WATCH: Kael Walsh in ‘Strung’

The WA powerhouse once again proves why his 'go for broke' attitude works for him in surfing and life.

Kael Walsh is the definition of ‘go big or go home’. Big tubes, big airs, big hacks, Kael is all round BIG energy. His upbringing in Yallingup, WA, surrounded by a plethora of heavy slabs, may have contributed to his ‘go for broke’ attitude. This mindset seems to carry across into anything the 26-year-old does. His latest project ‘Strung’ is once again evidence of his willingness to put in the time, effort and money to produce one of the best surf edits currently out there.

‘Strung’ was filmed over two and a half years at a total cost of close to $100,000 AUD. The 15 minute flick features strictly A++ clips from South Africa, Namibia, Indo, West Oz and P-Pass. In the current social media era of short attention spans and a constant demand for content, Kael is one of the few who is happy to dig his heels in and save his work for a long term goal.

Strung isn’t Kael’s first body of work which will have you making interjections at your computer screen. His previous edits ‘Idiot Box’ and ‘Soft serve’ have also featured the full throttle surfing we have become accustom to seeing from him.

So go and give the man his flowers. Hit the link above to check out his latest piece of work and tell him what you think about it.

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
