Props to the kids over at Peanut Butter Coast, for turning us on to this film.
Onde Nostre is a 16mm Italian surf flick shot primarily in the winter of 2010. The film is directed by Luca Merli & Matteo Ferrari, and produced by BLOCK 1O. The film features surfers- Thomas Cravarezza, Pierpaolo Pito Giachero, David Pecchi, Lorenzo Castagna, and Alessandro Ponzanelli. Liquid Salt interviewed Ponzanelli, back in February.
Some Italian breaks surfed in the documentary include Liguria, Toscana and the southwest Sadrinda coast. There’s a healthy dose of both short sticking, and log rides… with a good combination of Italian cutbacks, and time walking to the nose. In between sessions, you are given an inside look at Italian surf culture.
The Onde Nostre soundtrack includes music by: Blond Redhead, Paine, Cudrelli, Dominique Vaccaro, Yellow Capra, Piero Umiliani, Edwood, Albano Power, Piero Umiliani, and more.
Cheers,

Born and raised in northeastern Iowa, Shawn spent the majority if his childhood running around the countryside in a superman costume. In 2000, after the disappointing realization that he did not in fact have the power of flight…Shawn drove out to the Pacific Northwest. For the last ten years, Seattle has been his home…with one exception…that magical year spent in Puerto Rico…where he learned how to surf.
Post San Juan, Shawn got a job scraping wax off rental boards at Seattle’s Cheka-Looka Surf Shop. When Cheka-Looka closed their doors, SPJ opened Surf Ballard. When Surf Ballard stopped being fun, Shawn got together with his best friend and started Stoke Harvester.
…The Superman costume is still hanging in the closet…just in case
