SURGE
A short film by Luke Slijpen

SURGE is a collection of sessions filmed across South Africa over the past year and a half.

Between life on the Challenger Series, carving out time for a proper project wasn’t easy, but every moment at home added up to this short film.The intention was to create something personal, rooted in the waves and places that shaped me. Proud to drop this one and even more excited for the next project, where I’ll have the time to chase trips purely to film.

Thanks to Vans South Africa and everyone who helped make this happen.
