Off Rip

Hands down the most heart felt journey I've seen in a while, with sick Skim Boarding footage that has never been seen with such vibrant colors, cinematography & focus, energy & a musical score that brings you into the skim culture beautifully.

Skim boarding is an art form, done as a dance with the ocean waves in such a way that makes you feel like you are right there on the beach, with the sand in your toes & breathing in the salty air.

If you've never experienced skim boarding or if it's a part of your life, this will light you up in ways you didn't know were dark.

This is the heart of our hero's journey that keeps you engaged from the beginning.

For a young filmmaker to write, direct, edit and star in his own film at such a young age with a small budget is an incredible feat. Jadon Cal is a promising talent and filmmaker.

This film has loads of heart and some great performances. I believe the actor who played Brent, David Hamzik, is a future great. Every scene he is in is so alive. You can't take your eyes off him.

You can't help but feel for the main character, Chris, who seems to be living in a deteriorating world. He is losing people to drugs, but his love for skim boarding and protecting his little brother gives him purpose.

The film does a great job settling into itself and transporting you to this little Florida town.

This film takes turns where you don't expect while simultaneously introducing you to a new art - skim! Where most sports dramas follow the tried and true path of commercial sports like football, tennis and golf - Off Rip takes a bold step of faith highlighting the niche' sport and culture of Skim Boarding. The story eases you into the Floridian culture and you witness fantastic and gritty performances throughout the entire cast.

An encapsulating experience that shows the real struggles faced when striving for your dreams while 'life' come at you from all different angles and it's hard to make sense of. Beautifully cast, written, shot, and produced. The team should be proud of this piece!

Jadon is a good friend of mine and I went to initially support him. Wasn't looking forward to sitting through a cheesy skim boarding film to be honest(which was absolutely not)haha. As a surfer I do respect all water sports and skimming is definitely not easy. I wanted to support Jadon anyway I can. I was very surprised the movie had a deeper meaning to it. It was really good!! Pulled some heart strings and even shed a few tears. Dog town and z boys but skim boarding. The core of the movie was about family and overcoming challenges. Never losing heart and standing up for what's right. I loved it and will be recommending the movie to friends and family. The producers, cast, and crew were all incredible and it was really great meeting everyone at the premiere. Very talented and genuine individuals.

This movie made me tear up and get emotional at least three times all thanks to Jadon's incredible acting chops. There are so many funny lines and hilarious moments throughout the film. The intense moments had me gripping my seat. The cinematography really pulled me into the film with so many beautiful shots and imagery. The subject and themes are all relatable and I connected with so many of the characters and found myself rooting for them. This movie has a beautiful message and reminded me what's important in life. I was so impressed by the acting from the entire cast and I can't wait to see them all in future projects.
