fading west

I watched this film yesterday and really enjoyed it. Switchfoot is the band. I’d heard some of their music. Surfing….I’ve had a long standing interest in it and beach culture. The movie was a nice combination of the two….part travelogue/surf documentary….and part concert … Continue reading
