Here Comes October, Here Comes the Sunn

This bit of entertainment news jumped out at us: Tia Carrere is reportedly going to produce and star in a movie on a trail-blazing surfer girl from Hawaii, the late Rell Sunn (aka the Queen of Makaha); find out more about Sunn on her official website. We'll be there with popcorn in hand when it makes it to the big screen. Sunn lost her life to breast cancer several years ago, but her legacy lives on, just as the fight against the disease continues. Next week marks the beginning of Breast Cancer Awareness month and we're sending a shout-out to the Keep A Breast Foundation for doing its part to spread the good word--with art and with the help of surfer girls everywhere. Right on.--Stef McDonald

"The Cove" Happy Ending?

The saga of the dolphins captured in the documentary "The Cove" has a happy ending. News reports suggest that those in the Japanese town of Taiji will stop killing the dolphin and set them free. Fingers crossed....

Surf Flicks to Get You in the Spirit

We recently checked out two new surf flicks that will have you jonesing to get out in the water. The Present, the newest flick from Thomas Campbell, follows a crew of stellar surfers riding unique boards from West Africa to Peru to Indo to Hawaii and back. The film highlights female rippers Chelsea Hedges, Kassia Meador and Sophia Mulonovich. The Present is about being in the now and the gift that the ocean gives to us. And we like that.

Dear and Yonder is the newest film from Villa Villa Cola. This all girl surf flick is replete with a great section on the history of women's surfing, perfect waves in Mexi, powerful surf at Maverick's and scenic serenity in Indo. The film shines a light on top surfer chicks such as Stephanie Gilmore, Coco Ho, Kassia Meador, Belinda Baggs and, our hero, Liz Clark. --Rebecca Heller
