Watch: For The Love Of Late Drops And Dry Reef Tumbles

A full-length, all-Aussie tube cabal!

Got a semi-surfable patch of reef nearby and a sizable swell en route?

Chances are Brett Burcher is chilling at the local cafe, scouring wind maps while eating a turkey and cheese croissant, awaiting the perfect moment to descend on your resident slab and make it his personal bitch. 

From the British Isles to Australia’s every coast, Brett and his ravenous pals have been silently stuffing themselves in over-sized, under-hydrated caverns for the past 18 months. Cinematic evidence of their brazen efforts resides at the top of this page, as do a few stylish slips from Luke Hynd and Sean Mawson. We’d be remiss not to mention incomparable paddle chops of the Night King himself, Mr. Russell Bierke.

Engrained, a film by Burcher and Darcy Ward, is 20 minutes of surfing that you won’t regret watching.
