Video: Stop Motion Movie Catches Playmobil Toys Big Wave Surfing


It’s Friday. For the most part, it’s been an unseasonably cold April and you deserve a break. So for your enjoyment we present some harmless fun: this cool stop-motion film of a group of daring Playmobil big wave surfers charging some epic construction paper and cotton ball waves.

Filmed in parking lots, backyards and even some actual sandy beach, this little video is a feat of patience and suspension of disbelief. What’s great is that the video is clearly helmed by some experienced surfers, as a variety of waves, breaks and tubes are properly represented, as well as some larger than life almost North Shore-level waves.

Not to be forgotten, even some of the featured surfers are seen being towed in and picked up by personal watercraft, furthering exhibiting the commitment to realism. You gotta hand it to this group of filmmakers and their dedication to such a fun seemingly brainless flick. Of course, it’s said that true talent is making something look effortless, and these guys are showing a whole lot of talent.
