GrindTV: That Kai Neville is SO HOT right now! Maybe its my skinny jeans talking, but it seems that surfing has found its new king midas. His style reflects the youth, the newly dubbed “tail-high” generation, and if you dont like Kai Neville’s work, i have bad news for you. You’re old. High quality digital film, creative editing, electronic (yet eclectic) music, and the biggest airs ever seen by mankind, are Neville’s arsenal. After his acclaimed first release, Modern Collective, melted the faces off the hipster surf scene last year, Neville’s newest endeavor is Landscape Altered (click here to see the trailer). The purpose of this project was to win the Kustom Airstrike, a yearly contest awarding $50,000 for the craziest air landed and filmed. Last year it was Modern Collective Alumni Dusty Payne who took the prize for a massive air reverse in bali. This year, Kustom organized a crew of some of the most futuristic aerial pilots to go on an off-season Mentawai boat trip, which meant zero crowds and puntable on-shore winds. (onshore is the new offshore, duh) Invited to join this motley crew of malaria dodging space cowboys were Jay Davies, Chippa Wilson, Clay Marzo, Mitch Coleburn, and Josh Kerr. Neville was brought aboard to film the whole thing, and edit it into interweb-ready episodes for your convenient consumption. Here is EPISODE ONE.
