Wayne Lynch is a surfing icon who blazed individualistic pathways in both the performance and the lifestyle. Ascending during a time of great change and experimentation, Wayne took up the mantle personally, redefining what a surfboard should look like and how it should be ridden. Much of this innovation done outside of surfing's athletic or institutional complexes.
Wayne's life is almost as it was 40 years ago. He still shapes surfboards, still lives simply by the sea. Shot in 2011, filmmaker Cyrus Sutton provides a window into Lynch's life after suffering from a heart attack. Serious jeopardy to anyone's health, our surfing heroes included, can have a way of radically altering everything underneath the surface, appearances be damned.
With a nod to Jack McCoy's "Tubular Swells," "Another Day in the Life," is crafted with ultra-fine cinematography as well as a spare and modernist feel, showcasing glimpses of Lynch the idol while anchoring them in the reality of human mortality.
