Better than the typical showreel, Riley Edwards' best of 2022 clip retains enough continuity to feel like it was all filmed in one or two sessions.

Perhaps it was?

Also, some slick editing between waves gives the impression of succesive waves being ridden.

Perhaps they were?

Whether I have to suspend my disbelief or not, the one thing I do know is this four-minute clip is a wonderful ode to a time and a place, the Central Coast 2022, when the swells didn't stop and the sand gathered just right, making it a time capsule much as the song that accompanies it is.

Nice clip, great song choice.

Not sure about the sand though Stu. April saw the biggest sand blow out up here in living memory. That it occasionally gathered just right in a few spots was tempered by other places completely smashed and barely recovered all year.

It was a weird year.

That edit was cool as. You don’t see much footage from around there - underground, no nonsense surf community I’m guessing. Good on ya fellas

A little bit of magic. Music and surfing perfectly matched.

Agree entirely.
For me, it had 'the vibe'

Great to see Jughead still charging like he was 15 years ago.
