The Inertia

Sixteen-year-old Australian Oscar Langburne definitely has a little Craig Anderson in his giddyap. And that easy-going style seems to fit perfectly in the dreamy point break that is New Zealand’s Raglan. While Oscar originally set out to create a film highlighting lefts and rights, the current world situation dictated a different strategy.

“The original idea was to do a film that was half long, lefts and half right points that I thought might suit linking some turns,” he told us in a dispatch this morning. “I guess it’s inspired by people I’ve been digging like the usual suspects: Parko, Steph, Curren, Asher, Craig, etc. plus Margo… he’s unbelievable. So we decided on Raglan in NZ and some right points in Australia but only got the left-hander section done due to travel restrictions. Also Billy Lee-Pope, who filmed and edited it, is now stuck in NZ cause of the virus lockdown there so the right-hander part will have to wait and become Part II when we’re allowed to move around again.”

So for now, you’ll have to enjoy the soothing tempo of “Away From the Numbers” on its own.
