A Forum to Get Noticed: Surfing Meets Social Media

Screenshot from Innersection.tv

As journalist Beau Flemister writes in Surfer Mag’s “SOCIAL VISIONS,” most of us aren’t new to social media. It’s everywhere. It’s changing the way we communicate, the way we live and learn. And now, Innersection.tv is bringing this online social environment to surfing. Innersection has one purpose: to produce the highest quality film with the best filmmakers and the best surfers. It will produce a film that tells a story, a film that gives personality to the surfers. As Nathan Myers of Innersection.tv says: “There are a lot of great surfers out there who’ve never had a forum to get noticed like this. It’s exciting.”

Surfing, meet social media. Meet an open environment, with endless opportunities and a chance to get noticed. This is an incredible step in the world of surf films. We’ve all watched them: those surf films that just seem to be random footage, one maneuver after another, with no apparent story. No art. No creativity. With this new approach to surf filmmaking, we should begin to see some great quality films emerge.
