On this episode of Surf Stories, we’re joined by filmmaker and surfer Takuji Masuda, director of BUNKER77, which captured the wild, short-lived legend of Bunker Spreckels and Best Documentary - Feature (2017) at Florida Surf Film Festival. A lifelong student of surf history and culture, Takuji shares his story of emigrating from Japan to Canada and the U.S., making his mark and earning his spot at the Banzai Pipeline—stroking into bombs on a longboard, fully committed. If that phrase means anything to you as a listener, you’ll love his stories and journey as a filmmaker.
