About:

 

Media info: Now Now is a production studio based on the tip of Africa. From big fish to small fish, waves and wild adventure, we specialise in editorial, commercial and documentary production inspired by the sea, but we venture inland from time to time too.

Our focus is Africa, where we've covered everything from Nigeria’s burgeoning surf scene, to boats made from repurposed plastic in Kenya and seal rescues in Namibia. Whatever the subject, we tell authentic stories that inform, entertain and inspire.

Surfing with a Penguin | Surf's Up for Real From sharks to seals to whales and everything in-between, Cape Town in South Africa is renowned for wildlife encounters in the water. But it’s rare for surfers to see a penguin, let alone share a few waves with one – until this little guy came along. (African Penguins are critically endangered. You can directly help efforts to save them by supporting organisations like SANCCOB) A short film by Now Now Media presented by Monster Energy in association with O’Neill Featuring Eli Beukes, Brendon Gibbens and others Produced by Alan van Gysen Written and Directed by Will Bendix Music: Track 1: Warfree World by Ebo Krdum Track 2: The Upper Reaches by Guy Buttery Track 3: Zuma by Amit Sagie Track 4: Lang La Ku Shona by Guy Buttery & The Bandura Express Marimba Ensemble

The secret story of Morocco’s ultimate wave | Le Jardin If you found the most perfect wave in the world, would you be able to keep it a secret? This is the story of Safi, a mythical wave on Morocco’s Atlantic Coast that was discovered by a small group of friends in the early 1980s. They swore each other to secrecy and surfed the wave alone for decades. But a secret this good is hard to keep. Alternately called Le Jardin (The Garden) or Ras Lafaa (The Head of the Snake), Safi is known today as one of the best surf spots in the world and has become famous for delivering endless barrels and bone-crushing wipeouts. But as the crowds grow and tensions rise, the wave’s future hangs in the balance. Join us as we turn back the clock and trace the roots of this incredible surf discovery, while reliving some of the best waves and biggest barrels ever documented below Safi’s towering cliffs. Along the way we explore the origins of Morocco’s unique surf culture and discover why Safi is one of the most challenging point breaks on the planet – and what it takes to ride it. Featuring: Ramzi Boukhiam, Matt Bromley, Eli Beukes, Ross Clarke-Jones, Laurent Mirramon, Mehdi Serghini, Henri Elgrichi and others. A film by Now Now Media presented by Monster Energy In Association with Oxbow and Jack Black’s Produced by Alan van Gysen and Amine Nader Executive Producers Ryan Franklin and Kazmira Krawchuk Written and Directed by Will Bendix Running time: 40 minutes
