Fusion… coming soon

October 01, 2009 | Words By: Chris P

stood-wave-background-brimsA new British surf film is in the making.

Ross Johns was half the team that produced the critically acclaimed Brit longboard flick “State of Play”. Since finishing that project he’s been hard at work on his own film, titled ‘Fusion’ and promising to feature a veritable smorgesbord of high level surfing on long and shortboards.

Ross has spent a lot of time sleeping in his car, clocking up the miles up and down the southwest, the northeast and even to a few slabs in Scotland (see the opening picture).

No official release date yet but keep your eyes peeled, it’ll be worth the wait when it’s done!
