Day after Valentine's screening of Ank Manchild's "Lost in the Ether" at Anthology Film Archives, an intimate quasi-educational look at shapers and their designs as told by an Australian who actually gives a shit. Has 'narration' as told by Kidman himself, although rumour has it Mish will be doing the next one inna Uki-tinged Cross Bay accent. Speaking of which, classic Parmenter 'goober?' remark about there being, 'too much fashion in surfboards' which encouraged and upset audience members, depending on their cutback. One gracious lady couldn't believe how much she'd learned during the film, visibly relieved when specific questions about 'belly and roll' were explained onscreen. Apparently, 'in Montauk' they like to keep people guessing about the function of certain surfboards. A voice in the crowd of 75 or so admitted to being 'surprised that more people in the New York Surfing community weren't present for such an important film." A gentleman nearby chimed, 'the movie is not for everyone.' It wasn't Andy Kessler or Michael Oppenheimer.

There's something almost naughty about viewing this footage of Geppy at work, an otherwise intensely private individual who wore a dust-mask during his brief intv, not unlike the other 'half' of an OG San Diego Fish. They give tours of the White House and the Pentagon, right? Now you know what'sup with Guldens!
