One California Day
There's a new surf movie on tour to help us get through the flat days (so far) of summer. One California Day features many of the left-coast's finest surfers including Chris, Keith and Dan Malloy, and Patagonia Cardiff store manager Devon Howard. The Surfer's Journal subscribers can get a taste of the Malloys' section in the movie by reading Jeff Johnson's article "Mar y Tierra" (Volume 16, No. 4). Co-directed by Jason Baffa (Single Fin Yellow) and Mark Jeremias (DRIVE), One California Day will be showing this Friday, August 10th at the La Paloma Theatre in Encinitas (get tickets early) and is due to be released on DVD sometime this fall.
Jason Baffa was kind enough to visit Ventura a few months ago and screen Single Fin Yellow under the stars for Patagonia employees and our friends and family. I'm really looking forward to watching One California Day, one day soon.

Looks like a terrific film. Wish I could make it out from the east coast for the 081007 showing. Looks like I'll have to wait until the DVD comes out this Fall.

SFY was such a unique and great surf film. Stoked on OCD.

Single Fin Yellow also had a great soundtrack. It was my introduction to The White Buffalo and I've been lucky enough to see him live a few times since. Powerful singer/songwriter:

I love it! So many outdoor films focus on just the adrenaline, or how big of a risk someone is willing to take. It just gets old. It's about capturing the stoke, the lifestyle, and living the dream. Oh, and Caaaaaalifornia Loooove!

I saw the movie at the Premiere in El Segundo. Loved it! Highly recommend to any californian surfer - and try to see it in a movie theatre, the picture quality deserves bigger and better than your flat TV screen.

Just got home from the San Diego premiere and I can honestly say One California Day is one of the finest surf films I've ever seen, as well as simply one of the most enjoyable pieces of art I have experienced. The flow, color palate, emotion, and quality of film making is a great example of the new evolution of 16 mm film making that we as a surf community have been privy to in the past few years.
Well done to all involved and thank you to the Cardiff Patagonia crew for putting on a great event.
