i dont have it. I've seen "Endless Summer" a billion times, though. I even grew up in a SoCal beach surf haven and was never able to learn to surf. I contented myself with boogieboarding, which is really pretty fun.
i love watching surf videos though. Here's one i guess i'll have to pick up. Thanks :)
If you liked Laird Hamilton and the tow-in stuff (my fave), there is an even more incredible documentary called just "Laird". I got it in a box set with one called "strapped", which is about the group of 8 guys, including Laird, who invented tow-in surfing. The box is called The Laird Hamilton Box, subtitled "the ultimate big wave collector's edition". It's great, unbelieveable if you like big-wave and tow-in.
Yes, "Step Into Liquid" was made by the son of the guy who made "Endless Summer," and furthermore, the main surfers from "Endless Summer" are in it. :-)
Some 140,000 people in south Asia, or whatever the number is, stepped into liquid early this week, in spades. And none of them stepped out again. Be careful of testing one time too many the powers of what you fuck around with. Mother nature frequently is neither kind nor benevolent.
Most of the people who died in this horrific disaster weren't engaging in any risky behavior. They were fishing, eating breakfast, minding their own business.
This event shows that nature is so nasty, it'll kill thousands in a genuinely random event. I don't know why, but this encourages me to try surfing this summer, something I've been putting off for years. I don't know if it's an effort to transcend nature's nastiness, or if it's just a way of saying 'you never know what will happen next, so it now.'
