Connected as Al Hicks (711 friends)
Al and Ad grew up surfing together and have been best friends since high school. What started as a conversation in the surf back in Australia, in 2009, about the possibility of shooting a documentary has since turned into a professional filmmaking partnership.
At the age of 18, Al accepted a scholarship to study drumming at the prestigious William Paterson University Jazz Program in New Jersey, where he also joined the great Clark Terry’s youth ensemble. After receiving his college degree in music, he has since studied African rhythms in Senegal, and toured the US, Europe, and Australia with various bands.
Also at the age of 18, Ad began his career in photography by traveling the world capturing images of perfect surf locations. He started off taking 35mm stills but soon moved to shooting film for major surf movies and international surf magazines. For over 11 years, his career has led him to shoot footage in locations such as New York, Australia, Philippines, Indonesia, Canary Islands, Mexico, California, Brazil, Chile, Tahiti and Africa.
