drift, perspectives in surfing

Taylor Steele’s newest movie project is looking like the best kind of web 2.0 project. Innersection invites surfers the world over to submit 2-3 minute video sections to be judged for inclusion in a new high performance video.

The contest will be run in four “cycles” and five winners will be chosen from each batch of submissions.  In the end, all twenty clips will compete for the final spot in the final product, an honor that also comes with a $100k prize.  The winner will be selected by the community.

This is definitely the next evolution–it’s a fool-proof way to bring new talent out of the wood work, which in turn is the best way to push the progression of the sport.  To win this thing you’re going to need to have the best surfing, the best filming and the best editing, so round up a posse and get started.  The first cycle ends in March–you’ve got shredding to do!

• ●The contest runs in four Cycles.
