Title: Good History Lesson of Big Wave Surfing
Product review: I saw this movie at a local Arts Cinema when it first came out and really enjoyed it. I still think the best thing about it is the footage and stories from the early years and pioneers like Greg Noll. When you put it into perspective, those guys were incredibly brave (read: crazy) to get out there on equipment ill-designed for the purpose. This movie gives them the kudos they deserve for pushing the envelope. On that point alone, I recommend buying the DVD because it provides such a nice timecapsule. The modern-day big wave footage (Mavericks, Teauphoo, Hawaii) is also well done and the cherry on top. It's tough to be bored watching Laird and his crew tackle monsters.
