AFTERMATH


AFTERMATH from Sean Benik

In 2015, Oliver Kurtz and Sean Benik collaborated to create Serotonin, a 6-minute short. In it, Oliver scores one of the best waves of the winter at Pipe and the best wave of the summer at Newport Point (which landed him the cover of SURFER), and together with Sean’s quick cuts and abrupt song changes, it turned out to be one of the most memorable edits of the year. Now, two years later, Sean and Oliver teamed up again to make Aftermath. While it’s clearly a sequel to Serotonin, it’s three times as long, and three times as weird (in the best possible way). - Zander Morton

Teahupoo Huge XXL Waves July 2015 Drone Footage



In July 2015 a massive swell hit Teahupoo, Tahiti in French Polynesia. This swell created massive 30 foot waves, surfing by Raimana, Matahi Drollet, Niccolo Porcella, Matehau Tetopata, Oliver Kurtz, Russell Bierke and more. This aerial video was filmed with a DJI Inspire and Phantom 3. Teahupoo is one of the most powerful and deadly waves on the planet, and breaks over a shallow reef, creating a below sea level effect. "Teahupoo" loosely translates to "place of skulls". Shot in 4K, hopefully Vimeo will include 4K options in the future.
