Super solid vid.
This is a really solid film that gives you a great inside view of just how serious the conditions are that these guys are taking on and shows all the work that goes into riding these monster waves. Definitely a great addition to any surfer's collection.

Poor Mans Step into liquid
This movie sucked. There was hardly any surfing footage. I've seen more surfing footage in Hawaii five O . They totally try to ignore the fact that Laird Hamilton invented surfing. They try and say it was Ken Bradshaw that invented tow in surfing. Then they have some fruity poser looking guy trying to tell us that he invented the hydrofoil surfboard. We all know it was Laird. This movie just plain sucks. Way too much talking. If your going to talk through the whole movie at least show surfing footage while you do it. We don't need to see the director and his bad hair. And we really don't need a science lesson on how waves are formed. The only thing I care about is how big the wave is and the shape. Only good thing about the DVD is the opening sequence and some narly wipeouts. Do yourself a favor and save your money. Buy step into liquid or one of Lairds's DVD's. I felt like I was watching a behind the surfing documentary on VH1 or something. Oy yeah I feel bad for the surfers who appeared in this movie. Your talents deserve a better showcase. Just one more thing. The Mavericks Crew rules. You guys are awesome. If it wasn't for them this DVD would get one star.

One word, three syllables: MINDBOGGLING
One of the best movies I have ever seen, regardless of genre or scripted v. unscripted. The sheer visceral thrill of seeing these surfers tackle the biggest (this movie redefines big) waves in the world with zero fear is not only unspeakably entertaining, it's inspiring. It's clear that both the surfers and the filmmakers pushed themselves to the limit to produce this amazing work. Five stars.
