''With their innovative designs and intentional asymmetries, they opened up new possibilities for maneuvers and experiences for surfers.''
Yo, Ciao Ciao SurfHive! Good morning, All good? :)
It's already October, and the ''never-ending'' pace of things continues to flow. Focous, lets try to be attentive to the opportunities and doors that open day by day. I'm going to share with you an artistic development in the area of audio visual and surfing.
Breathing to inspire
I started making digital arts involving multiple areas of my life, such as surfing, ballet, yoga, as well as in general fashion projects that I developed for Airdrop Culture and friends, about 10 years ago.
But let's say that at the beginning, simply the fact of taking photos, or filming from underwater was something extremely enriching for us, and it still is!
Bernardo Martins Xavier and Thiago Souza Coutinho are two professionals in the Surf and Audiovisual area who have been with me for years... there were countless sessions and images recorded for We Collective, Item Filmes and Airdrop Culture.
I remember our first projects, a nostalgic and persistent feeling comes when I remember the first steps. It's beautiful to see how we are evolving and continuing to invest in our artistic inclination.

There were years of development based on colors and possibilities in the world of surfing and culture. Today all friends are here in Brazil again after experiences in Europe, Oceania and around Brazil, to grow together and truly make history in Surf Religion.
Over time, a Gopro became a Sony Alpha with a custom handmade waterproof case.
The board that was an old stump became a customized, handmade asymmetrical board.
Some things have changed, others I believe will never change, as we work with something dynamic and concrete, which is nature.
Paradigm shift
While asymmetrical boards brought new energy to surfing, the Web3 movement is injecting new energy into the internet. Both are driving innovation, diversity and freedom, allowing individuals and communities to explore new territories and challenge the limitations imposed by traditional structures.
Asymmetrical boards revolutionized the surfing world by challenging closed conventions. With their innovative designs and intentional asymmetries, they opened up new possibilities for maneuvers and experiences for surfers. Likewise, the Web3 movement and the punk spirit are shaking up the centralized structures of the internet.
We've been drawing ourselves by hand on our boards for a long time. We develop our photographs manually, working in a photoshop that is meticulous to arrive at previously studied color combinations, so today it's really cool to see all this movement and expansion based on surfing and visual audio, and to see my images being an art with artificial intelligence as cool as this one presented in a sequence frame form.
The surf image was taken in Ubatuba, Brazil, starring João Parmagnani ''Zima ARDRP, Free Surfer / Artist / Co-Founder of Airdrop Culture'' with his Sweet Amnesia board with off-center fins in collaboration with digital artist Alexandre Lamborghini.
This unique NFT combines the essence of underground surfing with AI's cyber punk vision. It's like having a unique digital surfboard, capable of creating amazing experiences on virtual waves.
I also threw this link available on Zora Decenrtalized Surf ⌐◨-◨, you can find it at this link if you are interested in purchasing.
Space Drop / Decentralized Surf is a ''radiant'' NFT. In short, one of the first SURF images refashioned in an artificial intelligence artistic look.
This last art session was held at Construção's Beach Break, Vila Velha, after a Town-in session at D2 "Disposicao Dobrada" with an insane big rider friend from Slabs, Felipe Lacerda and Thiagao, without them this image would not exist. Aloha Guys.
It was the first time I surfed a Slab to the right with my Asymmetrical Sweet Amnesia model, that's when I saw that it was actually possible to do a more progressive surf as long as the fin combination was adequate.
Promoting decentralization, paradigm shift. As Above, so Below.
The movement is cyclical, has derivatives and readjustments according to the work system. Complexification in a harmonious way, making study and development a natural and beneficial habit based on one's artistic and professional inclination.
We don't follow a specific fashion
the fine line between essence and tendency is linked by an artistic intuitive discernment.
yes, there are great research and analysis standards,
but it is from the core that is created and recreated based on ''NADA"
we are SURFCORE
Our objects of study continue to be studied as well as undergoing a series of changes. That's why most of the time we choose to stick with what's essential, something cultural that has resisted and tends to resist. May surfing and unity endure until the end. Nothing great is created suddenly.
Sci-fi Hard with THG
LOVE & PEACE
I hope you liked the post guys. ALOHA!
