Shot on 8mm film in 1975, this vintage home movie captures two people enjoying a day at the seaside in Middletown, Pennsylvania. A young boy in a white swim cap and a man play in the waves, riding a surfboard as white-capped waves crash around them. The footage has a distinct purple color cast and grainy texture typical of Super 8 film, evoking a nostalgic, sun-drenched summer memory. The camera remains steady, focusing on their playful interaction with the ocean.
