In God's Hands.
We all, each of us here, harbor latent dreams, fantasies about what life might have looked like if a turn had been made here instead of there, a pivot there instead of here. Sliding doors, man, but what might have you become if the chips fell… better? An astronaut zooming through space? A rock ‘n’ roll superstar shaking your hips on stage in front of adoring thousands? Chief Executive Officer of the World Surf League, counting Jordy Smith, Connor O’Leary, Jadson Andre amongst your very best friends?
An actor?
Well, guess what? Acting takes no real talent and so your dream could still be achieved and, as fate would have it, there is an open casting call happening right this moment in Santa Cruz. Do I have your attention?
Santa Cruz Surf Project has posted an open casting call for young surfers on the Central Coast for a major feature film.
“The film will be created by an Academy Award-winning filmmaking team — who’d love to meet you! No acting experience required,” reads the release to the public.
The movie is looking for surfers of any ethnicity or gender, between the ages of 14-22.
The casting call will be Saturday, Aug. 27 from 12-5 p.m. at Santa Cruz High School Auditorium 415 Walnut Ave., Santa Cruz, CA 95060.
“Once you arrive, we’ll get you checked in and ready to go – no need to prepare anything, just bring your authentic self! Please come prepared for wait times. If you have any questions, please direct them to [email protected].”
Time is ticking.
But, quickly, what movie do you think this casting is for? I’m going to guess Barbarian Days. Also, which amongst your friends here do you think would make the best actor? I’m going to say Michael Newman.
Now get thee to Santa Cruz High School Auditorium!

I always thought I would be an ok actor until I actually got in front of a film camera and full crew while being an extra on a movie. I couldn’t let myself go like the other extras that were all from a local drama school. they just got right in to it and i just had to play to my strengths by being a surly guy at the bar.
got to hang out with Alice Eve for a few days as my friend was producing the film. so that was a bonus.
I gotta ask…did you get her… autograph?
nothing so crass DS&S_S! heavens!
i think she owed someone a favour. the director i think… she really didn’t want to be there.
goddamn hahaha

a constant at the bohemian house on 4th and strand…also empty pages…AXS Steve Winwood
and SURF II
Blue Crush was on the telly the other night and I was surprised by how good it was. For context, I watched The Mummy last night and enjoyed that too. Although, what the fuck was up with Rachel Weisz’s eyebrows!?
How did your audition go?
I concure……2 words……puberty……blues.
Would talent be so eager to apply if it was a story about a booger or a SUPer?
hypocracy reigns…let’s save the reefers, boyz…and girls. sponsors wanted!

How’s that recycling going, fools>?
I just found out today that the CVS receipts I have been “recycling” for years are not recyclable and actually have toxins in the ink. I will continue to throw them in the recycling though as it makes me feel better than putting them in the trash.
If many pro surfers can act like bitches all the time, and you tell me acting takes no talent…does it just come preternaturally for them? Or did they go to a high-tech sports academy to acquire the skills? More questions than answers.
Duke movie??
NO shortage of young people despo for attention…..
LOL
Extras for Point Break 3: Surf Rage (The Angry Adventures of Andy and Jeff)?
gonefundme link?
A 22 year old with an amphetamine addiction from the west side seems like BG’s target audience, frankly.
He’s too busy surf raging.
reading moriarty…archives. anti-depressive…gnarley, Surfer mag.
Probably nobody even remotely near 22 on Here. Here. or Here.
Definitely more of a Stab demographic
There’s probably more than a few cats here with a bottle in one hand and their .22 caliber in the other, pointed at their own temples. Anti-depressive.
Lol…Then how are they filming themselves?
(.22)? A bottle of wine cooler in their hand?
that or a white claw
Yep. Time ticked here.
Should have been 20 years ago.
Oh well, I’ll have to go back to enjoying anonymity.
