Off Rip

Fantastic film. If you are a water sports adventurer & seeking your next thrill, this is the first film of its kind to highlight the Skim Boarding culture. A true path paver, this writer/director & lead actor are all the same amazing young man, Jadon Cal.

And it's pure heart, Jadon's vision brought life by the most talented team of folks in front of & behind the camera, in pre & post production. If you are looking for something to bring your senses alive, this film has it all-so much you will think you feel the ocean waves spray on your faces with the crisp footage. Thank you for highlighting the gorgeous Florida coast before the hurricanes of 2024.

This movie made me tear up and get emotional at least three times all thanks to Jadon's incredible acting chops. There are so many funny lines and hilarious moments throughout the film. The intense moments had me gripping my seat. The cinematography really pulled me into the film with so many beautiful shots and imagery. The subject and themes are all relatable and I connected with so many of the characters and found myself rooting for them. This movie has a beautiful message and reminded me what's important in life. I was so impressed by the acting from the entire cast and I can't wait to see them all in future projects.

Hands down the most heart felt journey I've seen in a while, with sick Skim Boarding footage that has never been seen with such vibrant colors, cinematography & focus, energy & a musical score that brings you into the skim culture beautifully.

Skim boarding is an art form, done as a dance with the ocean waves in such a way that makes you feel like you are right there on the beach, with the sand in your toes & breathing in the salty air.

If you've never experienced skim boarding or if it's a part of your life, this will light you up in ways you didn't know were dark.

This is the heart of our hero's journey that keeps you engaged from the beginning.

"OFF RIP," is a Film that will inspire anyone that ever had a dream, of achieving success in a sport that you personally wanted to attempt to play growing-up!

The story goes and shows and expresses most of the negativity that high school athletes/students are overwhelmed with and encumbered with, while navigating the growing pains of our youth.

"OFF RIP," is about a High School kid wants to help his mother pay the bills and keep the house for his younger brother, that they grew-up in. Using 'Skimboarding,' as the sport, Chris's character works tirelessly to win some tournaments to make some money working for it.

This Film is raw and real and filmed on the beaches of Pinellas County Florida, where the Hurricanes of 2024 destroyed the entire area, so this movie is also a time capsule of a sort.

It's funny and exciting and a blueprint for future sports film makers to abide by, if they want to make a successful film for all ages! And it's never too late to be inspired to do anything!

Jadon is a good friend of mine and I went to initially support him. Wasn't looking forward to sitting through a cheesy skim boarding film to be honest(which was absolutely not)haha. As a surfer I do respect all water sports and skimming is definitely not easy. I wanted to support Jadon anyway I can. I was very surprised the movie had a deeper meaning to it. It was really good!! Pulled some heart strings and even shed a few tears. Dog town and z boys but skim boarding. The core of the movie was about family and overcoming challenges. Never losing heart and standing up for what's right. I loved it and will be recommending the movie to friends and family. The producers, cast, and crew were all incredible and it was really great meeting everyone at the premiere. Very talented and genuine individuals.
