Last time we saw Brendon Gibbens he was showing us around his beautiful hometown of Kommetjie near Cape Town in South Africa, and tearing into the seemingly endless supply of surf on offer. As the life of a pro surfer goes, Brendon is now posted up in Southern California to make a name for himself in the States.

This video clip, filmed by David Lee Scales, represents a couple months of “work” for Brendon, as he sure wasn’t here for the waves and crowds.
