Australian born, Californian raised, Tyler Manson is a documentarian of sorts living among the surfing sub cultures of California and abroad.

Tyler recently completed Beach Blanket Burnout with Al Knost, and between shoots for Hi Shredability on VBS.tv, and an upcoming series with The Surfer’s Journal, he’s moved beyond the subject of surfing to work on various documentaries ranging from the story of a voyage across the Pacific on a sail boat made of plastic bottles (Voyage of the Plastiki), to a cross-country Greyhound bus marathon mission all in the effort to take a pulse on the state of affairs in America today for Current TV (The Great American Detour).

In addition to his documentary work, Tyler has recently been commissioned to direct several music videos and ad campaigns for Converse, Toms Shoes, Brushfire Records and Woodshed Films.
