For the last several months, I have been lamenting the loss of the full length surf film. It was a slow, quiet death... but the instant gratification of social media has cut the legs out from under what was once the heartbeat of surf culture.

I googled where to stream Chris Malloy and Jack Johnson's co-directed, 2000-flick Thicker Than Water, and unsurprisingly, the full film is available on YouTube. I still have the DVD in the drawer of our TV cabinet at home. Pretty sure I have the soundtrack on CD somewhere too. In the early 2000's, I bought every Malloy/Johnson/Moonshine/Brushfire film and record that came out. Listen, I get that in 2020 we're far too jaded for JJ Casual, but twenty years ago this film was like lighter fluid for my developing passion for surfing.
Upon a rewatch all these years later, the board actually seems a little clunky and has an unusual amount of nose rocker. It's a great reminder of how far things have come in surfboard design in the last twenty years that the green singlefin was so unique and memorable at the time. Nowadays, you'd see eight boards more interesting than that just walking from your car to the waves. In the late 90's and early 00's, we were at the peak of the shortboard era, anything longer was either a "fun board" for learning or a "high-performance longboard".
Johnson's first album was the result of his primary hobbies, film-making and surfing. He used his songs in his personal surf videos, and released a soundtrack accompanying his film Thicker Than Water. His first commercial record was Brushfire Fairytales, and the highest selling of his albums is In Between Dreams. All of Johnson's albums have been released through his personal record label, Brushfire Records.

Abstract:Most inorganic material surfaces exposed to ambient air can adsorb water, and hydrogen bonding interactions among adsorbed water molecules vary depending on, not only intrinsic properties of material surfaces, but also extrinsic working conditions. When dimensions of solid objects shrink to micro- and nano-scales, the ratio of surface area to volume increases greatly and the contribution of water condensation on interfacial forces, such as adhesion (Fa) and friction (Ft), becomes significant. This paper reviews the structural evolution of the adsorbed water layer on solid surfaces and its effect on Fa and Ft at nanoasperity contact for sphere-on-flat geometry. The details of the underlying mechanisms governing water adsorption behaviors vary depending on the atomic structure of the substrate, surface hydrophilicity and atmospheric conditions. The solid surfaces reviewed in this paper include metal/metallic oxides, silicon/silicon oxides, fluorides, and two-dimensional materials. The mechanism by which water condensation influences Fa is discussed based on the competition among capillary force, van der Waals force and the rupture force of solid-like water bridge. The condensed meniscus and the molecular configuration of the water bridge are influenced by surface roughness, surface hydrophilicity, temperature, sliding velocity, which in turn affect the kinetics of water condensation and interfacial Ft. Taking the effects of the thickness and structure of adsorbed water into account is important to obtain a full understanding of the interfacial forces at nanoasperity contact under ambient conditions.Keywords: water adsorption; water condensation; molecular configuration; adhesion force; friction force
The Endless SummerThats the name of the most famous surfing documentary ever made (1966). The film follows two surfers from Southern California in their trek around the world in search of the perfect wave. They go to Cape Town, South Africa; Tahiti; and Oahu, Hawaii, among other places. Other surfing documentaries include:

To create high quality ALD coatings on 3D objects, slowing down the ALD process is critical to ensure proper precursor exposure. Non-ideal deposition of organo-oxy-metallic compounds can occur with fast deposition rates that do not allow sufficient flow around 3D objects. The coatings can be removed by dissolving the Al2O3 ALD films in aqueous NaOH. Thicker ALD films prevent defects from occurring on non-ideal surfaces and effectively prevent silver objects from tarnishing under ambient aging conditions.
The limitations of nitrocellulose coatings may potentially be avoided by instead coating silver objects with atomic layer deposited (ALD) metal oxide thin films. ALD diffusion barriers have been successfully used to protect new silver jewelry and silver coins from tarnishing [16]. Conformal, dense metal oxide thin films deposited with ALD on non-mixed media silver and silver alloy art objects meet the cultural heritage conservation requirements of being more effective than current protection methods, reversible without significant substrate alteration, and optically transparent [17, 18].
In the results presented in this section, we test the ability of ALD films to coat realistic 3D art objects, using a set of historic cast and surface chased sterling silver knives from a personal collection as an example. The knives were polished and ultrasonically cleaned in a series of solvents prior to deposition of 10 and 100 nm thick Al2O3 ALD films at 100 C. A schematic of the chamber is shown in Fig. 2a. An important issue is how to maintain adequate flow around mechanical supports that are required for complete coating of all object surfaces. The knives were supported by two points of contact, one at the handle in a high point in the decorative details and the other at the blade tip where it rested on the ALD chamber floor, Fig. 2b. To mitigate restricted flow issues the knives were flipped half way through each ALD process, the stamped side of the knife blade always faced the ALD chamber floor during the first deposition (Side B) and facing the ALD chamber lid during the second, Fig. 2b. Trimethylaluminum (TMA) and water were used to deposit Al2O3 ALD films. The precursors were alternately pulsed into the ALD chamber one at a time, with a nitrogen purge in between precursors to evacuate the chamber. The precursor pulse and nitrogen purge times during deposition were varied at constant flow rates to determine the minimum values for achieving uniform ALD coatings. The precursor pulse times were varied from 0.5 to 2 s and the nitrogen purge times were varied from 1 to 4 s. The lower limit in each case corresponds to the amount of time required to deliver sufficient precursor to the silver surface, and sufficient nitrogen to purge unreacted precursor, to produce uniform ALD coatings on flat substrates. Appropriate precursor pulse times are dependent on the ALD chamber dimensions and must be determined for each ALD chamber. Figure 3 shows photographic images of: (a) a bare knife with no coating (top), (b) a knife coated with 100 nm of Al2O3 ALD using a 0.5 s pulse and a 1 s purge (middle) and (c) a knife coated with 140 nm Al2O3 ALD using a 1 s pulse and a 4 s purge (bottom). Hazy regions, areas where the film appeared white and nearly opaque, for example, near the tip of the knife (as indicated by the right circle in Fig. 3b), were observed on the knife coated with the shorter of 0.5 s pulse/1 s purge times (Fig. 3b). Both sides of this knife blade exhibited haze, with a large hazy region on Side B, which faced the chamber floor during the first half of the ALD film process. The opposite side of the knives (Side A) looked similar to Side B for the knives shown in Fig. 3a, c and are not pictured, while the knife in Fig. 3b exhibited fewer hazy regions on its Side A and is also not shown. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopic (EDS) analysis were conducted in the circled areas in Fig. 3b and showed that both the hazy and clear regions of the knife contained aluminum, as summarized in leftmost columns of Table 1. This indicates that an Al2O3 coating had deposited across the entire knife. 2ff7e9595c
