Awesome to see a mature Newcastle surfer taking the win. Gotta admire Glennos form turning around his paddle. He once told me this was passed on from Luke Egan - another nice Novocastrian - who got him into SUP.
Hey Dylan Henry, those little ECS boards do the trick! (Who's Dad taught me how to use a paddle canoeing; well before the days of SUP)
Thanks again Casso for the video.

I know why Kai didn't win, points deduction for the man bun!
Exactly!!!!!
Someone should talk to his stylists about that

Is it because of the man bun or just because it's a poor excuse of a man bun. My son is sporting one as well, similar age I think. 
congrats to all that participated
great footage for great surfing. different styles - sweet to see.
would have been tough deciding.
what is that little orange and white board?
Hi Casso,
I really like the organic look of your footage - a little softness goes a long way -And the grade looks good too.
The lensing is interesting too - i am guessing canon super35mm (apsc) on a fixed lense
The depth of field rendering into the focal plane looks great too If i had to guess i would say its shot wide open! you are doing a great job of pulling focus.
Nice work. Its got a nice consitent look (something I am working on but not achieving right now)
And nice turns from the talent

Hey thanks Reflex - compliments mean a lot coming from you.
I shoot low ISO on a big Sigma zoom (without zooming) and run the aperture wide open for increased depth. Manual focusing at that depth can be tricky, as you can probably see.
That is a great simple formula (although technical to shoot)
- make sure you stick with it As the core of your "look"
The lack of zoom / reframe is refreshing and quite easy on the eye / brain to watch.
Thats the funny thing about film production - often its the limitations or discipline towards simplicity in gear / framing that make them work.
Looking forward to your next production.
