With Wavelength Drive In Cinema showcasing the classic Brit surf feature Blue Juice 24-26th July 2020 on the clifftops of Watergate Bay, Paul Evans catches up with Sean Pertwee and director Carl Prechezer to reflect on the making of the movie.Sean, back in London after six years in NYC shooting Gotham, reveals how the film was the best project he's ever been involved in and the bonds he still has with the Cornish surf community in St Agnes that welcomed him and the crew 25 years ago.The 1995 film, Film4's first ever theatrical release, received a warm reception from the critics and provided a Brit counterpoint to Point Break (also showing at Wavelength's Drive In Cinema summer!)with a warm characterisation of the times, where Cool Britannia meets the Cornish surf scene in an entertaining rollick through British shred sensibilities at a time when king skins and Gary Abletts were as much a part of the scene as a banana rockered Fluid Juice (no relation) 6’3” x 17 3/4” with Nose Guard.Get your tickets here:https://shop.wavelengthmag.com/collections/drive-in-cinemaRunning time: 41m43sGet in touch: editor@wavelengthmag.comTwitter @wavelengthmagIG / FB @wavelengthsurfmag

Andy Martin

Paul Evans chats with Andy Martin, author of SURF, SWEAT &amp; TEARS: The Epic Life &amp; Mysterious Death of Edward George William Omar Deerhurst.Andy Martin may well be one of the cleverest people in surfing (podcast hosts included). A Cambridge University lecturer whose body of written work includes numerous books as well as surfing columns for The Times and The Independent, his latest book investigates the murky circumstances surrounding the 1996 death of his friend Viscount Ted Deerhurst, Britain's first ever professional surfer.Having been warned to stay away from a Waikiki stripper he'd fallen in love with known only as Lola, Deerhurst was found dead a short time later, while Andy was still on the North Shore. While the surf world has generally attributed a variety of causes of death, from drowning at Sunset to a heart attack in a hotel bathtub, Andy suspected foul play and returned to Hawaii to investigate.
