FLUX Hawaii

In 1988, Billabong changed the nature of the surf film with Filthy Habits, a raw and unapologetic look at the unmatchable Billabong surf team. Is it any surprise then that twenty-one years later, surfing is Still Filthy? Gearing up for another crazed First Friday, The Loft presents the premiere of Billabong’s Still Filthy, which also took home the 2009 Surfer Video of the Year at Surfer Mag’s annual awards, so you know it’s gonna be good.

A group from Surfing The Nations will be heading out to Cox’s Bazaar, Bangladesh today acting as ambassadors of surf. When STN first arrived in Bangladesh in 2001, the word ‘surf’ and subsequently ‘surfboard’ did not exist. Now there are 70 Bengali surf boys and girls who have caught the stoke.

Held captive and taught to fear the ocean by a strict Islamic government, a majority of the people don’t know how to swim. Yet their love for surfing takes them into the water anyway, into an experience they never imagined possible. STN will hold their fifth annual Aloha Surf Classic surf contest.
