Beyond Sight Movie Update February 2013
WOW! This second filming trip to the North Shore was incredibly blessed. We were joined by Magno who is Derekâs friend and mentor and he
is a pro-bodyboarder who was instrumental in training Derek in his quest to conquer pipeline.
Magno believed in Derek when nobody else did and he reminded me of the importance of having mentors and role models in our lives. Magno is really the true hero of Derekâs story. 11 Time world champion surfer
Kelly Slater was on the North Shore and joined us for 2 surf sessions at Pipeline. Derek was also joined by fellow Cobian Sandals Team Riders
Nikki Viesins,
TJ Barron, and
Nate Yeomans for a photo shoot. Throughout the week we had incredible wave conditions that allowed us to get virtually every shot we had on the list including filming Derek Rabelo getting barreled with
Mike Stewart (Legendary Bodyboarder) on a bodyboard together at Pipeline. Andrew Pereira from KITV4 News which is a Honolulu CNN affiliate news station had us film an interview that will hopefully be on CNN promoting the Beyond Sight movie soon. Surf contest announcer Dave Stanfield did some great voice overs for us, Derek Ho surfed Pipe with Derek Rabelo, Dominic Balli gave us a private concert, and to top the week off, Derek and
Sean Marin (One of our Filmer/Editors) were both baptized at Pipeline by
Pastor Luiz who is Derekâs pastor in Hawaii. Derek will be in San Diego February 27th - March 3rd for a few days of filming. In March we will be doing the final filming trip to Derekâs hometown in Brazil. We still need to raise $45,000 to finish the production of the Beyond Sight movie.
