What you may not know about Pedro Boonman is that he’s a
great guy who's always ready to work hard for other’s ideas (point in
case, ours) and play them naturally for the camera. So we thought what
would he be if he wasn’t a surfer… We´re sure that he would be a success
young man who built his fortune and fame around classic cars and
fashion. Don’t ask us why but we’re sure of it! He agreed, until he told
us that if that was the case he would probably fell a bit... dead,
'cause that life wouldn’t have surfing...
Lucky for us we've been working with him for some time now ‘cause
he’s in fact one of the best surfers in Portugal. The idea was to make a
core surf video and by that time his air game was his trademark. He was
working hard on the other sides of his surfing and we saw him became
one of the best tube riders in Portugal.
So, whenever places like Nazaré, Supertubos or his home beach break,
Carcavelos, were pumping perfect barrels he was there. Evolving and
having fun… He also started his approach to a hidden heavy secret
slab... Another story though… So, “surfwise”, we had it all: amazing
barrels, great air game and precise and power turns. He made the hard
part, we just made sure we had all the footage with all the angles:
land, drone, water, point of view (don´t be naughty on this one :)) -
special thanks to all the additional camera men.
Then we mixed up both ideas above, shake them, dropped a green olive and voilá, this short edit, Mr. Boonman, was made!
