Friction of Perception, a surf‑film experience that breaks the mold. Directed by Darcy Ward and starring CT phenom Liam O’Brien, this Vissla‑backed portrait dives deeper than just wave highlights. Tired of the usual “smart, nice guy” buzz, Friction of Perception unpacks the complexity behind Liam’s calm exterior—highlighting his grit, creativity, and fierce love for surfing. From family and mates at Burleigh Heads to tour peers and local legends, the voices of those who truly know Liam come through—no scripted narrators, just authentic reflections woven together.
