New Surf Film of Karina Rozunko

New surf film of Karina Rozunko for The Surfer's Journal

Recently, I filmed some surf videos of Karina Rozunko for a project she had for The Surfer’s Journal. Stoked to finally share the new surf film of Karina Rozunko for TSJ. Well-known Vans team rider from California, Karina’s distinguished style and graceful mastery of the waves have earned her global recognition. In this new short film, directed by Cole Walton, she invites us on a journey through her unique perspective, blending artistry and grace in perfect harmony.

The author Kyle DeNuccio writes in TSJ 33.2 issue: “Most of her surfing contemporaries seem focused on paring their style down to minimalism, bordering on conservatism, with no movement wasted. Rozunko seems to approach waves without letting the traditional surf-style rubric weigh too heavily in her mind.”

“I like being out of control, and I really don’t even want to think about what I’m doing,” Karina says in the article. “I always love trying new things, and I don’t want to be in this box where I’m just hanging 10. That’s so boring to me.”

Watch Rozunko’s applied approach in the short film above. For the print profile, read TSJ 33.2’s “Throw Your Hands Up.” Get your copy here.
