Another Day at the Office

Hard at Work - Aria Pourbozorgi scoping giants at
Pipeline, Hawaii

For most, a job involves a desk, a tie, claustrophobia and a 10 minute lunch break; for Aria Pourbozorgi, work is slightly different.

If he’s not surfing himself, Aria can be found all over the globe, camera equipped, with an ever-growing team of professional riders, in search of the rare opportunity to capture unique moments of beauty shared between a bodyboarder and a wave.

Noticing that most of the footage released nowadays strikes up a feeling of dejavu as it is mainly from one camera angle, Aria recognises the need to go against the grain by not only filming riders in fresh, unmapped locations, but also by capturing them from multiple angles with multiple cameras to fuel new dimensions and provide an whole new viewer experience.

“It seems that every kid out there has a video camera and it down shooting” he says, “I try and use new and exciting angles to help make the footage look different to the viewer”.

Together with a video camera and his magic touch, Aria plans to revolutionise the nature of bodyboarding films and, in doing so, shift the status of bodyboarding to unprecedented heights.

“The future looks pretty good [for bodyboarding], I have a new DVD in the works at the moment called ‘Upside Down’ which will be out early next year”.

For Aria, the future of bodyboarding looks bright at the end of the lense.

South Coast

I travelled down the south coast to blackrock on thursday to shoot for the DVD with Michael Novy and Jarrod Gibson.

We arrived on sunrise to have our spirits shattered as we saw a 1ft swell with 20 guys out, this however did not stop Ben Player from heading out to rip it to bits and Novy and Gibbo where soon out in the line up shredding. Other riders ripping where Piere,Glen Thurston and Jarred Housten!
The swell built and so did the level of riding here are a couple of frames from the day!
