I Start Counting (1970)
Mixing a daring coming-of-age narrative with a sleazy murder mystery, the British thriller I Start Counting (1970) represents an unusual amalgamation of genres. Featuring an early role for Jenny Agutter, in the same year as her breakthrough in The Railway Children, it concerns Wynne, a Catholic schoolgirl living in Bracknell whose life is beginning to get complicated. Aside from harbouring sadness over the move from her old cottage to a modern flat, she’s grappling with a mixture of guilt, curiosity and uncertainty over her feelings for her much older, adoptive brother George (Bryan Marshall).

A few days ago, Mason Ho posted a quick little ditty onto his YouTube channel. It was Mason Ho at his finest: surfing that strange wedge of weirdness in Newport with a bunch of other insanely talented surfers. Mason Ho surfing the Wedge is something everyone should witness in person at least once in their life, but if that’s not possible, viewing it through your screen will have to suffice.
A few days after Mason released his edit, the fine folks over at Beefs T.V. who are on just about every Wedge swell that roars through posted their take on the day. It’s a far more thorough look at a day of surfing that isn’t getting nearly enough attention.

Mason Ho surfing the Wedge is a little bit of YouTube perfection, because Mason’s surfing and the wave at the Wedge go together like ham and scalloped potatoes. Like Easter and bunnies, Christmas and big, white-bearded men in red suits. You get the idea.
Mason, as you’ve likely seen, is a guy who likes to surf waves that most people don’t. He surfs close to rocks, surfs over the shallowest of reefs, and bounces around in backwash like he was born in a washing machine. It’s all very entertaining, and his most recent vlog is no different.
