Editorial Reviews

Longboard Magazine

"Longboard Magic offers plenty of fodder for drool-filled dreams of 150 yards of peeling perfection."

Product Description

2 1/2 hours of pure longboarding stoke! A super value. Director Richard Lehrer put together his two most popular titles on one DVD to fill it with the right points, world-class longboarders, and the most perfect days at all the breaks surfers love to see... Both titles were shot exclusively in California and edited in surf-video style.

"Longboard Magic", 75 minutes, features Rincon, Malibu, Huntington, Newport, Swami's, Cardiff...and features: Joel Tudor, Josh Farberow, Dylan Jones, Kassia Meador, Josh Baxter, Beau Young and many more.

"Multiple Personalities", 84 minutes, features many of the finest longboard surfers in the world at the world-famous Malibu. Each surfer shows his/her different stylistic approach to this classic Summer break - Jimmy Gamboa, Jason Rogland, Terry Simms, Kevin Connelly, Cori Shumacher, Josh Farbeow, and countless others - all set to a rewarding soundtrack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Longboard Magic & Multiple Personalities.. A++, April 21, 2003

This review is from: Longboard Magic / Multiple Personalities (DVD)

Rich Lehrer captures the "essence" of what Surfing Malibu is really all about in Multiple Personalities! He covers a wide range of emotion by implementing Rock, Pop, Surf and tasty Blues music behind the colorful styles of pro and non pro surfers alike. I particularly loved all the un-relenting nose rides from a long list of surfing notables.
From groms,young men and women, to seasoned veterans, even some great Tandem Events, it's ALL there.
Then get "Up Close and Personal" in Longboard Magic!All the top longboarders in a multitude of excellent surf at California's best summer and winter breaks.By the way it was filmed I felt like I was right there with 'em! Beautiful Imagery and a great soundtrack keeps the "Stoke" factor pumpin'!

This review is from: Longboard Magic / Multiple Personalities (DVD)

Want repetition again and again and again without any substantive commentary or perspective whatsoever from the department of redundancy department? This dynamic duo of de ja vu is for you. I love surf flicks, I love surfing, especially longboarding. But there's little excuse for the intellectually lazy offering both these films kick out. There's absolutely no interviews with any of the surfers and folks there are a ton of surfers in both of these flicks that provide a combined running time for about 2 and a half hours. It's great background on the tube for a party or something. But, I fell asleep trying to get some mental stimulation out of watching the same wave shots over and over and over and -- for the love of god -- over AGAIN! I'll keep this DVD set, but feel somewhat cheated. Oh yeah, same goes for Longboard Fever and Longer (the Joel Tudor self-indulgent rip off of the century coupled with jazz music that's more fitting for cheesy porno than it is for a surf flick). This is the problem with this genre in the past few years. Slap the word "Longboard" on it and they think they have a surfing film for a specific audience. But what you've really got is a mish-mash of nothingness for the mind framed in pretty pictures. Good god, stick a camera and mic in some of these guys' faces and let them tell us what they know. Is that so much extra work? I mean it was all shot on VIDEO, not film stock, which you can get away with on the Longboard Magazine videos because they do use film instead of video and look sooooooo much better. Well, we all know better. This is short-changing the surf culture and rather embarassing. Hey, my wife who does not surf, but loves watching the videos even said of this lame effort, "God, this is so boring."
