Seeing the forest from the trees is cool but have you ever tried stuffing your cakehole with a fistful of mushies and going for a surf?  

Otherworldly melt. 

Based on the relatable, blue-sky candor of his email, I reckon filmmaker Ian Tavares knows what I’m talking about: 

“Me and Mateus just came up with a new little clip of a couple of surfs at lowers on his youtube channel. To try and make it less boring, I put it together in the form of an 8 bit video game concept. I mean, his surfing is obviously the opposite of boring, but we know how a Trestles edit can sound.” 

You da dawg, Ian. Good on you for trying to make a Trestles edit a little less boring. 

Here’s Mateus Herdy in a visually-intense wetsuit approaching Trestles with some respectable objectives in mind. 

Hang this in a museum.
