Here is a quick update from the Salton Sea. While restoration on Albert Frey’s famed North Shore Yacht Club is soon to begin, unfortunately the North Shore Motel couldn’t be saved and was demolished earlier this month.
Also, SPEED WEEK is taking place this weekend, so get your butt down to the Salton Sea and check out some hard core speed boat race action! The races will take place December 5th, 6th, and 7th.
Here is a selection from the Tilapia Film vault. We shot this music video down at the Salton Sea in 1996 for the band Third Day. The video went on to win a Billboard Magazine Music Video Award. For those who have asked us if we have ever swam in the Salton Sea... well you can check this video out and find your answer. We think the whole crew and band ended up getting in the water, including Springer's brother, who was in charge of collecting dead fish.
