With 35mm-footage of pioneering river surfer Dieter "The Eater", german surf-pro Quirin Rohleder and international legends including Marc Occilupo, Ross Clark Jones and Layne Beachley, "Keep Surfing" is a delightful celebration of 360-airs, pop-shovits, kick-flips and hang-ten´s in the most unlikely of locations. besides it tells a story and characterises 4 diffrent freak-personalities who search for happiness. what they have in common is the passion for surfing.

NICK CARROLL about Keep Surfing:
"What a fascinating show you've made.
An unexpected microcosm full of all the same sorts of characters, with the same sorts of obsessions, that you'd find at any surf spot in the world."

NEW YORK TIMES:
"On a much lighter note Björn Richie Lob’s “Keep Surfing” is a look at a sports subculture — one that’s fascinating, frivolous or both — that should be an audience favorite. Mr. Lob hangs out with the river surfers of Munich, a politely bohemian bunch who drop in on the standing waves created when streams pass over rapids or through obstructed channels. It’s an oddly stately endeavor: the practitioners more or less surf in place, facing upstream and doing 360s and cutbacks across the face of the oncoming but stationary wave."
BJOERN RICHIE LOB an avid surfer himself has been a freelance director, photographer and cinematographer since 2000. Keep Surfing (2009) is particularly close to his heart, since he's devoted a great part of the past ten years to collecting the most gripping and powerful material for this surf epic at locations all over the world.
