A Return To Old Fashioned Values: Jon Frank And Noa Deane

This is A Return To Old Fashioned Values. In a digital age when surfing imagery is visible to millions, moments after it happens, Stab wanted to remove convenience and glance in the rearview mirror at a time when film photography was king. But, we also wanted to contemporise a little. We partnered up with Bulleit American Whiskey to take legendary surf photog Jon Frank and contemporary surfer Noa Deane to G-Land, Indonesia, a place of the old world. They were allowed no digital cameras, no cellphones, no social media, no internet. Jon shot the whole trip on film, and the photos appeared in Stab issue 70. The exception to the no-digital rule is the clip you’ll watch above. The G-Land footage is shot by Tom Jennings, with additional footage and edit by Toby Cregan, cut to Red Coats by Mother and Son.
