With the anticipation leading into the release of his first feature film, BSC Team Rider Matt Lackey has certainly been living in Cloud Nine: and im not just talking about his daily job of keeping the tourists safe from any trouble in the water atop his Lifeguard Tower in Kirra(Matt has a very good set of eyes).
Instead he has recently found some old footage from a trip he did to the Philippines a few years back with the Nomad Team.

Few years ago I booked a ’round the world ticket with the Nomad team, with first stop being Cloud Nine in the Philippines.
For me it was a dream come true. I had a picture of Cloud Nine on my school book right back in primary school, and since then I’ve always wanted to surf the place. I needed to get it good. I couldn’t go there and not get waves, but on arrival hearing that there hadn’t been waves there in the past six weeks I was losing hope fast. The maps didn’t look promising either and after four days into the trip and not seeing a wave over 1-ft, I was starting to get worried.

I was cleaning out an old room when I came across a CD with “Philos-Matt” written on it. The thing was sitting in an old shoe box, and turns out it was bunch of footage a guy shot while on holidays there with his wife. I dumped it into Final Cut and threw a quick edit together for you. - Matt Lackey
