Proximity (2016)

Proximity: Directed by Taylor Steele. With John John Florence, Stephanie Gilmore, Kelly Slater. The film follows eight of the world’s best surfers – four legends and four rising stars – as they search for new waves and deeper understanding in exotic destinations.

“Sometimes the non surf parts of surf flicks feels bolted on an inorganic, not so here. The surer pairings are well matched and their interactions and interesting and playful and feel in tune with each type of surf style displayed. My favourite segment is Rasta and Steph criss-crossing on the face, beautiful.”
