I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the footage in these four surfing films, considering their age (I would like to know exactly when the footage was shot). The films do have some scratches and spots, but are still very watchable. Each film has its own disc but there are no special features. "Sunset Surf Craze," "Surf Mania," and Psyche Out" are full screen and have narration, identifying the locations and surfers, and providing other information. "Once Upon a Wave" is widescreen and has no narration. The soundtrack music is good and appropriate for the films.

Sunset Surf Craze - aproximately 47 minutes, ?? seconds
Surf Mania - approximately 47 minutes, 39 seconds
Psyche Out - approximately 50 minutes, 11 seconds
Once Upon a Wave - approximately 47 minutes, 57 seconds

I always wondered why the new surf movies can't stand up to the old movies of the sixties. The new surfers are clearly phenomenal and the feats they do are unbelievable. But "that thing"- gliding along the water- is more evident in the old movies. It's like flying and walking on water at the same time. Also the old movies had better music. Alas, it was pirated and played without royalties, but that's why it was so good.
John Severson's "Surf Safari" was the greatest surf movie ever made. It taught one to love Classical music. What a shame it was lost.
Classic Surf Films is a good replacement. Put in your own sound track, do your own narration, and bingo, 1957!
