Clip of the Day: Lost Atlas

When Taylor Steele released Momentum back in the early 90s, it ushered in a new era of high performance with the help of Slater, Dorian, Machado, Ross, Knox, and others. So it only seems appropriate that the next generation of high performance film making comes from a Steele protege, Kai Neville. When Kai released Modern Collective a couple years ago, it had the same criticism Momentum got- too many tricks and not enough old school. But the fact remains you can't slow down the progression of surfing and the 'tricks' in Modern Collective were amazing. It's one thing to do a 2' air in 2' HB, but some of the 6' airs Jordy, Dane, etc. do in 6' Indo were flat out scary. So on Modern Collective's heels comes Lost Atlas from Kai Neville this August (actually being premiered at the US Open if you want to be part of that mayhem). Starring Dion, Dayne, Dusty, Ando (Craig- not Greg), Jordy, John John, Mitch (Coleburn- not Thorson), Owen, Conner, Kolohe, Julian, Evan, Wade, Yadin, Chippa, Dillon, and Droid. Pretty much the who's who of the millennium. Even though Slater still kills it, I guess it's safe to say we'll never see another 'Momentum' type film starring Slaer, Kalani, Taylor, Rob, etc. The King is dead, long live the King.
