QP homie Adam Dewolfe chimes in with his latest short, a look at Montreal filmmaker and skateboarder Jason Nardella over on Got Surf

Jason Nardella is a talented filmmaker from Montreal Canada who we first in the mexico while on a surf trip. Hearing his stories of home and Skateboarding down Mont-Royal, a steady sloped graveyard switch back of more or less smooth cement, we had to see it for our selves. Enjoy this small clip that takes us on ride with Jason, from a quick full on Montreal style breakfast at the Binerie to a cruise in his VW van and finally his favourite thing to do at Home. Slide. – Adam Dewolfe

PS: QP/Mexico is crouching and hidden up in The Peoples Republic of Brooklyn for a few weeks. We’ve been diligently sampling the late summer goodness of The Rockaways, who put on a good show for us this morning, in a foggy pre-Irene dawn patrol session. Hundreds of surfers, camera crew, freelance news photogs and bewildered NYC Police Officers.

Mark Twain said that there aren’t enough words in all the languages in the world to express the sorrow of losing a child. This is a short film I produced while grieving for my daughter, Willow, who was stillborn. – Nathan Oldfield
