Erick and Ian Regnard – The creative twin brothers behind the name Tungsten, put together this saucy little video whilst messing around with the HD video capabilities of the Canon 7D. Oh, and they also sent us a few snapshots of the surf too!

Over the years you may have noticed many photos throughout the pages of Tracks credited with the name Tungsten. Not the work of just one man, but two – Twins Ian and Erick Regnard.

Born and Raised on the island paradise of Mauritius, the twins quickly developed a passion for the ocean and all it entails – a passion that led to them picking up their first camera to document the underwater world surrounding their home.

After migrating to Australia with their family in 1983, the twins have carved a long and distinguished career in photography. Producing some of the most respected and award winning surfing, portrait and lifestyle photography in the world.

That isn’t where the twin’s talents end however. They have an almost superhuman ability to talk beautiful women into posing for photos, often without a stitch of clothing on.

Armed with an infectious lust for life, and a deep, French inflected smooth talk that makes John Laws sound like Fran Drescher, you can understand why these poor women stand little chance against the twin’s charm. And now, with the digital age fusing both still photography and video capabilities into high end cameras, the girls were always going to be in trouble.

Below is a quick snippet of Erick’s work as he follows the lovely Kelly down to the water for a dip. Also included are a few of Erick’s snap shots from Hawaii. Enjoy.

Seven free surfers embark on a voyage to boldly go where no man had gone before.

Seven free surfers embarked on a voyage to boldly go where no man had gone before.

Not that long ago, in an island chain far, far away, seven free surfers embarked on a voyage to boldly go where no man had gone before. Equipped with an array of surfboards, a packet of crayons and two ukuleles, their chances of success were slim. In pursuit of perfection, they were forced to navigate under the radar of a fleet of imperial boat charters. Despite numerous obstacles, the rebel alliance of wave-riding beatniks continued to make Galactik Tracks into a new surfing cosmos; their search for a Nirvana reaching its climax when they arrived at… The Island of Nowhere.

STARRING: DAVE RASTOVICH

The film features the enigmatic and free-thinking Dave Rastovich at home on the Far North Coast of NSW.

Gathering is a short film from independent filmmaker Nathan Oldfield, the creator of the award-winning left of centre surf films Lines From a Poem, Seaworthy and The Heart & The Sea. The film features the enigmatic and free-thinking Dave Rastovich at home in the sacred playgrounds of the Far North Coast of New South Wales. The film explores Rastovich’s ideas around how the tension between the industrial and the natural in the surfing world unfolds in that place. Ultimately, Gathering celebrates how diversity and difference in ecosystems, relationships and surfing contribute to the preciousness of life. Gathering is easy on the eyes and ears and Tracks Magazine is proud to present it to you. Nathan Oldfield is a maverick, a filmmaker who wants a surf movie to say something important, to move us and make us grateful for the sea around us and the life within us. His films are quiet, beautiful and brimming with sacred purpose. Tim Winton, Acclaimed Australian Novelist
