4.0 out of 5 stars A very fun movie, November 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Loose Change: Surfing (DVD)

This movie is every thing it was supposed to be, Good surfing, great music, with a few breaks with comic relief. The one thing I like about the Taylor Steele Movies is that there is never nudity or profanity. I watch these with my two young Groms, in fact they watch this movie more than I.
I recomend this movie for the surfing, the skits, and the music. Other films to look at are Hit and Run and Shelter. If you like the comedy part, check out Drive Thru. It is hilarious.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than most..., December 23, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Loose Change: Surfing (DVD)

This DVD is far better than most, with an actual plot and storyline that most "surfers" will find entertaining. Who knows, an independent-thinking non-surfer might actually sit through this one, much like the Endless Summer films. Quality of picture and sound is high and this is a worthwhile addition to a collection. When you are tired of the "plot," you can select surfing only.

One-quarter or so of this video is action in wetsuit conditions that year-round warm weather surfers may not find engaging or intriguing. More power to the guys that can make small surf look fun, either in the water or on film. Not in wetsuit conditions, Bruce Irons and Slater are exceptional, I wonder why their segments are not longer.

The footage is well mixed and uses a variety of cinematic techniques to keep it interesting even after repeated viewings. [That's why we buy these things, after all, to watch them over and over when we can't surf, isn't it?] Camera work appears to favor the perspective from straight-on, with fewer shots from an angle or showing the surfer from the side. In some of the barrel sequences, some of the surfers' incredible ability to adjust to the barrel is highlighted by this angle. Thankfully, the overused whitewash-on-the-beach & underwater shots are absent. Although a different work, I prefer this DVD to Hit And Run.

If you are looking for "beach life" footage (bikini, etc.), monster wave survival-type sequences, a road map to exotic locations, or commentary on life on the tour (sometimes confused with surfing itself), it is not here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic, March 27, 2007

This review is from: Loose Change: Surfing (DVD)

This is one of my very favorite surf movies. Sure it's not Morning of the Earth, but it was released in 2001 and not in the 1970's. The skits are cool, it makes it feel like your in a drama class with part of the WCT, except it's actually cool fun.. even funny.
I really enjoy the surfing in it. I think it's about nice clean, good sized waves and smooth moves more than absolute ball tearing sections of hate and 720 judo airs.
Even in 2007 this is probably my favorite one to throw on and watch again, even after seeing it HEAPS of times. I've being trying to buy the cd soundtrack of it for 6 years now. So yeah, it's good.
