Idiosyncrasies at The Amstel Surfilm Festibal

May 09, 2010 | Words By: Niega

harborbillopenerPatrick Trefz, who left us speechless a couple of years ago with Thread, is now presenting us with stills of his latest project: Idiosyncrasies.

Patrick has his own particular vision of the surfing world through the unique characters he portrays. While some are more famous than others, they all have in common that they shine in obscurity far from the mainstream surf media limelight. But that is no obstacle and their stories have a profound impact on us all nevertheless.

    Seeing as I’m terribly fond of the word “idiosyncrasies”, it’s already a win for me, especially if these preceding photographs are a tell-tale sign, cinematography should be quite swell.

    Viva!
