Off Rip

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.

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.

Fantastic film. If you are a water sports adventurer & seeking your next thrill, this is the first film of its kind to highlight the Skim Boarding culture. A true path paver, this writer/director & lead actor are all the same amazing young man, Jadon Cal.

And it's pure heart, Jadon's vision brought life by the most talented team of folks in front of & behind the camera, in pre & post production. If you are looking for something to bring your senses alive, this film has it all-so much you will think you feel the ocean waves spray on your faces with the crisp footage. Thank you for highlighting the gorgeous Florida coast before the hurricanes of 2024.

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.

"OFF RIP," is a Film that will inspire anyone that ever had a dream, of achieving success in a sport that you personally wanted to attempt to play growing-up!

The story goes and shows and expresses most of the negativity that high school athletes/students are overwhelmed with and encumbered with, while navigating the growing pains of our youth.

"OFF RIP," is about a High School kid wants to help his mother pay the bills and keep the house for his younger brother, that they grew-up in. Using 'Skimboarding,' as the sport, Chris's character works tirelessly to win some tournaments to make some money working for it.

This Film is raw and real and filmed on the beaches of Pinellas County Florida, where the Hurricanes of 2024 destroyed the entire area, so this movie is also a time capsule of a sort.

It's funny and exciting and a blueprint for future sports film makers to abide by, if they want to make a successful film for all ages! And it's never too late to be inspired to do anything!
