Mind Surfing: The Conner Coffin Story Trailer

Mind Surfing: The Conner Coffin Story Trailer

There are 110 miles of coastline on the Central Coast of California between Jalama and Rincon. It offers a bounty of setups: pointbreaks, the occasional reef, and plenty of kelpy, glassy conditions. It's here that we find Conner Coffin, one of the world's preeminent surfers. While charmed, Santa Barbara isn't the easiest place to become a professional surfer. But like Tom Curren and Bobby Martinez before him, Conner's a Rincon fixture with a career that's a product of undeniable talent, rather than some internalized desire to wear a jersey. “Being in Santa Barbara, you had to be humble, or you weren’t going to get to surf the good spots,” Conner says about his home. “There are so many good surfers and older guys that were gnarly. You can’t be this arrogant, little dick, because you aren't going to get any waves or respect. I always had this goal to be a pro surfer but then I always wanted to get along with everyone and respect the hierarchy here.” Mind Surfing is the latest original film from 805 Beer. The film highlights the people and waves that made Conner the surfer he is today. It also spotlights who Conner really is, beyond just a surfer with opportunities, success, and a breathtaking style that rests on a shelf labeled, “Iconic.” Directed by Keith Malloy (Fishpeople, Come Hell or High Water), it features interviews with Conner’s family and surfing legends like Shane Dorian, Lakey Peterson, Rosy Hodge, and more.

From capping leaking oil-wells to Styrofoam recycling and cleanup orders, HTO is a non- profit organization that fights for a cleaner Ocean for all. Heal the Ocean focuses on wastewater infrastructure  - sewers and septic systems - as well as Ocean dumping practices that have contributed to Ocean pollution. We are focused on Santa Barbara County, but our methods are now serving as a model for other coastal communities across the country.

Surfrider works to keep the oceans in Santa Barbara and the surrounding community clean by doing clean ups, working with restaurants to make them more sustainable, informing the community on how to be more environmentally friendly, weekly ocean water testing, and raising money for resources that make being environmentally friendly in Santa Barbara easier.

The Surf Happens Foundation raises funds to provide scholarships and free surf programs to deserving youngsters in partnership with Surf Happens Surf School. Improving lives by sharing the joy of surfing and inspiring ocean stewardship. We strive to build a natural connection to the sea for every person we teach - and we create the foundation for a healthy lifestyle. We believe human beings must be stewards of our environment and we our students to respect and protect our natural resources.
