Fuel TV To Roll Out New Surf Series

Fuel TV's new original show "The 808" will roll out on the action-sports network Friday night. The seven-episode "docu-series" features a Kauai surfing group called "The Wolfpak." A co-production between Redsquare TV and Fuel TV, it was filmed late last year and early this one.

Fuel will also hold its first annual "Swerve Festival" in September, an event it describes as a celebration of the "West Coast creative culture," to include film and music video screenings along with live music.

"For more than 30 years, the West Coast creative community has been heavily influenced by the skateboarding and surfing subcultures, which are deeply rooted in self expression," says senior vice president and assistant general manager C.J. Olivares. "Now we're seeing those same subcultures influence the global scene."
