Project Summary
In a world where surf culture is curated and commercialized, we set out to capture something real. Partnering with Flexfit and Scotty Stopnik, this project strips it all back — no filters, no polish. Just raw moments, honest grit, and a reminder of what surf was before the noise. Shot for ESPN and the World Surf League, The Soul of Surf is a tribute to the ones who never left.
