You can’t really go wrong with two hours of giant Cloudbreak captured in the glorious high-definition of a RED camera can you? Thundercloud is the feature film by Talon Clemow that charts the entire history of this famous wave — from its tribal origins all the way to the quantum leaps in big wave paddle surfing witnessed there over the back-to-back-to-back swells of 2010, 2011, and the famously postponed Volcom Fiji Pro of 2012. Equally as mesmerizing as the footage is the experience of listening to the underground heroes of those swells tell their stories. Guys like Mark Healey and Kohl Christenson, whose insights contain the eloquence and spiritual clarity of say a Jack Kerouac in his Zen Buddhist phase. Only instead of necking cheap Port with hobos, they earned their wisdom riding 20-foot “atomic ice sculptures,” as Mark Healey calls them.
