TPZ072: The Arrowhead 135 and Adventure Filmmaking with Brenda Piekarski
TPZ037: Surfing North of the Sun with Jørn Nyseth Ranum
When Norwegian surfers Jørn Nyseth Ranum and Inge Wegge discovered an isolated bay on a remote, arctic island along the coast of Northern Norway, they wondered if it would be possible to spend 9 months of winter there, surfing the ice-cold waves rolling in from the Atlantic ocean. With only a few hand tools, they built a little cabin from the driftwood and other trash washing ashore. They also brought their cameras and filmed the entire adventure. Their award-winning movie Nordfor Sola or North of the Sun is a must see. You can learn more about it at facebook.com/nordforsola. Jørn Nyseth Ranum, welcome to The Pursuit Zone.
