Tim Boydell’s First Swell
Author: Surf Europe
Shot by 26-year-old
tim boydell (who also put together
Reubyn Ash’s 2011 winning Innersection video part), ‘First
Swell’ was screened at last year’s
London Film Festival and documents the English crew of
Tom Lowe,
tom butler,
mitch corbett,
mark harris and
josh hughes as they set out towards the British Isles’ most remote fringes in search of undiscovered world-class breaks. The crew spent 6 weeks searching every nook and headland for new lineups. In the end, they only scored 2 days of
Swell but the reward was a handsome one, the discovery of Evies, and unknown righthand slab.
With plans to return as soon as possible, it shouldn’t be long before you seen more footage of the
UK’s most recent closest kept secret.
Another of the U.K.'s more recent heavy slab discoveries, Rileys.
