The intro to the best surf film of '14 has been uploaded to the 'net for your enjoyment. Attractive Distractions follows the usual narrative arc, taking "10 of the most progressive young surfers today on a journey from their hometowns to far off destinations", yet it's the performances that sparkle. Attractive Distractions is proof also that the modern freesurfer is a versatile character, capable of launching off 3' ramps as they are launching into 30' Peahi.

Soundtrack by Ben Howard.

Here's the wipeout as viewed by GoPro. Skip to 3 min mark, though the whole vid is good.
