 California’s Scott Carter has been filming bodyboarding most of his life. Scotty has released several bodyboarding films like “The Inside” and “Enough Said”  that are considered to be some of the best bodyboarding videos ever made. Crave The Cave was his third major release and followup to The Inside. While it didn’t get the same adulation as his first 2 efforts “Crave the Cave” kept the kids wanting more with plenty of camera helmet action.Released in mid 90′s.

The Forgiven bodyboarding video was the work of Brian Stokes who was the cameraman behind the No Friends videos. This was Stokers own project using left over footage and it was a totally different style and attitude behind the vid than the more well known NF offerings. A born again Christian, Stoker used a thrash metal heavy punk style soundtrack. At the time the video was not a commercial success but it was  a personal statement about Brian’s views on life and the movie he says he always wanted to make.
