Its interesting making a film you can get yourself into some strange positions. Its also harder than it looks making a film all the little struggles seem bad at the time but there actually the fun times that you remember the most.
Tom and myself hiked this mountain but the scrub was way thicker than it looked and made it very hard to get the shots we wanted.

Ski Angles Are Epic
Thursday, April 8th, 2010
Follow footage is the best I love the angles that you can achieve. I am hoping there is one more day where I can get some crazy footage for Hiding from comfort. Filmer Chris Bryan did a fantastic job capturing these angles at a secret beach break hanging onto the ski with a death grip to ensure the best shots. Chris couldn’t walk for a day after this session.
HIDING FROM COMFORT

OFFICIAL TRAILER FOR HIDING FROM COMFORT.
“This is all I have been working on, This is the best I can do right now.” Mitchell Rawlins.
Now we are getting somewhere. Whatever it takes to get the shot. I’m never doing this again. I’m over it. This better work. Are you kidding me. Are you serious. I’m never doing this again. That was all time. F##king clouds piss off. No rest for the wicked. There was plenty of this kind of talk while making “Hiding From Comfort”. Now it all seems worth it & we are nearing the end of filming and getting ready to release the film in the coming months.
What everyone is saying about the film:
“From the opening scene it’s clear, Mitch and his team have set a new benchmark for all to aspire to with Hiding from Comfort. Good Luck getting anywhere close”. Phil Gallagher, Le Boogie magazine
“What do you get when you combine a constant keenness for creativity, a penchant for perfection and one of the best bodyboarders to ever slide the foam? A film that may just surpass all your conceivable expectations of what’s possible on a bodyboard. From what I’ve seen so far, Hiding From Comfort is set to be not only a film that you’ll want to watch over and over, but a true representation of where bodyboarding’s at in 2010. Rocky’s got all the angles covered, from unrivalled HD and film footage, to next level wave riding and mind-blowing board cam clips. He’s one hard working young man, so prepare to be blown away people”. Nick Lawrence, longest serving Riptide editor.
“Not only will this be the most amazing film for the sport, It’s focused on the worlds most talented bodyboarder. Straight to the top shelf! ” – Kiryn Clay, IBA Australasia.
“This is Mitch and his surfing the way he sees it and I think it takes it up a notch or two from what’s be done in the past”. James Wise, Filmer
” When I heard Mitch’s plans for this project I thought he was kidding himself then over the past few years the ideas have become reality & the end result is a film that will hopefully change the way people see bodyboarding.” Tom Hannam, filmer/editor
“Hot damn! Just when you thought the anticipation for Mitch’s vid couldn’t get any more feverish, he releases this trailer for Hiding From Comfort and sends us into an absolute frenzy. Amazing work Mitch, congrats!” Tim Leeson, Riptide Editor
“It’s inspiring to see Rocky put his heart, soul and wallet into really showcasing this thing that we all do. I’m amped.” Pete Moore, Editor Movement Magazine.

What to Expect
Saturday, January 9th, 2010
This is what I love most about our sport, it’s the ability to have the room to create whatever you want. Lately we have been working on 3 different films. (Artwork and trailers to be released soon) We have a great little team with myself, James Wise and Tom Hannam all working together; it’s an exciting time for us. We are looking forward to many days filming and editing, so we can bring you a film that will get you amped to get back in the water. That’s what it’s all about ladies and gentleman getting amped to go surfing.
