 Rob Beedie has been surfing for a long time. In 2012, the founder
of the Global Surf Network will be celebrating 50 years of wave riding activities. Beedie is also one of the first surf movie
enthusiasts. "I have been an advocate of surf films since showing my first one
to a packed house, in 1964, and continuing sharing the fun throughout the 70's, 80's, 90's on and on. I even lived through
the 'surf film is dead' era", says Beedie. In 2007, the Global Surf Network was born to bring the surf film
and the independent surf filmmakers to venues where movie experiences can be amplified. Also, the organization founded by
Rob believes there's a social side in surf films for stoking young and oldies. The Global Surf Network is putting up several surf film festivals
that promote the sport and boost new filmmaking careers. The Hatteras Island Surf Film Festival, the Ocracoke Island Surf
Film Festival, the Virginia Beach Surf Film Festival and the Outer Banks Surf Film Festival are some fine examples of surf
movie screening. The next festival will be in Hatteras Island, but if you want to
learn more about Beedie's work visit GSN's website at www.GlobalSurfNetwork.com . Meanwhile, in 2012, Rob might get a movie director filming a documentary
on his half-a-century passion for surfing.
