surf movies

[Justin]

i'm a big fan of documentaries and just now found this not released surf doc that looks pretty fascinating:

http://www.snagfilms.com/splinters

Splinters is the first feature-length documentary film about the evolution of indigenous surfing in the developing nation of Papua New Guinea. In the 1980s an intrepid Australian pilot left behind a surfboard in the seaside village of Vanimo. Twenty years on, surfing is not only a pillar of village life but also a means to prestige. With no access to economic or educational advancement, let alone running water and power, village life is hermetic. A spot on the Papua New Guinea national surfing team is the way to see the wider world; the only way.

That sounds really interesting Justin! I much prefer stuff like that with a bit of depth. I bought Innersection II recently and found the relentless air reverses into the wind. section after section, got boring pretty quick...

Yeah, that is a good one. His barrel riding is top 3 in the world and his above the lip stuff would have to be up there too. Every wave in that movie is crazy.

Yeah, that's another good one, kdropin.
Sipping Jetstreams and Castles In The Sky are a couple of my recent faves. As well as One Track Mind and older classics like the Momentum films, Shelter and 5th Symphony Document. September Sessions is a beauty too.
Dane's Thrills Spills is cool in a quirky way, and The Drifter and Melali are enjoyable watches, Drive Thru Europe gets a notable mention too!
