When it comes to surfing DVD’s, among my favorites are the “DRIVE THRU” series from 14 Day Productions.  It’s literally a series which puts together a group of well-known surfers and send them to surf spots in different parts of the world.

Some of these surfers know each other really well and some who don’t know each other all that well but  that’s part of the fun of watching these people together and see how they have fun, if they can put up with each other and overall enjoy the country, experience the culture and surf in cool locations.

This was a fun “DRIVE THRU” because these guys had fun, got drunk, pulled pranks on each other but it’s just how the crew covered the 14-days of traveling, surfing and just following the guys having fun.  But the enjoyability also comes from the tight editing by Matt Beauschesne.  From the beautiful scenery of South Central America (Panama, Chile and Brazil), the clips of the guys surfing and how you get these flashes of images and editing that is in tune with the music.  Pretty cool!

Speaking of the music, quite a good number of awesome music featured featured on this DVD from Blink 182’s “Easy Target”, Chemical Romance with “The Jetset Life Is Gonna Kill You”, Muse’s “Hysteria”, Modest Mouse’s “Float On”,  Franz Ferdinand’s “Take Me Out” and many others.

For DRIVE THRU South Central America, the surfing footage is very awesome but the feature also has a few cool non-surfing footage.  Here are a few of my favorite highlights:

• Watching the guys goof off at the airport
• Kalani getting drunk and getting hit by a bat and falling into the sea.
• Some kid taunting Benji Weatherly
• Donavon playing guitar and Ozzie singing “La Bamba”
• The guys hang gliding in Brazil
• The guys riding their ATV’s on the beach and then doing some tow surfing

The feature is about 48 minutes long.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

There are a good number of extras such as an alternate ending (which I preferred), three deleted scenes (which were around 5-minutes) featuring the guys looking at a sloth climbing a tree, more of the bats and more surfing footage when the guys went out with the ATV’s.

Also, included are outtakes with the guys ribbing on each other and messing around and messing up on camera.  For “Inside Out”, the guys talk about being selected for this DRIVE THRU and discussing their favorite experiences of the trip.  Then there is a 2-minute “Surf” footage featuring everyone surfing.

There are quite a good number of “DRIVE THRU” releases on DVD but it’s always cool to see the various surf spots in different countries and again, these DRIVE THRU features are quite fun because you get a good balance of surfing footage but sometimes you really don’t know anything about the surfers but what you see on TV, what you read on magazines but with this series, you get to see these surfers and watch them have fun!

It’s like hearing a story from a buddy about his surf trip in some country but instead of having to hear it, you can watch it.  You get that visual experience which made it fun.  Also, with awesome editing, DVD presentation, beautiful locations and awesome music, and again…just watching these guys just ribbing on each other, crackin jokes and having fun, everything was all good!

Last, I like the fact that this surf DVD doesn’t skimp on special features, there’s a good number of them and they are quite lengthy too.

Overall, these DRIVE THRU DVD’s are just enjoyable.  Definitely check it out!

DVD:  LEARN TO SURF The Fundamentals with 3x World Champion Andy Irons

COMPANY: Billabong and Transworld SURF Magazine

DVD INFORMATION: Color

DURATION: 31:57 minutes

RELEASED IN 2005

STARRING:

Andy Irons, Chris Cote and friends

THREE-TIME WORLD CHAMPION ANDY IRONS hosts this revolutionary, fun and hilarious instructional DVD on the fundamentals of learning how to surf.  Volume 001 in this collector’s series focuses on the basics while all skill levels will find helpful tips on surfing better.  Filmed in Hawai’i and bro-hosted by TransWorld SURF magazine’s Chris Cote.  Learn to Surf: The Fundamentals is sure to make you think, laugh and paddle out today.

There are not too many “learn to surf” DVD’s in the market.  Well, I’ll take that back… More like, there are not too many well-produced and cool “learn to surf” DVD’s in the market.

For the first volume of the “Learn to Surf: The Fundamentals” series from Surfwear company Billabong and Transworld SURF magazine comes a cool DVD starring three time world champion Andy Irons and Transworld SURF magazine’s Chris Cote in a fun (and short) DVD on pretty much the basic fundamentals.

Join Andy Irons and Chris Cote as they go to a surf shop and show you how to select a surfboard, the accessories you’ll need, knowing about safety.  Then you get to watch how to do your stance, standing on the board and learning to paddle.

Then you get to learn how to surf, learning wave physics, attaching a leash, waxing your board and catching waves.

All in all, it’s a pretty much self-explanatory DVD that features the basic fundamentals.  What makes the DVD quite entertaining is that Chris Cote clowns around and makes the video fun.

AUDIO AND VIDEO:

Audio is pretty much all dialogue but it can be heard quite well through the speakers.  The video seems to be shot on DV.  Pretty cool cuts cenes of Andy and Chris driving through Hawaii.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

Featured is the “Making of LEARN TO SURF the Fundamentals with 3x World Champion Andy Irons” and also trailers for five surf films and promo for the Billabong Surf Camp.

The “Making Of” is about six minutes long and features the staff involved in the making of the DVD.

Again, this is one of the better, well-produced DVD’s on “Learning to Surf”.  It’s a bit short at 30-minutes long but it’s pretty much teaching the basic fundamentals and for that, the DVD does its job.

If anything, it’s well-done because there are quite a bit of cut scenes, showcasing the beauty of Hawaii and just learning how to surf.  Makes it even more entertaining because of the comedy interaction between Cote and Irons.

All in all, a pretty cool DVD and you can find it for a great price these days online!  Check it out!

“My first skimboarding DVD that I purchased that featured really awesome and gnarly video footage of random skimboard shots.  From really trippy aerials to skimboarders just messin’ around and having fun!  One of the better skimboard DVD’s out there!”

BUY THIS DVD

FILM: aegis

COMPANY: skimonline.com/South Laguna Skate & Surf

DVD INFORMATION: Color, 2002

DURATION: 48 minutes

Produced by skimonline.com

FEATURING:

Bill Bryan, George Bryan, Brad Evers, Aaron Peluso, Andy Chiavetta, Erik Christensen, Jeff Gomez, Grady Archbold, Miles Grobman, Paulo Prietto, Mike Stanaland, Dominic Prietto and many more!

Some have called Skimonline.com’s debut skimboarding video the best skim flick yet.  Buy a copy now and decide for yourself!  Aegis features more riders than any other skim video.  It also includes more locations than your average skim video with footage from as far away as France.  The unprecedented use of a water camera at spots like the wedge provides for some really great shots that everyone should see.  Buy one today and see what the hype is all about.

One of my favorite skimboard online communities that I used to venture into was Aaron Peluso’s skimonline.com.  Featuring a pretty cool community of skimboarders, the site had it’s first DVD release featuring a lot of talented skimboarders from Aaron, Paulo Prietto, Andy Chiavetta and many others.

I’ve not seen a skimboard film or DVD since most of my surfing DVD’s were typically shortboard-based.  But with my interest in the sport and even skimboarding myself, I definitely would get pumped by watching people skimboard.

“aegis” is pretty much a DVD featuring a variety of skimboarders and video clips showcasing them skimboarding in California’s Laguna Beach, Florida, Hawaii, FRANCE and a variety of areas across the world.

You get a lot of cool music and a collage of video segments of people just rippin’.  You get a few shortboard and skating shots but it’s pretty much the cool skimboard shots and people just having fun.

There is no director but several dozen people contributing their skimboarding film for this DVD.  So, you get a lot of fun clips of skimboarders from the past and some other crazy situations.

AUDIO & VIDEO:

The video is shot with a variety of different cameras.  From digital to standard 8mm it seems.  But all in all, the focus on this video was pretty much showcase some of the skimboard talents and help promote skimboarding.   Very little dialogue, mainly all music .

SPECIAL FEATURES:

The DVD features on bonus feature which is a 2:26 video featuring additional skimboarding footage.

All in all, “aegis” is a pretty cool DVD.  Pretty much respect Aaron Peluso and the other guys who helped promote the sport and even managed to turn their passion into a business.  An older skimboard DVD from 2002 but still manages to include so much footage with contribution with dozens upon dozens of skimboarders and film contributors.  So, this DVD was pretty much a cool collaborative effort and pretty fun to watch!

“Absolutely beautiful!  One of the best surf films to feature awesome cinematography all on 16MM but also a surfing film with substance and just all out enjoyment of surfing not just from popular surfers featured on this film but the people from those countries that embrace the surf life but in their own way.  Awesome!”

FILM: A BROKEDOWN MELODY

DISTRIBUTED BY: Woodshed Films

RATED: NOT RATED

DURATION: 55 minutes EXTRA FEATURES: 45 minutes

DIRECTED BY Chris Malloy

Produced by Emmet Malloy and Tim Lynch

Co-Producer: Kelly Slater

Creative Director: Dusty Lynn

Director of Photography: Dave Homcy

Art Direction: Dave Lively and Chris Malloy

A Film by Chris and Emmet Malloy

THE TRAILER:

A BROKEDOWN MELODY follows swell through South America, Polynesia and Jamaica documenting in 16mm film the surfing of Kelly Slater, Gerry Lopez, Jack Johnson, Mike Todd, Mark Cunningham, C.J. Hobgood, The Wilmots, The Malloys and Rob Machado.

Music from Jack Johnson, Eddy Vedder, Beta Band, Kings of Convenience, Doug Martsch, Kruder and Dorfmeister, Astor Piazzola, Mikey Einziger, Johnny Osbourne, M. Ward, Matt Costa, Culver City Dub Collective, Todd Hanigan, Xocoyotzin Moraza and more.

I remember purchasing this video and just stoked about watching popular surfers such as Kelly Slater to legend Gerry Lopez and also to see singer/surfer Jack Kohnson and many others together in a surfing film.   Oh, and my favorite surfer Tom Curren also stars in this film and many others who are not mentioned on the back cover.

Granted, you see many surfers from different surfing companies in various films but this one, rarely are you going to see a surfing film with Kelly Slater, Gerry Lopez, Jack Johnson, Rob Machado and a few others together like this.

But what I enjoyed this film is just the incredible videography that I’ve watched it so many times over the years because it’s not so much about watching these legendary surfers surf, it’s about the environment, the life and embracing the location and the people in the area.

Watching the surf team from Jamaica to these kids using broken boards to surf to the Jamaican Surf Team, that was just so cool to see.  Overall, this film was truly a cool surfing experience with one of the coolest visual experiences of a surf film that I’ve seen (and I’ve watched many surfing films).

I don’t know if I would call it a classic but I really enjoyed the film, it wasn’t so much in your face but it was about substance and surfing as a way of life and the people who live in South America, Polynesia and Jamaica.  So, all in all, I truly digged “A BROKEDOWN MELODY”.

VIDEO:

For a surfing film, I felt the video on 16mm was just a fantastic way to document this film.  The colors looked vibrant and just overall, it had a look that wasn’t to crispy clear, had that edge and noise with some of the dust that you would expect to see.  Visually, the colors and overall look were very cool!

AUDIO:

Although this film is more of a surfing/documentary style and a lot of dialogue, the focus on audio is primarily the cool music by Jack Johnson, Eddie Vedder and many other talents.  Music definitely gave a great ambience throughout the film.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

This DVD comes with several special features.  Extra surf segments is pretty much nearly 27-minutes worth of extra footage.  This extra footage are just in par with the actual film, I’m guessing was cut out for pacing reasons but still watching the cut footage is actually better than a lot of stand-alone DVD’s that are twice as long.

For “Moonshine Videos”, you get the music videos for Ben Harper’s “With My Own Two Hands” and “Diamonds on the Inside” and you get the “Taylor” outtakes which is a short segment featuring actor Ben Stiller pretending to talk surf lingo with two guys.

For “Surf Aid International”, pretty much a five minute segment about what the organization is about and how it helps people in other countries that are less fortunate and how they bring doctors to help people affected by malaria.  Pretty much focusing on a guy named Dave who is a doctor who was surfing in another country and went to a nearby village to see how he can help people in the village and learned that they really needed his help.  He quit his high paying job, sold his house to help the villagers and use low-cost vaccines and education to help the villages.

“A BROKEDOWN MELODY” is just a fantastic film.  Not too long and not boring at all.  It’s just visually appealing and the various cuts and editing featuring the beautiful waves, the landscapes and the people from that live near the area just enjoying the surf along with the surfers was just incredible to see.

So, pretty much, I felt that I got more for my money with this surfing DVD.

Surfers looking for aerials or big wave surfing, this is not the video you are looking for.  For surfers that just want to enjoy surfers like Kelly Slater, Tom Curren, Gerry Lopez, Jack Johnson and others surfing in South America, Polynesia and Jamaica and just enjoy the overall scenery and to hear not just from the surfers about the experience but also the villagers, you don’t really see that in a surfing film.

Definitely worth owning!

FILM:  Five Summer Stories

DISTRIBUTED BY: Surfing Video Network

RATED: NOT RATED

DURATION: 1:29:38

THE TRAILER:

Heralded as “the finest surf movie ever made,” Five Summer Stories is a cultural icon, a time capsule from a watershed era when the world was at a critical crossroads and its reflection was clear in the emerging sport/art of surfing.

Against a backdrop of the Vietnam War and the Nixon years, Five Summer Stories was the culmination of the joint surf-film careers of Jim Freeman and Greg MacGillivray.  Code named “The Last Surfing Movie” during production, the movie portrays a young, outlaw sport at a strategic point of its creative evolution-and at an historic crux in time.  Now you, too, can do what the audience of the 1970s did-you can hoot and scream and go crazy-all in the privacy of your own home.

THE LAST SURFING MOVIE - “Five Summer Stories” is Greg MacGillivray and Jim Freeman’s last surfing film.  It is the culmination of a ten year celebration in celluloid that includes the classics “Free and Easy, Waves of Change and The Sunshine Sea”.  In Five Summer Stories”, Greg and Jim give us five plus exciting, controversial and beautiful stories about surfing.  From these stories comes a perspective on surfing that warns of the future while it warms the present.  SUMMER: NOT A SEASON BUT A STATE OF MIND.

I’ve heard so much about Jim Freeman and Greg MacGillivray’s (the founder of IMAX) film “Five Summer Stories” (and “Sunshin Sea”) many times from fellow surfers and before it was released in DVD, I’ll admit seeing the VHS at various surfshop for years but I always found myself using the money towards surfwax or new boardshorts because what people were selling were these expensive limited edition signed sets and so I passed.

Flash forward many years later and it’s been gnawing in the back of my mind that I still haven’t seen the film yet and so, I drove to my local surf shop and picked up “Five Summer Stories” on DVD.

I’ve heard about how this film was one of the first major budget films as it was the first film on stereo, it was the first film that paid a surfer (Gerry Lopez) for appearing in the film and how this film literally packed theaters who just loved the surfing, seeing popular surfers from the 70’s and also from the past just showing off their passion and also music by the Beach Boys and Honk.

Having watched the DVD again for I don’t know how many times since I bought it, I figured that I might as well type up a review on my thoughts of the film.

The film is titled “Five Summer Stories” and features various stories somewhat broken down in five categories.  The first story titled ” A Hawaiian Odyssey” featuring Hawaii in 1972 and various surfers in Hawaii at various locations such as the North Shore, Sunset, Waikiki.  From shots of the various activities in the 1970’s, from people in Hawaii at events, to ladies in bikinis and even a young Laird Hamilton at the age of 10.

Chapter 1 3/8 would feature the surfing scene in the 1950’s and 1960’s with the popularity of surf films, surf shops, knee boarding, Duke and the big surfers at that time.  Micky Dora, Nat Young, Midget Farrelly, Corky Carroll, David Nuuhiwa and more.

Chapter 2 titled “Different Drummers” features major surfers commenting on up and coming surfers of the early 70s.  Also, an interesting segment with Corky Carrol with a mic taped to his body while surfing.

Chapter 2 1/2 is titled “Magic Rolling Board” and this featured the popularity of skateboarding during the 70’s.  This was pretty fun to see the various stunts that people would pull off and the crazy fandom at that time.

Chapter 2 3/4 is titled “Contest Weight”.  This would focus on various surfing competitions in the 70’s.

Chapter 3 titled “Women in Motion” features popular women surfing from 1958 through the early 1970s.  It was great to see women such as Lynne Boyer, Linda Benson, Joyce Hoffman and others who revolutionized surfing.

Chapter 3 1/4 features Saun Tomson and 3 1/2 is titled “Bright Stars” and features two surfers.

Chapter 4 features a combination of surfing and old school animation.  Chapter 4 3/4 titled “Is Surfing Closed Out” and this one features popular surf breaks and its changes from the 60’s to 1995 (new footage).

Chapter 5 is titled “Heaven’s Gift to Man: Tunnel of Love” which features a combination of surfing and animation.  Focusing on surfers riding the tube.

VIDEO:

Considering the film was released in 1972, many scenes looked pretty well done and the video looks like it held up quite well through the years.  The problem is that I don’t know how much was added in newer footage versus what was shown in the 1970’s.  But all in all, the older footage looks pretty good on DVD.

AUDIO:

A lot of music and narration.  A lot of people who grew up in the 70’s have always talked about the awesome soundtrack and people who have seen the original film have said the film version of the DVD has its music replaced (half of the Beach Boys music replaced).  So, again…not having seen the original 70’s film, I don’t know how much music was changed from the original to this present DVD version.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

There are no special features but there is a 1:29 minute prologue asking people “What were you doing in 1972?”.  Prologue was mispelled as prologe but very minor quirp.

Personally, I can see why this movie is a classic and I definitely agree it is a time capsule for surfing past.  There are so many cutscenes, surfing and a bit of humor and fun included in this film and for a film created in 1972, I can tell you that the footage looks much better than a lot of surfing DVD’s and VHS I own from the 80s and 90s.

For me, I enjoy watching legends like Gerry Lopez and even seeing Corky Carroll just ripping and just having fun on the waves.  There are so many legendary surfers on this film and of course, many of them were in their teens or twenties at the time, so it was cool to see them surf.

I actually enjoy humorous cut scenes and footage that may not seem as much to others but yeah, sing Bill Hamilton and little Laird surfing at the age of 10 and 11 was pretty cool because that little kid has grown up to become one of the best big wave surfers of all time.

I’ve read some reviews about how the DVD version of the film does not have the original music as the original film and it truly was a bummer to them.  I have not seen the original film with the original Beach Boys soundtrack, so I am not affected.  But I supposed I can understand in someways when I watch a DVD for a television show and the music was changed because they don’t have the music rights for the DVD releases and yeah, if you don’t like the music which replaced the original, yeah, I can see that really dampening the experience for some.

Also, I noticed that the original film clocks in at 94 minutes, while this DVD version clocks in at 89:38.  So, five minutes maybe were cut?  Not sure.  I do know that near the end, we see 1995 footage, so not sure if the film was re-edited to celebrate its 25th Anniversary or what.

But all in all, this film is one of the few surfing DVD’s that I can say is worth owning.  I enjoyed watching the classic 70s footage and the fact that the film tried to introduced so many parts to it, all in all, it was fun.  Was it better than “Endless Summer”, I’m more biased towards “Endless Summer” but overall, “Five Summer Stories” was just fun to watch and having it in my collection definitely has me stoked!

FILM: Letting Go - KELLY SLATER 2005 - TRIALS & TRIUMPHS

DISTRIBUTED BY: Quicksilver

THE TRAILER:

In the 1990’s, Kelly Slater established himself as the most dominant professional surfer ever.  He won a record 6 world titles.  But that was then.  By 2005, it had been 7 years sine he had worn the crown.  Many thought he was past his prime.

They were wrong.

Experience the most triumphant of Kelly’s career. Join him in the epic waves of the WCT “dream tour” - Australia, South Pacific, Africa, North and South Africa, Asia and Europe - on his quest for his long awaited 7th world title.  Get behind the scenes look into one of the most intense years in competitive surfing - the rivalries, the controversies and the drama - from the world’s top pro surfers.  Witness revealing and exclusive interviews with Kelly and never before seen backstage footage of his life.

Packed with bonus features, this is a documentary that pulls back the curtain and shows history in the making.

Kelly Slater is the most dominant surfer of all time and having won 9 world titles, it sure didn’t come easy.
Before winning world title #7, Kelly Slater had not won a title in seven years.

Having to deal with personal problems, the death of his father to cancer and stress took its toll on the athlete.

In 2003, the surfing world looked at Andy Irons as the most dominant surfer having won three world titles.

That year,  Kelly Slater made his comeback and  points wise, Kelly Slater was  ahead and it was Kelly Slater’s world title to win.

But with Andy Irons winning many competitions and gaining on points, it led to one last confrontation that year and in the end, Andy Irons won the world championship and for Kelly Slater, it left him devastated.

Pro surfing now had its most intense rivalry and in 2005, it became another year like 2003 where Kelly Slater at no. 1 and Andy Irons at no. 2 with both each winning key competitions.

After his devastating loss against Andy Irons, the eyes were set on their rivalry and everyone wondered if Kelly Slater had what it took to win his seventh world title or would he crumble and Andy Irons get the best of him again.

The documentary features Kelly Slater return in 2005 in his bid to win a world title.

Great cinematography and a good build up showcasing Kelly’s ups and downs throughout the year and most of all the intense rivalry between the two surfers and times where Kelly could have won the title, Andy Irons come through and win a competition and deny Slater again and again.

It was almost like a repeat of 2003 where Kelly dominated and it seems that everything was slipping away.

In what turned out to be one of the most awesome years of surfing because of the rivalry, the whole documentary was intense and to see the things going through Slater’s mind was great to see.
In the end, Kelly was triumphant and won his seventh world title and through.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

The DVD comes with six deleted scenes which show Kelly Slater talking about relationships, why it’s hard to win all the time, the truth about rivalry, strength training and more.  Included is a huge poster of Kelly Slater surfing.

All in all, if you are a Kelly Slater fan and respect his surfing and what he has accomplished in his life, “Letting Go” is the ultimate Kelly Slater DVD out right now.

Great cinematography, awesome music and much more.

A very awesome insight to the most dominant surfer of all time.
