The good folks over at Vans have just dropped the trailer for their first ever surf film Get-N-Classic Volume 1. The accomplices are as follows: Joel Tudor, Nathan Fletcher, Pat, Tanner and Dane Gudauskas, John, Ivan and Nathan Florence, Dylan Graves, Alex Knost, Andrew Doheny, Kalani Chapman and Jason "Ratboy" Collins. The trailer is pretty amazing, can't wait to see the whole enchilada. It's gonna be available for download August 8th.

Tanner Gudauskas entered the 6-Star Prime O'Neill World Cup ranked 16th on the WQS, one slot removed from the qualification cutoff. In order for the Californian to join his brother Patrick in making the leap onto next year's ASP World Tour, he needed at least quarterfinal berth at Sunset. And during the round of 32 on Thursday, Patrick and Dane were doing a lot more than cheer leading for their brother. They were in the heat that decided Tanner's fate.

The Gudauskas brother trio has been performing well at Sunset through the early rounds. So well, in fact, that all three advanced into the same heat in the Round of 32 along with Hawaii's Mason Ho, who knows a thing or two about surfing families. It was the first time in ASP history three brothers were in the same heat, and it couldn't have happened at a better time with Tanner only needing to finish 3rd place or better in the heat to secure his spot on the ASP World Tour. Naturally, they did what any good brothers would. .

Patrick decided to go left at the famous righthander, and in Thursday's unruly conditions, he was promptly caught inside the Sunset washing machine for the majority of the heat--woops! Dane, meanwhile, put in a little more effort since he needs the points, but it was clear that Tanner was getting first pick of whatever was coming their way.

"We were saying before the heat that we haven't had each other all together in one heat since we were amateurs, like five or six years ago," said Patrick. "And, to have it for Tanner to be the biggest heat of his life, he's just been ripping so hard all day, we were just out there hooting for him because we just wanted him to get through it and
go the distance.

"We didn't have a strategy going into the heat, but we wanted Tanner to get through for sure. It was definitely the priority and you don't have too many opportunities to help out someone in that situation. Surfing with him next year will be a dream come true."
