Summary: Giants Riding Giants
Comment: This is only one of three surf movies I actually paid to see in a theater before buying the DVD. I watch it at least twice a year. The "brief history of surfing" is absolutely hysterical. If you had to describe the surfing culture to someone who didn't surf, this is what you'd show them. Greg Noll makes the movie. His language and candor is a refreshing change from modern day professionals.

Summary: Flows Amazingly
Comment: I borrowed this from my Library but I am going to order it asap. Amazing documentary following the different lives of surfers. Laird Hamilton is my hero anyway, but I was so amazed how well this documentary flowed from one story to the next. I just kept thinking that through it. And the passion of the surfers shown is evident and amazing. I have amazing respect for these men and women. Definitely buy it when you get the chance, you won't regret it!

Summary: It ain't about surfing, its about living big
Comment: Listening to Greg Noll talk as old man about his relationship with the giant waves who every once in a while will wink at him is so powerful it almost takes your breath away. This movie is completely captivating and portrays the roots of surfing in a very personal way. Its just something these guys did, something no one else had done and they just did it without thinking about it - and big wave surfing was born.

I don't surf but I recognize the pull of getting in that zone that certain sports produce. This film gives you a window on that zone in surfing.

Comment: This is THE movie for people who are fascinated by big wave surfing.
Nice historical background as well. The helicopter sequenes are just jaw-dropping.
