Surf’s Up for Samsung and 72andSunny

By Keith Rose 


They had us at that cover of “Absolute Beginners.”

But check out the rest of this spot, entitled “Every Day is Day One” from 72andSunny Amsterdam and Samsung. Directed by Mark Malloy, this ode to all things surfing stars an even mix of seasoned pros like Kelly Slater and new surfers facing the waves for the very first time.

Created to promote Samsung’s sponsorship of the Association of Surfing Professionals World Tour, the campaign was filmed in Iceland, Fiji, India, and New York with each location channelling the peaceful yet powerful pull of the sea. We would have loved to have been a PA on the shoot (which couldn’t be better suited to a summer Friday).
