During our trip to the North Shore filming my latest project, Mr(s) Pipeline, our team was honored to spend the afternoon with Erin Brooks @erinbrookssurf She spoke about how much the women are progressing with every heat at Pipeline - the clips here from Erin’s ‘25 Pipe Masters performance from @off_da_lip show exactly that. She also mentioned how @moana.17 Moana Jones Wong’s best waves at Pipe and @anthony_walsh_’s no-fear approach to coaching has provided big inspiration. Oh, and congrats Erin on the recent @surfer_magazine (nice one @jakehoward76)— we were so stoked for you! Award-winning director of @birthoftheendlesssummer, @curtisbirch is excited to announce a new documentary project coming in 2026.

When we set out to make 12 Miles North: The Nick Gabaldón Story, we were hoping for a strong showing but never could have imagined 15 years of staying power. It was an incredible honor to see 12 Miles North named to @theinertia’s “58 Best Surf Films of All Time” (No. 34) alongside iconic films like The Endless Summer—celebrating movies that “broke new ground and told stories never told before.” Born in 1927, Nick Gabáldon learned to surf at Santa Monica’s “Inkwell Beach.” Aspiring to surf Malibu’s legendary point break, Nick routinely paddled 12 miles north through open ocean, earning his place alongside pioneers like Buzzy Trent and Ricky Grigg. Tragically, in 1951, Nick lost his life surfing a historic hurricane swell at Malibu Pier. As ESPN noted: “Until now he has been lost to time. Thankfully, Richard Yelland and team have resurrected him.” Today, 12 Miles North artwork sits permanently in the Nike Hall of Legends, Nick Gabáldon Day is celebrated annually, and Inkwell Beach is a National Historic Site. As Buzzy Trent’s daughter, Anna Trent Moore, shared: “Not knowing the history of whatever it is that you hold dear...is like a drop of water not knowing it belongs to the sea.” This Webby Awards-winner for Best Sports Film stands on the shoulders of the Black surfing community & key partners: William Lamar, Black Surfing Association & Tony Corley, David Mesfin, Rick Blocker, Surfing Heritage and Culture Center, @alisonrosejefferson, @blacksurferscollective, @blackgirlssurf, @inkwellsurf, Remy Smith, Greg Rachal, & artist @peterspacekart. Big thanks to the Nike team led by Executive Producer Jason Cohn, without whom this project wouldn’t have been possible, and Associate Producer Greg Gorski.

When shooting our upcoming film, @mrspipeline , the name @paulson.randall came up a lot.

Now screening everywhere @birthoftheendlesssummer (link in bio). It’s the train-jumping, steamship-hopping adventures of Dick Metz, which reveals the untold story behind one of the most watched and beloved documentaries of all time: @brucebrownfilms The Endless Summer. Hailed by critics as “mandatory viewing” and a “beautiful film,” Birth of The Endless Summer follows Metz’s 1959-1961 vagabond travels as he retraces his original journey. His remarkable story and pivotal friendships with Bruce Brown & Hobie Alter not only inspired the greatest surf film ever made but also paved the way for modern surfing. The 5X festival winner, LA Press Club’s Sports Film of the Year, and 2025 Emmy nominee explores the unlikely journey that compelled Bruce Brown to make his iconic 1964 film, turning the search for “the perfect wave” into a global obsession. Carve out some time, settle in, and take a trip back to surfing’s beginnings: screening link in bio! @sessionthemag said: We’re honored to celebrate this special piece of surf history. Before surf films became a stream of clips on your phone, The Endless Summer changed how the world saw surfing, inspiring generations to chase waves far beyond their own backyards. #EndlessSummer #birthoftheendlesssummer #surfculture #emmys #SurfSpoT by @mrspipeline

A Pipeline mystery solved? This 60-year-old Surfboards Hawaii model, shaped by @dick_brewer, is transforming into a beautiful story for the @mrspipeline movie — coming in late ‘26 by filmmaker @curtisbirch An exclusive recreation of the Butch Van Artsdalen Pipeline board by @randy_rarick This rideable piece of history is now ready for coloring and glassing, and this fall, pro surfer and Pipe specialist  @m_pang will recreate Butch’s famous ride at Pipeline—the first barrel ride by the original “Mr Pipeline,” Butch Van Artsdalen, which was shot by @macfreefilms in 1963 and featured in their iconic “5 Summer Stories” film. Stay tuned for the next board update in the coming weeks! 🤙🏼 CREDITS Pipeline 🎥“Commit” Directed by @m_pang & Gabe Caswell Shot by @ippelfilms 🎥Randy Rarick Shaping Bay Courtesy of @marcus_ocean #banzaipipeline  #northshoreoahu #vintagesurfboard #surfboardrestoration #surfspot by @mrspipeline
Could a 60-year-old Pipeline mystery be solved? Either way, one @dick_brewer surfboard that started it all has a story to tell. As you’ll discover in our @mrspipeline film — coming in ‘27 from @curtisbirch , the award-winning filmmaker behind @birthoftheendlesssummer Who was the first “Mr Pipeline”—and just as important, what was he riding when he earned the nickname? Hint: it wasn’t a design from @mikehynsonsurfboards, Carl Ekstrom, or others, as some have claimed. Thank you @marcusocean for the article documenting our work with @randyrarick, who restored the @dick_brewer Surfboards Hawaii model that Butch Van Artsdalen allegedly rode that day. And the anticipation builds this winter, as @m_pang will have a go at riding the red Brewer at Pipe with @joeljitsu , representing @windanseasurfclub (Butch was an early team member), offering to give it a spin as well. Please check out Marcus’ meticulously researched and well-written piece (link in bio), and thanks for following @mrspipeline to keep updated on the film and board’s progress. The film, starring @moana.17, will launch at film festivals in fall of 2027. “Butch Van Artsdalen Pipeline Surfboard, Dick Brewer Surfboards Hawaii: In the winter of 1963, Butch Van Artsdalen rode the first documented barrel at Banzai Pipeline, less than two years after Phil Edwards semi-pioneered the North Shore break in @brucebrownfilms “Surfing Hollow Days”. The inaugural visit into the world’s most infamous pit was also captured on 16mm color motion picture stock by a similarly-named Bud Browne in “Gun Ho!”. The exploit was largely credited with surfing’s most paradoxical character being dubbed the very first Mr. Pipeline.” —@marcus_ocean by @mrspipeline
We had a blast speaking with @xococoho for the filming of @mrspipeline —and a good laugh when she admitted getting starstruck whenever she sees Owl Chapman in Foodland. 🦉🛒 Mr(s)Pipeline is a feature documentary — coming from award-winning filmmaker @curtisbirch in 2027–tracing the decades of the world’s most storied wave, from the original Mr. Pipeline, Butch Van Artsdalen, to the Queen of Pipeline, Moana Wong Jones @moana.17 Credits: Owl Chapman @brewerchapmansurfboards 📸 @artbrewer 🎥 @surffilmarchive Coco Ho 📸 @johnrespondek Backdoor (frame grab) @wsl by @mrspipeline

Grateful to spend a day this winter filming with @jackjohnson for our new film @mrspipeline —to learn about Jack’s relationship with the wave and how it pushed him towards a life of film and music. Not to mention, how he was inspired by surfers like Pipe Master and World Champ, @barton_lynch So cool to capture a conversation between Jack and his surfing hero, Barton, who—once he’d surrendered his hopes of winning a world title in 1988—found himself in the finals at Pipe on Jan 2, 1989 around the time Jack was at the peak of his Pipeline career. Barton’s win at Pipeline was a surprise to many and landed him the World Title. We shared the latest issue of @oceanmag.surf with Barton which featured the first barrel at Pipeline by none other than @windanseasurfclub Pipeline pioneer, Butch Ban Artsdalen, the first Mr Pipeline. Today the tradition continues at Pipeline as it represents a new frontier for a new era of chargers led by the Queen of Pipeline, Moana Wong Jones @moana.17 @mrspipeline is film coming in late 2026 by 2x Emmy-nominee @curtisbirch (and the filmmaker behind @birthoftheendlesssummer ), produced by @enich , and DP’d by @davehomcy Special thanks to @anthony_walsh_ @whoisjob @davehomcy @kuioyoung @liam__mcnamara @twakita59360 @bobhurley @mikestewart @healeywaterops @peterkingphoto @newearthproject @jakehoward76 and many more. 🎥 @jackjohnson ‘s “Surf Film Music” & @shauntomson ‘s “Bustin Down the Door” 📷 @surfer_magazine cover by @thomascampbellart with photos by @tomservaisjr and @toddglaser by @mrspipeline
