I’m a swim film festival fan, and I love this short film, this swimming video, Duct Tape Surfing, captured by Mark Tipple.
I am always on the lookout for great swim videos. If you have an interesting, funny or beautiful swimming-related video and/or animated short, please submit to Gold Medal Mel Stewart at swimswam to be featured. We appreciate all points of view on pools, lakes, rivers and oceans. Please include a little background on why you captured the video and the equipment you used (cameras, lens, editing software, etc.). Feel free to add your own story as well, 175 to 200 words works best.
From the Filmmaker:
18 years ago a slight lapse in concentration crushed Pascale’s dreams of surfing. With the help of a family friend and a roll of duct tape; she can now call herself a surfer.

Wow, that’s amazing!
We should all take a moment to reflect on the gifts that we have and how fragile our lives are.
On the subject of character WOW….what an inspiration.
Still got tears in my eyes. What an inspiring story…most of us will go through our life constantly complaining just about everything. It’s time to change, realize how much we all got and enjoy every moment, life is short.
