Groundbreaking Surf Film Features Daring Stories of Women United By The Sea

Huntington Beach, Calif.  (June 29, 2008)  Roxy and Villa Villa Cola
Productions are pleased to announce the official tour dates for Dear and
Yonder, the groundbreaking feature film by noted surf filmmakers Tiffany
Campbell and Andria Lessler for summer 2009.  Roxy, the title sponsor of the
film, has partnered with Surfing and Foam Magazines to bring Dear and Yonder
to over 20 cities in the U.S. with additional stops in Europe, Japan and
Australia, the tour will include special guest appearances from Roxy surfers
and an Art Show at select locations.  The film is dedicated to authentically
documenting a dynamic cast of ladies, both young and old from across the
globe.

³We are thrilled to be partnering with Tiffany and Andria for this
revolutionary project that shows women¹s surfing in the most authentic
setting,² said Randy Hild, EVP of Global Marketing, Roxy.  ³And with the
tour, the opportunity to bring this film to female surfers across the globe
is exciting and empowering for all involved.  Roxy has always been at the
forefront of women¹s surfing and Dear and Yonder takes it to an even higher
level.²

Documenting the most progressive surfing of today, Dear and Yonder follows
top professionals including Roxy team riders Sally Fitzgibbons, Sofia
Mulanovich and Kassia Meador, as they surf their home breaks (Dear) and
travel the world (Yonder).  In addition to chronicling today¹s surfers, Dear
and Yonder spreads its roots deeper and cultivates a sense of place and
knowledge of history, reaching back in time to unearth footage of iconic
surfers such as Linda Benson, Rell Sunn and Lisa Andersen.

³We are excited to take Dear and Yonder on tour and share these unique
stories of women connected by their love of the sea. Our hope is that each
viewer finds something in the film that inspires them and percolates
positively back into their communities and lineups.²

Shot by surf cinematographers Thomas Campbell, Sonny Miller, Scott Soens,
Dave Homcy and Tiffany Campbell. the film captures the authenticity of each
surfer¹s experience through imagery, music and art that reflect the vision
of the project.  Filmmakers Tiffany Campbell and Andria Lessler tie these
carefully crafted pieces together to tell a story that demonstrates the
inner spirit of the female surfer .  Dear and Yonder pays homage to the most
avant-garde female surfers of the past forty years, some who have enjoyed
the limelight and others that have only existed in quiet pockets, but have
pushed the boundaries and changed the face of the sport in their own way.

Kicking off at the Ron Jon Shop in Cocoa Beach, FL on June 19, the Dear and
Yonder tour will cross the country with more than 20 stops over three
months. Key tour highlights include the La Paloma Theater in Encinitas, CA
for the official Southern California premier with Roxy pro surfers including
Lisa Andersen, Kassia Meador, and Sofia Mulanovich, Biarritz France at the
Roxy Jam where major Roxy surfers including Kassia Meador and Jen Smith will
be in attendance, and Secret Project Robot and Mollusk Surf Shop in
Brooklyn, NY where Paper Magazine will host an Art Show and premier party.
Roxy professional longboarder Kassia Meador¹s latest art and photography
will be featured at the Brooklyn, NY,, San Francisco and Venice, CA tour
events.  For more information on the film and tour events visit
