A fantasy surf film starring Jaleesa and friends. You’ve never seen surfing vampires… until now.
Journey with us to the charmed waters of Fiji, where our friend Mikey February takes us to one of the world’s most iconic waves with SUN SONG, a mixed-media exploration of the cultural impact of surfing through film, music and art. Mikey brings us along with his crew, including some folks we know like Frankie Harrer, Kobe Hughes, James Kusitino, Lungi Slabb and Tosh Tudor, as they push the limits of creativity and style in tube riding.
She’s only 14, but none of this is new to her. Not collecting medals. Not making grown-ass pro athletes jealous. Not the “did you see that?!” surprised faces in the crowd at global competitions like the 2019 USASA national championships in Colorado and last year’s Stab High Japan.
