ADVENTURES IN PARADISE
Filmed
By: Scott Dittrich
Year
Of Production: 1984
Duration:
80 minutes
- A
classic time capsule of surfing, this video follows the world's best surfers around
the world's best beaches. Hawaii, Indonesia, Australia and the Caribbean - just
some of the stops on a ten thousand mile search for the perfect wave. Strangely
enough, this film starts in Hawaii and heads off from there.
- It
takes nearly 20 minutes to finally get away from Pipeline and another 5 minutes
or so before we get into HUGE North Shore swells.
- Finally
after an hour the viewer gets to see some more waves that aren't in Hawaii. Maybe
I'm too cynical, but boy I can only stand seeing the same waves breaking at the
same Hawaiian beaches for so long and then I have to say, "show me something
different!!!!"
- The
best of the Hawaiian stuff is saved for the last few minutes when Third Reef at
Pipeline breaks. Cowa "bloody" bunga dude!

- Described
as a six-pack of surfing adventures each exploring a different aspect of the total
surfing experience. There's a bit of everything in this video. Bodyboarding, skateboarding,
windsurfing are all covered.
- The
video is actually a group of six presentations from the pages of Surfer Magazine.
North Shore Profiles, True California, Maui, The Tom Curran Story, Winter Waves
and Tahitian Dreams. The commentary is American propaganda at it's best - or it's
most annoying.
- No
special sound track to speak of, just a bit of background music.
ALL
SUMMER LONG
Filmed

- There's probably
no such thing as the Perfect Surf Video (10/10). Endless Summer comes close I
suppose, but this little Aussie contribution comes pretty-damn close too.
- It
primarily features Ray Gleave and Matt Kay, but has a host of other people and
some very cool surfing. Even chuck in a bit of contest surfing for us "wish
we were's" out there.
- The
Soundtrack is by a couple of talented Aussie singers/songwriters, and is advertised
as "The Best Original Soundtrack since MORNING OF THE EARTH", which
is a pretty bold statement. I found myself concentrating on the surfing to the
extent that the Soundtrack was just some background music. But from what I remember
of it, it was pretty good also.
