Surf Vid Collection

[globesurfer]

Hey all, I'm startin a surf video collection and I want some recommendations for classic dvd's. The only one i havea t the moment is Step in2 liquid, but bilalbong odyssey comes with my mag subscription soon so yeah.

Here's my list -

The Endless Summer
Fair Bits
Blue Horizon
The Sketch
Campaign

thats all i've got so far... what else should I get?

Is Fair Bits already out???
Mate have you gone and downloaded some dodgy copy or something?
I saw it at the Jack McCoy film festival at Cremorne here in Sydney only like 2 months ago.

Billabong Odyssey is a dissapointment I'd say Step Into Liquid is better for Big waves even though there are less of them but the Jaws and Cortes Bank shots in Step Into Liquid are much better than Billabong Odyssey. The camera work and music is better too. I'm glad I didn't buy it and rented it instead.

Blue Horizon is my favourite, the intro is classic especailly the music (Foo Fighters "All my Life") and the wipe outs! Gets me amped and ready to go everytime!

I heard Blackwater the story of a place called Teahupo'o is supposed to be good, it's Chopes only though.

Oh I misunderstood, I thought you had all of those but you didn't have step into liquid.

I was only being cheeky about Fair Bits

From what I remember from your posts you live in Oz don't ya? Just go to the video rental shops and have a look what they have. It helps if the shops are in surfing areas e.g. Northern Beaches (Sydney)

I've joined video stores just to get their one Surf DVD out that they had. I got Billabong Odyssey from Blockbuster in Dee Why. Shelter from Civic Video in Manly etc. I'm glad I borrowed Billabong Odyssey as I almost bought it at K-mart on Broadway as it was going for $15, it's good enough to watch but not worth $15. Blue Horizon is worth every cent buy that one!


Then if you have a DVD drive on your PC just use Smart Ripper and you can save the film to your hard drive and watch it as much as you want for those 3 bucks you paid for rental. Just rename the .vob file to .mpg and they will play in mediaplayer too. Of course you should delete it after a while if you know what I mean.
