyes Won't Dry 3

USA, Hawaii Tahiti, Mexico, 2010, HD Video, 57 minDirector: Brian ConleyCast: Brian Conley, pro and amateur tube riders Not since the crystalline visions of George Greenough has any single filmmaker so elegantly notched up such tube riding footage. We almost kapped this film from the programme because we thought it would be a similar mind-numbing excursion into duplication and repetition to the point of catatonia. Well, you will ride plenty of sick, standup, wide open slabby barrels with Conley. You will be force-fed the sweet candy of his tubular addiction, but you will you suck it down like the elixir of life in a windswept summer drought. You’ll also enjoy some brilliant editing, insane music and plenty of epic outside-the-barrel shots. You’ll enjoy the angle from the outside of the guy with the camera getting barrelled before zooming into the tube for the alternate view of what you just saw. There are moments when you yell to the rafters with the stoke Conley must have felt getting so stupidly shacked off his shaggy blond pip. Includes the shot when he casually jumps off the jetski and virtually directly into the tube. A definite step along the evolutionary curve of surfing cinematography.
