Interview with Travis Rice on “The Fourth Phase.”

Last week, I got a one-on-one interview with Travis Rice in LA, on the day of the premiere of his latest film “The Fourth Phase.” I hesitate to call this a “snowboard” film because it’s so much more. Rice and crew studied, followed, and rode the hydrological cycle of the North Pacific for four years. It’s not just an action sports film – it documents the place where riding, science, and philosophy all meet. And there’s so much more than that.

Two things:

This film is excellent.

In addition to being a snowboard pioneer, Travis Rice is a very bright dude.

I live on Long Beach Island, in the great state of New Jersey.… like, year round. Winters can be a little rough, long stretches of frozen desolation. But then there are those surreal days of soft snowfall and empty waves. Summers are crazy hectic. As the Island swells to capacity we all have to put our heads down to make coin, but our friends are all around, the island is green and the water’s blue. Of course, in between those are the blissful days when the garden is exploding and someone drops off fresh striped bass, chasing snowy barrels in the winter or blue claw crabs with my kid in the summer.
