Working on “Point Break.”
I had the pleasure of working and surfing with Matt Archibald,
who doubled for Patrick Swayze, along with Derrick Doerner, the Hell Waterman who took the wipe outs at Waimea (for Bells beach close-out death set).
Brian Keauluana coordinated the water safety and
Don King
again did the outstanding water camera work. Brain and Don were teamed up again
years later to do their magic for Universal's "Blue Crush." I enjoyed
acting with Patrick Swayze, Keanue Reeves, James Legros and Bojesse Christopher.
We did a lot of experimental Tow-In surfing for the film, but my favorite moments
were again out at pipeline, with Hawaiian water patrol "blocking" for me
so that I could catch and ride perfect waves for the movie.

Director Kathrynn
Bigalow made an acton packed unique film that pushed the limits of the genre and
introduced Keanue Reeves as an action hero.
