In Isla Vista, surfing is more than just a sport — it’s a way of life that creates community, connection, and a deep relationship with the ocean. This documentary dives into the town’s unique surf culture, exploring how it shapes identities, builds friendships, and inspires a shared commitment to protecting the waves at Deveraux for future generations.

The Salt on Our Skin
Lineage: The Ocean's Gift to Koz McRae
Between Here and Home
Producer, Camera Operator, Sound Designer, and Mixer.
The ebb and flow of waves has consistently been a source of energy for ocean communities and cultures. For time immemorial, the rich coastal environment has brought a diversity of people and nature. It has been a place of joy, gathering, and reflection. However, local barriers have deterred or prevented the gathering of many groups in Southern California. The Salt on Our Skin explores parallel connections of several communities on our coast while they own and reclaim their narrative to carve a space across the channel, onshore, or in the deep sea

More than a surfer and shaper, Koz McRae is a father and son, whose upbringing makes him recognize the value of having the ocean in his kid's lives. Being a sacred space for him he hopes to ensure that both his loved ones and the ones that he does not know are able to enjoy and experience the ocean in the way that he has been fortunate to. Through experience and crafting custom surfboards, Koz translates his appreciation for the ocean into art.
