No Friends 3
reviewed by George
This video is THE boadyboarding video. The NF crew stuns us yet again with 'This is your life'. Never have I seen a video that amps me like this one does. Skip, Hubbard, Andre and Roach hit places like the Philippeans, Indo, Pipe, California and Puerto-Rico. With flying air fowards and huge backflips, deep, deep pits and kegs, painfully good DK sections and painful wipe-outs. Needless to say, Stoker has come up with the goods in the edititing suit, he's put it together like a dream and with music for everyone (rock, pop, rap, chill, its got them all) this is the best bodyboarding video ever.
VERDICT: If you haven't got this video, get it. If you have, watch it again and again!
Billabong Challenge 1995
reviewed by Greg
Now pretty old, this vid from '95 still gets me stoked. This video was a bold new direction in surfing, in that instead of a few pro's pulling off some moves in some crap waves in a 2 day event, this is held over 14 days with the surfers enduring a dangerous shark infested reef and harsh elements for the ultimate challenge. Slater and Garcia really kick ass, as well as Rob Machado and Jonny Boy Gomes.
Surfers: Mark Occhihulpo, Kelly Slater, Sunny Garcia, Rob Machado, Shane Powell, Johnny Boy Gomes, Brendan Margieson and Paul Patterson.
VERDICT:worth borrowing off a mate, but there are better vids.
Endless Summer 2
reviewed by Greg
Thirty years after the original Endless Summer was released, Bruce Brown Made the second installment. starring Pat O'Connell and 'Wingnut'. two guys chase the summer round the world, in search of the best waves. Some great spots and heaps of action with guest pro surfers. lots of laughs, although some are obviously set up. a great feel good surf movie.
VERDICT:Makes a worthy and solid addition to any surfing video collection
Loose Change
reviewed by Greg
Finally! Someone (Taylor Steele)has come up with the idea to make a surf movie with a plot and some real acting. And here it is: Loose Change. some amazing footage, and Rob Machado asking the world's pro's: what if they didn't surf?
SURFERS: Kelly Slater, Shane Dorian, Rob Machado, Taylor Knox, Bruce Irons, Tim Curran and many more...
VERDICT: This is the one we've all been waiting for: not to be missed
