Divinity of the Ordinary with Nathan Oldfield

A self-taught filmmaker, Nathan Oldfield has always embraced surfing's DIY culture—fixing dings at age 10 and shaping his own boards at 14. Photography and then video became his focus; he and friends would take turns, resisting the urge to leave the lens and paddle back out. Coupled with his teaching degree to pay the bills, making his evocative, beautiful films gave him an outlet to share his friends' stories and surfing. In this episode, we chat with Nathan about his beginnings of falling in love with the ocean, and it's surrounding imagery, the joys of passing on the stoke to his son, and the beauty of the everyday things in life.
