Good Call: A Skimboard Odyssey
The Tenth Street Bros 2012 release, Good Call, was dubbed a skimboard odyssey by those that first viewed the film. An odyssey is defined as an intellectual or spiritual quest marked by many changes of fortune and notable experiences. As advertised, journeys made to Brazil, Mexico, Hawaii, South Africa, and California all resulted in near perfect waves and gains of culture and friendship. Highlights include Morgan Just and the super talented locals tearing apart the sidewash of Sununga, Brazil. Bill Bryan floating across the lip of Newport's Wedge on a 1970's inspired wooden skimboard, and the discovery of Snake Bird Point, a wave that lines down one of Mexico's longest point breaks. Watching this movie to get psyched for a session, is without a doubt, a Good Call!
