Editorial Reviews

Never in the history of surfing has the ocean roared as hard and as full on as Wednesday the 28th of January 1998. All the elements came together to create some of the BIGGEST RIDABLE SURF IN LIVING HISTORY! Surfers are towed into 30' to 50' walls of death "Jaws has never been surfed bigger". Outside log cabins on Oahu's North Shore Hawaii was surfed for the first time EVER and was claimed by Ken Bradshaw as NOW the biggest rideable wave.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: SPORTS/GAMES Rating: NR UPC: 730475828839 Manufacturer No: 00883-7

This review is from: Biggest Wednesday [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video has nice shots of the largest waves ever ridden. The photography is good and clear, but if you are over 40 you may want to hit the mute button when the music kicks in. I gave it 4 stars because of the histroic importance to the surfing captured in this film.

2.0 out of 5 stars Average video - poor soundtrack, September 4, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Biggest Wednesday [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video certainly shows off some big waves, but the soundtrack is awful and the overall quality is not that good. Many of the waves were pulled from the video 'Laird' and the video quality is much much better in that video. In this video, some of the same rides are shown twice or even 3 times. Maybe they think we wouldn't notice. The quality of the background music is awful. I like punk music, but this stuff sounds like a circular saw going through a metal trashcan, for 35 minutes.

Anyway, some of the footage is awesome so it might be a nice collection to your library, just press mute and play your own music from your stereo while you're watching it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Big Wednesday is a Big Disappointment, October 16, 2003

This review is from: Biggest Wednesday (DVD)

I bought this DVD last week and i'm not happy to announce that the quality is terrible, it looks like it was shot on 16mm, its blurry, poor resolution and half the film is shots of guys talking. Big Wednesday is a Big Disappointment and i don't recomend buying this DVD. The PBS special on nova was much better.
