The Living Curl for Holiday Giving

living_curl_xmas_2016

“Jamie Budge, who will narrate his movie live and direct. Once a fundamental calling card of the surf-movie experience, the live narration brings a sense of showmanship, wit, and community to a type of screening that’s all but extinct in today’s sea of red-carpet premieres and DVD release parties.”    Ethan Stewart, Santa Barbara Independent

Other comments on Jamie’s films . . .

   “It was our best show yet . . . !”     ZJ’s Boarding House.

“ . . . it is already my favorite surf movie in my entire collection, beyond my expectations.  You captured that era in the early 60’s (actually my era when I first got started), better than anyone had ever done before.   I am also so impressed with your surfing ability and style way back then.  You were actually as good as all those guys, ability and style, maybe a synthesis of everyone of those guys you featured.”     Ira Nepus

 

 its really great. you gave us a copy 🙂    Kathy Gidget Zuckerman

   Your movies are selling like hot cakes!!!  Marie, Tyler Surfboards 
 

     LOVE “The Californians” great historical content of the early ’70’s!   Watched some of the new DVD tonight @ the HB Surf Museum with

            DAVID, classic early Seventies stuff about when I first landed on these shores in ’72!   Peter Townend

 

      Jamie,

      Watched your movie last night and thoroughly enjoyed it.

      I especially like that you, were a fine surfer in your time, related properly to all of those guys and told us  

      the real inside out of what was going on.   Again, Jamie, I really enjoyed your unhurried narrative, and how you threaded

      the scenes together… giving me for one, memories of all those guys… especially those who I’d say were of the ‘Slipcheck Era’

      Aloha, tom (Morey, inventor of the Boogie Board and Slipcheck).

 

             I gave a copy of “The Californians” to my friend Mike who shapes for Tyler.   He particularly appreciated the part about the “dark days” of shaping when boards

             sucked.  He said he has tried to explain that era to people and your movie totally nails it.  Thank you Jamie.      Aloha,      Katherine and David Kramer

 

            Hi Jamie,  Yes, the film should sell itself.  It is wonderful and I enjoyed every minute.  Roger Mann, Longboard Collector Club

           Of “The Living Curl” I wrote:  “The Living Curl” is a “must see” for all those interested in surfing’s rich history anyone wanting to enjoy a

           surfing film that combines all the elements needed to make it a classic.”   

 

           Since I’ve run out of superlatives, the same can be said for “The Californians”.  It is really, really , REALLY GREAT!
