Die Pro is as awesome as it sounds!
Hollywood generally gets the surf thang wrong, (Am I right Sam George?). Blue Crush, In God’s Hands, The Perfect Wave, etc., etc., etc. all fall flat in one way or anoth and we leave the cineplex feeling so sad. Why can’t you just get me, H-Wood? Why can’t you put something on screen that replicates what it’s like to sacrifice all for the…the…the…stoke?
Thankfully, we have South Africa. The new film, Die Pro, has a name as awesome as its message. From what I can tell (I don’t speak Afrikaans and Dam Fahrenfort is too busy owning Venice to help!) it involves chasing the dream, being scouted, paddle-outs, overcoming adversity, big bucks, winning sponsorships, winning, murdering WSL surfers in cold blood while screaming “DIE PRO!”
Watch the trailer here and beg BEG the producers to bring it to America.

They even had a funeral for a Firewire, apparently.

Life in an Afrikaner fantasy world – better because it’s context-free!
so much emotion in this clip I can’t take it… this movie looks to be about as gay as the name “Chas”…….. or “Les” for that matter…
Chas you had me excited. What a turd this will be
If there’s one thing the Dutchmen know how to do it’s make surf movies! Lekker bru!
