REEF MIXED TAPE: BOBBY VOLUME 1 NOMINATED FOR X-DANCE FILM FESTIVAL

The X-Dance Film Festival has selected Reef Mixed Tape: Bobby Volume 1 as a nominee and participant in the 2008 event. The film will screen in Salt Lake City, UT, January 19-23, 2008. The event will take place as the city buzzes with the Outdoor Retailer trade expo, Sundance Film Festival and peak of Utah’s snow season.

Mixed Tape is a ‘tell all’ story of 2006 ASP Rookie of the Year and currently ranked #10 WCT surfer, Bobby Martinez. The film took home the "Barrel of the Year" honor at the 2007 Surfer Poll Awards for a segment of Bobby Martinez surfing Kandui's in the Mentawai Islands, Indonesia.

Reef team riders Rob Machado, Mick Fanning, Ben Bourgeois, Brad Gerlach, Tonino Benson and many more incredible athletes are also featured surfing in exotic surf locations around the world.

“This is not your standard surf movie. Insane footage is taken to the next level with cutting edge graphics, editing and audio,” says Director, Pete Santa Maria. “This movie really shows how well rounded of a surfer Bobby is by taking viewers beyond his contest surfing.”
