Spirit Of Akasha is a brand new Australian film created in honour of Albert Falzon’s surfing classic Morning Of The Earth, which is 40 years old this year. Reaffirming Falzon’s original ethos of surfing’s soul and spirit in a present-day context, Spirit Of Akasha blends the realms of wave-riding, music and filmmaking. Directed by noted local Andrew Kidman and mentored by Falzon himself, the new movie will premiere at Sydney Festival on Saturday January 25. The soundtrack – released this Friday January 24 – is as important as the film itself and features musicians with strong ties to the surfing community: Brian Wilson, Atoms For Peace, Xavier Rudd and Matt Corby to name but a few. We’ve got ten copies of the album to giveaway – for the chance to win, head to the comments below and tell us your favourite surf song of all time.
