You’ve Got Mail From Dylan Moffat

It’s probably not in your best SEO interests to title your edit SPAM.

The term gained its digital meaning thanks to a Monty Python sketch in the 70s. Set in a café, the word “spam” was repeated over and over until it took over the entire conversation.

While the title credits appropriate the visual language of a certain brand of tinned spiced ham, the real spam comes in the form of Dylan Moffat’s relentless backhand wafts, and not just. Over eleven minutes, the North Narrabeen regular footer floods your ocular inbox well beyond capacity.

Shot all over the world between Challenger Series events, where Dyl finished 51st in 2025, Spam is a comprehensive summary of what he’s been up to when not dressed in contest garms.

“I always wanted to put something together that I was proud of,” he says, “but my main focus was competing.”

“I’ve basically been sitting on footage for four years,” he continues. “I didn’t plan on making an edit. I was just passively filming around events and at home anytime the waves were fun and stashing anything half decent on a hard drive.”

“I was flopping on the Challenger Series at the time and started to feel frustrated towards surfing bad waves and losing,” he says. “Travelling to places I hadn’t been before with friends became an outlet, a release for competitive angst.”

He cites Liam O’Brien’s output as an influence. Along with Sophie McCulloch, they went to Chile after the Saquarema event.

“His work ethic is unbelievable,” Dylan says. “And he’s got that can-do attitude whether it’s comps or clips. Plus he knows how to actually edit the stuff.”

“I’m quite critical of my own surfing and the way it looks,” he says. “That’s why I decided to edit it myself.”

Spending hours watching yourself from every conceivable angle is a peculiar form of self-scrutiny, but still, he says, “I really enjoyed the process.”

“It’s definitely not to the level of some of the edits you see on the internet these days,” he adds.

His words, not ours.
