The six part HBO documentary 100 Foot Wave is the story of big wave surfer Garrett McNamara, as he learns about the biggest waves in the world in Nazaré, Portugal. Then, with help from the town of Nazaré, he and his team set up a safety and support system and invite surfers to come from all over the world to surf. The series captures the amazing power of the ocean, and the passion of surfers chasing big waves and putting themselves at risk of serious injury and death. Surf and ocean cinematographer Mike Prickett was the perfect DP for 100 Foot Wave. Mike has decades of experience shooting in the water, following Garrett and many other big wave surfers around the world. He's shot documentaries Riding Giants, Step Into Liquid and the biopic Chasing Mavericks. As a kid growing up on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, Mike took advantage of living in a tourist spot. He had his own camera, took pictures of the tourists, developed and printed the pictures while they did glass bottom boat tours, and then sold the photos to them when they returned. He soon figured out how to take photos underwater with his camera in a water housing, then got a 16mm Bolex camera and started shooting movies. Mike learned how to surf and began filming the top surfers around the world, developing new and better camera systems as the technology progressed. On a shoot in Tahiti in 2012, Mike saved a diver who got caught in a current that pushed him down at least 220 feet underwater. As Mike swam back up with the diver, they began to run out of air and had to surface quickly. Mike got the bends, which has left his legs partially paralyzed. But he's kept right on shooting, developing different and exciting ways to further the technology of water cinematography. Mike says that even if you can't use your legs very well, it doesn't matter when you're out there. He's able to shoot from the cliffs, use remote controlled jet skis and drones, and fly in helicopters, ride jet skis or boats on the ocean. For 100 Foot Wave, Nazaré, Portugal presented some unique challenges as a location, because the waves are so big and the area gets so foggy. The surfers and the camera crew wait all year for the big waves to come to Nazaré by November and December, and they must be ready to go and shoot at a moment's notice. Shooting is a massive undertaking, with at least 15 camera people on the waves to catch the action. The crew caught the action with long lenses from the cliffs, the beach, and with waterproof drones, but when it was foggy, they needed to have people in the water. Mike and the team built a special remote controlled electric jet ski with a gimbal system that could be controlled by an operator from the cliffs- basically inventing a way to do smooth dolly shots on the water. Mike Prickett just won a Creative Arts Emmy for episode four of 100 Foot Wave. 100 Foot Wave is streaming on HBOMax.

In 1975 Robert Rube was in 5th grade and moved to Oahu where his dad was stationed in the United States Army.  Living in Hawaii during his adolescence Robert developed a relationship with the ocean and his surfboard that has been a consistent influence in his life. In 2004, while on a surf trip to Costa Rica, Robert was introduced to the concept of “Pura Vida.”  Directly translated as “pure life” or “simple life,” Pura Vida is better understood as way of life. A way of life that left such an impression on Robert that in 2005,  he and his business partner, long time NW surfer Al Krieger, opened Pura Vida Surf Shop in the small town of Philomath Oregon.  In 2016, Pura Vida Surf Shop moved costal and is now located in Otter Rock Oregon, just across the street from the stairs leading down one of Oregon's most popular central coast breaks.  Join me on episode 26, as I have the good fortune to sit down with Robert and hear the story behind the shop that exists to bring the spirit of Pura Vida to Oregon Surfing.  Thanks for your time Robert, the welcoming vibe that you and your staff create in Otter Rock is what it's all about.

They dig into the long history and mysterious location of the home before reviewing two of the most common theories surrounding the source of these reported attacks: a shape-shifting creature of Japanese folkloric origins known as the Kasha, and the angry spirit of a corpse buried in the backyard.
