Quiksilver Pro NY Guide

We’ve got some awesome friends in Long Island, one of them being surfer and filmmaker Thomas Brookins.  If you haven’t had the chance to check out his films, you should.  His recent documentary about NYC’s surfing history, Shadows of the Same Sun, premiered in the NY Surf Film Festival in 2010,  eventually receiving global play and winning Brookins the award of Best Debut of a Director at the NY International Film Festival.

Thomas is working on his new film Fire & Water, which documents the lives of three amazing surfers and NYC firefighters. Featuring interviews with Rob Machado, Rochelle Ballard, Mikey Detemple and more, Fire & Water follows the men across the country in their quest to meet others like themselves.
