Surfing Hollow Days.......2000-07-12

While not as fun as Surf Crazy or either of the Endless Summers, Surfing Hollow Days is still entertaining to those surfing enthusiasts who love Bruce Brown flicks. Surfing Hollow Days takes the viewer on an around-the-world surfing adventure with some of surfing's most legendary riders when they were young men, including August and Yater themselves. The background music isn't much to brag about, and Brown's commentary (usually sharp witted and colorful) seems to fall a little flatter than usual. From California to Australia, during the birth of the foam boards, but still before the oh-so-important leash, we follow several groups of young men surfing their hearts out; including a 12 year old boy surfing Waimea Bay, and the Pipeline's virgin run by the courageous Phil Edwards. And when they can't find a wave it seems as if surfing behind a boat will do. Brown still throws in several gimmicks for comic relief, but for some reason, Surfing Hollow Days just doesn't have the mass appeal as his other works. But, if you love to watch vintage surfing footage, and love anything Bruce Brown, Surfing Hollow Days is still fun to watch - but only recommended for the most die-hard of fans.

SLIPPERY WHEN WET
This is surf filmmaker supreme Bruce Brown's first film, made when he was just 20 years old: the story of five surfers on their dream trip to Hawaii, spending an entire winter living and surfing on the North Shore of Oahu on $100 a month. Slippery When Wet features an original score by jazz legend Bud Shank. The surfing lifestyle at its realest!

SURFIN' SHORTS

One of my prize possesions.......2005-10-09

I bought this for my wife to give to my kids to give on Christmas. There's a lot of great surf footage and some very funny vintage Southern California surf culture in these DVD's. If you learned how to surf pre-leash then you'll get it otherwise it might go right over the heads of the gen x'ers.
