Watch Harry Bryant in Motel Hell

There’s a lot of griping that gets the airplay in surfing. But Harry Bryant is rarely the butt of any of it. For quite a few years now he’s been the most refreshing thing going on in surfing. He brings some throwback Australian surfer enthusiasm back into our lives — riffing on Jack McCoy’s old films like the Psychedelic Desert Groove for inspiration even — and he just released a 45-minute, 3 years in the making banger that took him around the world and ayaya.

Let’s all enjoy a beautiful (and all-too rare) submission to the permanent pantheon of surf cinema and something I’m quite certain we can all agree is fucking sick.—Travis
