Well, with the passing of legendary surf shooter, Sonny Miller, and the start of the contest at J Bay, here's epic footage from one of the best surf vids of all time, Searching for Tom Curren.
Featured is a short interview with Sonny and footie of Curren's very first wave at J Bay.

The master of the righthand point at the world's best righthand point.
I wore this VHS tape out...but still have it cuz it's so good!
The first round of the J Bay contest ran last night in pumping conditions.
If you're a night owl and like watching surf contests, don't miss it.
Here's the link

If the contest is running, live stream begins sometime after 10:30pm.

Sonny was a local legend here in Encinitas.
BBQ with him at his place "Rancho Relaxo" in Elfin Forrest just before all the fires here in north county last month.
Rancho Relaxo survived but not much else around it.
Sonny was a kind caring man with plenty of character in his personality. His garage is a museum of filming and water housing equipment from the past 30 years. He traveled the globe filming the elite surfers of the world while still caring for his sick mother. He was a great man in my eyes just from the short time I had the pleasure to spend with him.
R.I.P. Sonny

Nice, T2.
Those kind of losses can really rock the community, and not just our small beach towns, globally.
It's obvious that he was a classic character and a quality human.
Fortunately for us, as an artist he leaves behind an amazing body of work and vivid documents of standout people, places, and eras in surfing.
...not to mention a worldwide love and respect.
RIP!

Any time your close to getting shacked you are surfing. In my way of looking at things, that is.
You should see Josh rip on a snort board.
He is also a three time "world champion" wave sailor and an all around great guy!
