CRYSTAL
VOYAGER
Filmed
By: George Greenough
Year of Production:
1973
Duration: 74 minutes
- When this film first came
out it was considered way ahead of it's time, even revolutionary.
- The
shots from inside the tubes, of which there were heaps in the flick, were considered
by some to be state of the art, and by others to be a waste of good film time.
- The final sequence in the movie which was
backed by Pink Floyd's Echoes was something completely different in surf films.
- But you'd expect that from Greenough who
never fails to come up with something a bit different.
- The
majority of the film is spent with Greenough, Australia's Nat Young and Richie
West traveling the oceans, initially in Greenough's motorised "Pod",
then his sail boat, the "Morning Light".
- This
video is pre-professional surfing, so there is plenty of time to enjoy uncrowded
isolated perfection.

Duration: 67 minutes
- How
many surfers would have believed that by 1998 longboarding would be so engrained
in mainstream, and that as we head into a new millennium, longboarding could look
back to a glorious past stretching nearly 100 years.
- This
video takes longboarding to a great new level with 67 minutes of non-stop action
in crystal clear waters around the world.
- Backing
music by The Reventlos, Tim Reid, The Insect Surfers and a host of others.
CAN'T
STEP TWICE (ON THE SAME PIECE OF OCEAN) 
Filmed
By: Alby Falzon
Year
of Production: 1992
Duration: 35 minutes
- Subtitled
"A Surfing Odyssey", this is an unusual little piece of video footage.
- The title is very philosophical
(Can't Step Twice On The Same Piece Of Water), but there seems to be very little
in the way of surfing and far too much time spent on boobs, loin cloths, demonic
balinese dancers and experimental photography.
- I
only paid about 4 bucks for it at a second-hand store, so it was okay at that
price.
