Stephanie Gilmore - The Tempest.

Показать описание

The Tempest is here.

It’s hard to go past Indonesia for a strike mission in the middle of the liturgical year. We scoured the archipelago from the comfort of our office chairs in search of a wave that compliments Steph’s particular set of skills. Steph was after “cute slabs” – the definition of which you’ll discover in due course—and while we weren’t blessed with days of waves, the one day of money was well worth the wait, and near-death experience of the boat ride back to base.

The visual entrée to Stephanie Gilmore’s issue was directed by one of the most prolific in the surf film and photography game, Mr. Jon Frank. We headed to the far reaches of the Indonesian archipelago in search of the perfect right to compliment Steph’s surfing, and well, we found it. The accompanying track is performed by classically trained pianist and composer Alberto Bof, a feature of an early 1900s piece by Maurice Ravel, “Jeux d’eau,” with sound design by Venice-based MKRS Studio. Here’s two days on a leaky boat through the rose-tinted specs of the eternally peppy, Miss Stephanie Gilmore. Enjoy.

Steph has taken the slow style and easy grace of long boarding, and has transformed it into the modern era with speed and precision. She is one of the best free surfers of all time, so beautiful to watch, a ballet of spiritualism merged with athletisism. Go girl.

She's a mermaid of a surfer, just flows with the waves and blends into it all ...Top marks for the film work and editing..

I've never seen a surf film like this. I knew Steph had beautiful style and was telling friends but this is amazing. I happen to like "classical" music anyway but what a relief to get away from the usual pounding rock and hear Ravel's truly expressive work. For me surfing isn't about what tricks someone can pull off, it's about beauty. There is plenty here

Luscious imagery of a near-perfect break combined with spacious classical piano accompaniment and Stephanie Gilmore's fluid & graceful surfing style is nothing short of sublime. The Tempest is one of the most enjoyable surf films I've ever seen.

The only female surfer to have developed a truly aesthetically pleasing style that is up there with the best.

Thank you, @stephaniegilmore. This is a piece of art, a delight for the sight a masterpiece. I'm speechless. For me there isn't any other surfer who can match Steph's style and technique. I don't have any doubt when I say that Steph is the best surfer of all times.

Husband Seth, poaching off his wife's account : Anyway, for those of us who had the fortune to watch Margo Godfrey at La Jolla Shores in the 60's, the similarities in grace and style are amazing. This was when we dreamt of five, not three, quarter inch redwood stringers at eleven feet in length ; and there was this skinny little twelve-year-old wheeling hers around in ways that we very humbling to say the least.
