Separate Volume

It isn’t that strange, that no two surfers have the same exact approach to a wave. It is an extension of character and everyone is different. In the making of Separate Volume, the intention was to show how each member of the team is unique. A lot of our surfers have never been spotlighted or even seen outside of a magazine, so this was their chance to shine. The movie also delves deeper into surfers that you have seen hundreds of times but still know nothing about. Nathan Fletcher has voices in his head that make him travel the globe and surf to a different tune. In typical Hawaiian style, Dustin Barca had to fight for everyone’s respect and it is undeniable in his surfing. You will see Brent Dorrington, who at 17 has that natural surfing style that echoes a young Tom Curren. Chris Ward’s unbridled power and mix of wild abandon produces spontaneity in every aspect of his surfing and his life.

Sure we traveled to exotic locations around the world looking for world-class waves but that isn’t what Separate Volume is about. It’s about being different; it’s about surfing to your own Separate Volume.

Separate Volume World Premiere

Foothill Ranch, CA — April 6, 2006

Oakley premiered its first surf film, “Separate Volume” at the Headquarters in Foothill Ranch, Ca. The fiesta started with catered street tacos, margaritas, a mobile mariachi band and a sunset photo-op with a donkey. As the sun went down the stadium lights turned on for the pre-movie event of Mexican Lucha Libre Wrestling, like previewed in the new Jack Black film “Nacho Libre”. The crowd of 1000 people gathered around the ring to watch these guys beat the living crap out of each other. As the show ended, everyone flowed into the Oakley Lobby and into the Amphitheater to watch the main event unfold.

From gauging under the lip turns on 60 foot waves, by Nathan Fletcher, to Aaron Cormican’s rotation flips in 2 foot waves, the crowd witnessed the lifestyles of our Oakley surf athletes in top form. Directed by Matt Goodman and edited my Curt Morgan, the same editor of Oakley’s “The Community Project”. This duo added a different feel to surf films that are being made at the present time. Filmed in exotic locations around the world, on the best waves known to man and captured in 35 and 16mm footage. This project was given an artistic approach totally unique from anything out there, which created a timeless piece of art in motion.
