I know its not a proper surf movie in the way those are but the film that first made me wanna surf all those years ago was Blue Crush and its still one of my fave films, just picked up the 2nd on DVD but not watched it yet.. probably sounds cheesy lol but if it wasnt for watching that when i was about 14 i dont think i'd have got into it

I'm really looking forward to seeing The Endless Winter!

Egor and Mitch Corbett exploring the UK surf scene - website here : http://www.theendlesswinter.co.uk/

Trailer here;


Love the footage from the micro lite of the Severn Bore;


Not sure when the final finished film is coming out though!

my tops are:
Step Into Liquid
Endless Summer
Endless Summer 2
Big Wednesday

Any comments on Soul Surfer? Seems kindof Hollywood formula. I'm interested in seeing it (haven't yet) but the evangelical christian overtones I've heard about are kindof a turnoff.

Amen. We even posted Greg Noll a T-shirt in honor of his part in the film.

Green Iguana was a legend film. One of my old fav's was Tweak Freaks by Christian Fletcher!

Just a note for all the Point Break fans, the Bells beach bit was shot in Oregon, Bells ain't nothing like that.
Enjoyed the movie though :D

Two of my favourites are Morning of the Earth and The Innermost Limits of Pure Fun as I was around the filmings and also living the alternative lifestyle I've moved on and so has surfing, much of that time is still part of my make up!
Big Wednesday also covered but in a Californian way what happened to surfing in Australia while we were likely to be called up, to go to Vietnam :shock:
Just imagine a whole high school class of boys in their graduation year receiving their call up notice which was to be activated on leaving High School :shock: :shock: :shock:

For the contrasting versions of why surfing went short I recommend Going Vertical
I've taken up troll hunting just for fun, instead of a rifle I'll just use a pun! 冲浪爷爷

These are my favorite:

The Endless Summer
Riding Giants (except the tow-in part)
Bustin' Down the Door
Drive Thru Australia 1 & 2
A Bowlful of Chile

I still haven't watched The Surfer's Journal Biographies : Gerry Lopez / Barry Kanaiaupuni but I'm sure it must be one of the best. There's no way I can find it on the Gold Coast. :(

Thank you very much for this interesting list of movies. I didn't know all movies therefore I bet there are some real treasures in there and I can't wait to watch ALL of them! btw The Endless Summer is also one of my favorites. It's great and very entertaining movie. I've seen it some years ago.

Hi everyone!

I just bought Way Of The Ocean and Melali - The Drifter Session a few days ago. If you like a beautiful surf movie with peaceful music and without much narration then I recommend these two!!
