Three Action Sports Mini-Docs To Help You Embrace September

Cajas, Ecuador

Right now, you may find yourself in the mountains or by the sea. Perhaps you’re packing away your swim trunks and summer gear and storing them away, lamenting the beautiful days past. You’re sad, and that’s understandable. Summer is over, right? Well, technically yes. The endless summer days with Coronas on the beach are coming to an end. The margaritas will get traded out for whiskey — something a little more robust as the weather changes. Depending on where you live, snow might be right around the corner. But none of that means anything has to change.

You can still be the adventurous, wild, free person you were this summer.

Let these action sports mini-docs cool you like the babbling brooks and cool mountainsides they showcase. Let the sweaty, muggy August afternoons fade in your memory. “Who needs ’em?” September’s here and it has its own allure.

These videos aren’t just here to shake loose some feels. They’re here to inspire. They’re here to help you remember that just because school is back in session and the days are getting a little shorter, the adventure doesn’t have to stop. The journey can continue. The show goes on.

River surfing is an option. Real surfing is an option. Afternoon river hikes are always an option. Bike rides — excellent choice. There’s no need to fret. Fall is here and it’s worth being excited about.

Max Lowe Media introduces us to a world few of us knew about, but alas, a world many of us should be getting into. Waves go flat? Ocean seems sharky? You’re 3,000 miles from the nearest swell? You may still be able to try out this whole surfing thing. On rivers.

This piece, winner of the REDirect surf-video contest, features unreal footage, 4K image quality, and child prodigy Noah Beschen. It’s not too autumnal, but it’s stunning.

Maybe the water isn’t your thing. That’s cool too. If that’s the case, this one’s for you. TGR has got your back.
