Surf Movie Night - Big Wednesday

Surf Movie Night - Big Wednesday

Moment is honored to partner with South Tillamook Country Library to present the 1978 iconic surf movie, Big Wednesday. "Big Wednesday is a classic coming of age film set in the 60-70s California surf culture," explains Sally Moon, local surfer and the Tillamook County Library Assistant who is trying to make surf movie night a regular occurrence at the library.

Along with the movie, raffle tickets will be sold to benefit local waterman Gary Gregg. Gary is battling a rare form of brain cancer and therefore is unable to work his normal job as a surf instructor at Moment. Gary has not only been a prominent fixture in the Pacific City surfing community, but is a well-known and respected surfer throughout the Pacific Northwest. Teaching surfing and passing on the stoke, especially to kids, has brought Gary and the greater Pacific City community incredible value.

Raffle items include wetsuits from Quiksilver, Xcel, and O’Neill, Moment gear, Twist Wine Company, a treatment from local acupuncturist, Liz Vitale, and a gift certificate from Silas Wines.

The event will be held 7/23/19 at 6pm at the South Tillamook County Library in Pacific City.

Welcome to the team Justin Buford! Justin has been a part of the shop since we opened in 2010.

Surfing is who and what Justin is, it’s in his blood. 
It felt a lot like home, Ireland. I suppose in a bizarre way it is, as my ancestors planted their roots in county Sligo on the North West coast of the country in the early 1700's after immigrating from Scotland. Ireland has been at the top of my travel list since long before I found out there was surf there. I formed images in my head of what the landscape would look like from seeing pictures, videos and hearing stories of infamous rocky basalt point breaks and shallow heaving slabs. Every image I had crafted fell short in comparison to seeing it all in person for the first time.
Houdini was the ultimate escape artist of his time, and it’s pretty obvious that this was the reasoning behind the naming of the Firewire Houdini; a board built with large, powerful barrels in mind, as well as the act of disappearing into those barrels and then escaping while still standing. So will the Firewire Houdini have you escaping the best barrels of your life, or will you suffer the same fate as the namesake with a fatal punch in the gut when you paddle out into some bombing lineup?
