The Endless Summer Collection (1966) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These films are like the 80's movies that made everything that mattered happen. Ferris, Goonies, Breakfast Club, etc . . . except they are surfing classics, epic documentaries if you will.
**Bruce Brown has the classic surfer aesthetic, and narrates each film poignantly and humorously.
Endless Summer 1 is the classic older film, paced a little more slowly and fun-lovingly. It sets a great preface to Endless 2, an incredible multi-hemisphere journey.
Both films have excellent cinematography as well as dialogue and interplay between characters. Endless 2 is as goofily trivial as it is deep, as beautiful as it is mundane. . .
There are gorgeous scenery shots that do Cape Town, Indonesia, Figi, (my fav) and Alaska, justice as incredible places not only to surf, but also to just be.
Our two fascinating and yin and yang protagonists, 1, a Pat O'Connell gives suffusively satisfying short board licks, and 2, a. wing-nut supplies all of the long board smoothness to coalesce.
Five stars, in my to 25 of all time. A truly beautiful film made by those who love life.

Bruce Brown 6-Pack (The Endless Summer / Barefoot Adventure / Surf Crazy / Surfing Hollow Days / Slippery When Wet / Surfin' Shorts) (Amazon.com Exclusive) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Walking The West "Hiking 2600 miles from Mexico to Canada. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is great documentary, made in a refreshingly bare-bones fashion - just the adventure, the passion, the joys, and the hardships. Watch it if you want to hike the PCT, or at least if you want to capture what living is really about.

Product Description Winner "Best Documentary" California Independent Film Festival (2002). "Walking the West" is an adventure Documentary about a New Zealander and an Irishman who quit their jobs and walk 2626 miles from Mexico to Canada along one of the longest foot trails in the world, the Pacific Crest Trail. This ridge crest route passes through some of the most spectacular scenery in North America including California deserts,the alpine lakes and granite peaks of the Sierras Nevada, and the massive volcanoes and temperate rainforests of the Cascades. Walking 21 miles a day for 4.5 months, they must cross the Canadian border before winter storms hit the cascades. The ordeal forced one of them to quit just 60 miles before the finish. This Documentary shows the changes that occur when two Urbanites escape civilization, venture into the wilderness and push their bodies and minds to the limits of their endurance. Film Festivals include 2002 California Independent Film Festival, 2003 Ashland Film Festival, 2003 Orinda film festival, 2005 Vancouver international Mountian film festival.
