Saw it when it first came out . I'd say it's in the top ten for actual real life surf movies . Dana brown , son of Bruce brown aka Endless summer . This film is in HD I believe or maybe 480 but had good resolution compared to old format of Endless summer 2 .
There are some epic surf sessions and segments in this film . The Malloy bros in Ireland was awesome . I like the girl section with Rochelle Ballard . Laird Hamilton obviously has some serious footage in this film with big wave riding and also the "hydrofoil" board . Most of well known top pro surfers of the early 2000s are in this film . The music and soundtrack is good also . They film different locations of the world . Pretty much every ocean and even the Great Lakes and some rivers .
To me the most touching and inspirational story part , was Jesse who was a pro or upcoming pro at one point , who injured his back surfing. He is permanently paralyzed. They help him out ( Rob Machado) and friends push him into waves belly riding his surf board . That part really hits home , losing a uncle to MS , who was in a wheelchair before he died .
Some great footage of Taj , Kelly , Robert August , also the Santa Cruz surfers like Peter Mel and Skindog and Barney . The last scene is in South America in Chile .
I really get jealous however , being a pro surfer to travel around the world to beautiful places to surf and that's their job , that's the only drawback about watching This .
I've surfed Southern California since I was 16 , it's fun and great . But I might possibly ever surf places like Costa Rica , Tahiti , or Hawaii every year like pro surfers do , I'm sure most people who surf and then 9-5 feel the same way . But that's why we watch these films is to get stoked ! Enjoy.
