Editorial Reviews

For a typical surfer who's drooling like a pedophile in a playground over the prospect of the Roxy models in their own thirty-minute video. This video, from the directors of "LAIRD", is seriously the best "How to" video I've ever seen. It's a fricken' shame that the girls get an instructional video of this caliber and guys are left with a ten-year old Richard Schmidt video. I guess we're better off... Oh, yeah, Kassia Meador is a real star. Makes me want to learn to ride a longboard...

1.0 out of 5 stars Definitely aimed at teenage girls, September 11, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Roxy Surf, Now (DVD)

I was worried that it would be aimed at the young, non-surfing Blue Crush crowd, but the Surfer Mag quote on the back ("Every girl, no matter how experienced they are, needs to have this video.") convinced me to buy this for my wife. She has some surfing experience, and I was looking for a video with good female surfing footage and good advice.

Unfortunately, this video is more about image. The first 10 minutes were downright laughable. It got better as it went on, since there are some great surfers in the video, but the actual surfing footage is sadly sparse. For some strange reason, they just kept showing duck dives and butt shots. You'd think that's all female surfing is about from watching this video. They have some great talent in the video but it mostly goes to waste.

The on-board surf-cam footage was really cool, but overall the video was a big disappointment. Too bad; it had potential with all that talent. (If you're looking for a video about the joys of duck diving, though, this one's for you!)

This dvd goes over some great tips for learning to surf and what you'll need for surfing and why you need certain things. It teaches you overall basic stuff for surfing. They show you some of the cool tricks to get your attention so it's not all about learning and that's it. I loved the videa a good handy tool for your first paddle out. Get stoked and get get wet.

This review is from: Roxy Surf, Now (DVD)

I have been surfing for about 15 years. I have competed at an advanced level, and surf in all sorts of conditions in many locations around the world. I LOVE this video and recommend to all my friends who are trying to learn to surf, men or women. It includes multiple important principles that are unmentioned in so many other surf videos. For example surfing etiquette, which will help eliminate collisions and possible fights (I've seen them happen!!) This video has enough instruction that someone with no previous surfing background should be able to pick up a big board in decent conditions and figure out how to ride it. The music is fun and entertaining, so much that my 4 yr old son loves to watch it even though he's not quite brave enough to ride real waves. I do believe if I had seen this video before I started surfing I would have picked it up even quicker than I did. Thank you Roxy!
