New Smyrna Beach means something different to everyone who calls it home. For some, it’s “The Shark Bite Capital of the World.” For surfers, it’s one of the most consistent breaks on the East Coast. And for Hometown Hype director Sam Scribner, it became the place where he rediscovered surfing after his life changed forever.
Sam grew up surfing in Central Florida, living and breathing action sports—until a freak accident left him paralyzed from the chest down. Forced to rethink how he stayed connected to his friends and passions, he picked up a camera. From iPhone clips at skateparks to voice-activated GoPros and finally a DSLR mounted to his wheelchair, filming became his path back into the culture he loved.
When Sam moved to New Smyrna with his family, the ocean called again. What started as casually shooting from the sand turned into something deeper: a way to feel part of the lineup again
