Congratulations Vince Deur and the Great Lakes:
The Eastern Surf Magazine 4th Annual ESemmies Video Awards:
"Most Unique Presentation: Unsalted: A Great Lakes Experience.
After nearly dying in a storm-driven rip current at Lake Michigan's Whitefish Point, obsessive filmmaker Vince Deur set out on a 15-year long quest to expose the Great Lakes' stoked surfing culture and harsh environment in all its freezing, fickle, sedimentary glory. What resulted was his (finally) completed opus, Unsalted: A Great Lakes Experience. The only film of it's kind, ever- unique enough to drive OP's top pros to the Lakes to put their final, ripping brush strokes on the project. And groundbreaking enough to earn an eight-page feature in Surfer Magazine with a cover blurb reading "Must See Minnesota."
Best Cinematography: Unsalted
From super 8 to modern high-def digital, water footy to mountainside angles, carefully scripted interviews to the most eye-opening peripheral images we've ever seen in any production this year. Unsalted provides you with that cold, isolated experience you've been missing out in your quest to find a surf video with a distinctly different feel."
Congratulations Great Lakes surfer, Great Lakes film maker Vince Deur on receiving this public surf media award from the most respected surf publication on the East Coast. The Eastern Surfing Association Great Lakes District and the Wyldewood Surf Club congratulate you for the years of hard work and determination. Unsalted: A Great Lakes Experience is the bench mark that other Great Lakes film makers will have to try and come close to matching. In my opinion the images and footage are beautiful and stunning and being so honored to be part of your film will always be a high point in my life as a Great Lakes surfer. If any surfer wants a copy of this issue of Eastern Surf Magazine please contact me here and we will make arrangements to give you a copy. I cannot afford to mail these magazines at this time of my life but if you pay for the postage and the envelope I will mail you a copy. Otherwise look for me at the beach I always have ESM's for surfers.
It took you 15 years. You're a ground breaker and a classy Great Lakes surfer always. Shaka brother.
