Yesterday Swellnet ran an interview with Shane Peel whose debut film, Snowsurf, is premiering in Australia this week. Peel moved to Hokkaido - from an Indonesian island no less - to document the burgeoning snowsurf movement. Snowsurf has many parallels with surf culture and some of the central figures are great surfers in their own right.

Shown among these photos - all taken by Katsuhide Fujio - are Gerry Lopez, Beau Young, and Taro Tamai.

Snowsurf is premiering tonight at 6pm in the Patagonia Sydney store, then:
25th September, Patagonia Torquay store 6pm
26th Café Byron 6pm (Shop1/ 58 Jonson St, Byron Bay)
