INSIDE OUT

Filmed By: Dale Davis

Year of Production: 1965

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.

IN SEARCH OF GRACE

Filmed by: Charles Brand

Year of Production: 2004

Running Time: 42 minutes

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.

IN GOD'S HANDS

Filmed By: Tom Stern

Year Of Production: 1998

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 TV, then turn it up loud.
In the theatre that I saw it in originally, you could "feel" the waves breaking.
