Code Red II
In the summer of 2022 a series of storms in the south pacific lit up the southern hemisphere creating a significant swell so big it was named Code Red II. The Code Red II swell first hit Tahiti, then the south shore of Maui. Thus making the best waves in forty years at a surfspot known as Maalaea or Freight Trains. After Hawaii the Code Red II swell slammed California. This movie is the highlights from Maalaea in Maui and The Wedge in Newport Beach and San Clemente and San Diego. Enjoy the show.

The Wave I Ride
Paige Alms is among an elite group of surfers who dedicate their lives to riding giants. Paige grew up with Pe’ahi in her backyard, a proving ground for all big wave surfers. Also known as ‘Jaws,’ the break gets its nickname for the toothy wave that rolls through the lineup, enticing those who wish to test their wits. Historically dominated by the boys, big wave surfing isn’t for the faint of heart. Some even say it’s not for women. But Paige Alms defies the boundaries of big wave surfing every time she paddles into a bomb to put herself against one of nature’s most ultimate forces. Paige’s story is told in The Wave I Ride, what she does in the ocean by any standard is incredible, but to do so with such humility and passion is what separates her from the rest. This is not just another surf film. It’s not about aerials and cut backs. It’s the story of what the ocean gives this woman’s soul and what she gives back.
Thundercloud
In June of 2012, Fiji’s Cloudbreak delivered one of surfing’s most historical days. A momentous swell rolled smack-bang into the middle of the contest window for one of professional surfing’s most anticipated events, the Volcom Fiji Pro, and surf fans salivated at the thought of the world’s top rated surfers being put to the ultimate test. As many contestants prepared themselves to face down the fear of annihilation at the hands of the ocean at it’s most awe-inspiring, a decision was eventually made to call off the event. It was a decision that divided the surfing world and cast further doubt over the professionalism of the sport. A select few paddled out anyway and joined by a host of big-wave surfing’s most dedicated performers, uncovered a new realm of bravado. A realm where immortality was not certain, but certainly tested and where Cloudbreak, a wave that had been off limits to the surfing public since its discovery in the early 80s, revealed herself as almost inexplicably frightening and simultaneously beautiful. THUNDERCLOUD is the documentary that traces the history of one of the world’s most controversial and revered surfspots through to this epic day. Directed, produced, filmed and edited over three years by One Palm Media’s Talon Clemow, the two hour film was originally intended to showcase the incredible surfing captured from three key, groundbreaking swells at Cloudbreak, the first of which occurred in 2011. As filming progressed, it became clear to Clemow that a deeper, richer story about one of the world’s first-ever surf resorts, Tavarua Island - established on the atoll closest to the infamous Cloudbreak – had for the most part, remained undocumented and this became the background narrative for THUNDERCLOUD.
