any other good surf movies?


I love North Shore. I'm looking for another movie with a similar setup. Doesn't have to be surfing, just similar.

Even a bad movie with a little bit of surfing is better than a good movie with out surfing.

Fictional stories
Big Wednesday - The Best movie about surfing bar none
Point Break - Just a big dumb fun ride
Blue Crush - Spotlight on the under utilized women surfers
In God's Hands - Great cinematography, surfing Bad story, acting


Non Fiction Documentary
Endless Summer - The Godfather of surf movies
Riding Giants - a great love letter to a lost art
Surfwise - just one of the many faces of surfing and its lost cultre
Endless Summer 2 - Its time for a 3rd part
Step Into Liquid - Superb camera work and interesting stories
Blackwater - sheds so much light on something up til recently not there

the second list could actually go on and on

You could try:

Crystal Voyager

or Bruce Brown's golden years of surf collection that came before the Endless Summer movies.

"Damn it Neil, the name is Nuwanda."

There's an independent film called "The Ride" which is a fictional film about Duke Kahanamoku.

In God's Hands is godawful, but the surfing scenes are good. Just fast forward the rest.
