Review title: ...hit the MUTE button...
Product review: ...Sure, the surfing footages are gorgeous and inspiring, but as a movie trying to convey the soul of surfing, it fails. Most scenes and situations bordered between the absurd and laughable, as was the dialogue. I found myself wishing the filmmakers wouldn't take themselves too seriously. Watching this was like hearing Laird Hamilton wax poetics on why surfing is good for the soul (boring!!). Give me the guys over at Mavericks anytime. They never talk about soul-searching. What they experience out there on the waves are hard to put in words. Being didactic about any activity that is life affirming and joyous is mistake. Forget this film and rent Bruce Brown's The Endless Summer, which mangaged to say all that and more about surfing with so much less. Mahalo.
