Duration: 55 minutes
- This is another classic.
- Filmed over a 3-year period in the early 60's.
- The commentary is poor quality and the music is a bit
odd by today's digital standards, but the surfing is classic.
- When you consider the antiquated equipment they rode back
then, these guys were legends.
- At the end of the film there is a shot of the largest
wave ever ridden (at that time).
- It'd have to be 30-foot +, and the guy who takes the drop
is on what, by today's standards, could only be called a log.
- There'd be a lot of today's pros who wouldn't even attempt
this type of thing without their jet-ski, life jacket and helicopters.
- This is a great flick.

- This was co-named "Endless Summer, African Style.
- Good little short, sharp doco-type flick about 5 guys
from Cape Town who share their favourite local surf spots as well as take
an amazing surf trip up the West Coast where the desert seems endless, the
locals are seals, the water is like ice and the waves are unbelieveable.

Duration: 94 minutes
- Love 'em or Loathe 'em, the Jet Ski and
Toe-In Surfing is part & parcel of the surfing scene.
- Whether it is necessary to toe into 8
foot Coolangatta swells or just a way of showing off, remains for the indvidual
to decide, but this film isn't about wimpy little 8 foot Coolangatta or even
20 foot Waimea.
- It is about riding 40+ foot ocean swells.
- This is not a documentary, but rather
a film about what goes into turning a mere surfer into an extreme surfer.
- There are a number of "real"
surfers in this movie, including Shaun Tomson, Mike Stewart, Matt George,
plus a host of other top big wave riders.
- The storyline isn't too flash, but the
surfing and the overall content will keep genuine surfers interested for the
94 minutes.
- If you have stereo speakers on your VCR,
then turn it up loud.
- In the theatre that I saw it in originally,
you could "feel" the waves breaking.
