#inspiration
Growing up in a time without the internet it was rare to see things you actually wanted to see on the TV. Sometimes MTV would give you 18 minutes of snowboarding or surfing, back when MTV was the best thing in the world. My friends and I always tried to record it on one of my mums VR taps which would usually be taped over with one of her favorite shows. Sometimes I got my hands on a copy of a surf magazine from the US (surfing didn't exist in the NL) a thing you wouldn't find often. I would read it from front to back and then again followed by me cutting out pages to hang in my room. Inspiration was not everywhere like it is nowadays. So as a young version of myself I would keep changing channels to hopefully find something that would satisfy me, something I could visualize for weeks and discuss with my friends. A couple of years later Dvd's became a thing and based on the cover I bought this 16mm documentary surf film 2002 and it was called The September Sessions by Jack Johnson. It happened to be the best 30 Euro I had ever spent and I used to watch it over and over again. I still love it, the images, stories, voices, and music, I hope you do too.
