People always ask me if this is photoshopped. It happened during the first week of filming for Under the Sun at daybreak. Rasta and I would wake up before dawn everyday and head down to a little reef up the road during a small run of clean East swell. This morning I ran down the beach hoping to get some good b-roll of Rasta coming out of the trees when I noticed a small kangaroo hopping down the beach. I grabbed my Bolex and Hasselblad and ran down to water's edge. The little fella was startled by my sudden movement and hopped into the water a bit keep a safe distance. After that, Dave paddled out and got some real nice tubes. That was a good day. Photo: Cyrus Sutton.
