Watch: Eithan Osborne in “Skinny Meat Head”


  • 12.30.2024

The crew over at Chapter 11 put out a feature length documentary surf film about Ventura’s Eithan Osborne. “We followed Eithan around the globe to document surf trips and the challenges of balancing free surfing with the ups-and-downs of qualifying for the WSL Championship tour,” explains the film’s director Dane Reynolds.

Why the title? Dane explains, “Matt and I were driving south from San Francisco when out of nowhere he said, ‘Eithan’s kinda, like, a… Skinny Meat Head.’ Not only was that funny, it was a brilliant description. Eithan’s got a lot of angst and muscle packed in that tiny little frame. Erratic and un-calculated, he’s full throttle at all times. It pours into his surfing. Gritty aggression always on the edge of going off the rails but sticking it more often than not.”
