The Kill 2

Ratboy's section would be relevant going up against any surfing video today. His style is smoother, his airs more radical including the very first frontside 360 air, in which he spins all the way around. It was earth-shattering at the time. Pomer focuses his new and improved video camera not only on Santa Cruz surfers, but on some of the best surfers in the world outside of Santa Cruz. Spending the winter on the North Shore, he caught on film the amazing rides of Slater, Shane Dorian, and Kalani Robb.

Directed by Josh Pomer, The Kill 2 leans on a strong ensemble — Jason Ratboy Collins, Nate Acker, Shane Dorian — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1994.
