This video is about two contests that took place a year or two ago. I think they're both the Billabong Super Challenge. One of the contests takes place somewhere in the South Pacific and the other one at supposed secret spots in Australia.
Pros:
Great cinematography. This video is unique in the fact that some waves have three different angles on them (from the back, traditional water shot, and boat/land shot). There is a great section of the video in which the regulars charge 15ft hellbombs. One particular sequence that sticks out in my mind is this power carve Sunny does on a big wave. Half the screen shows his slash in slo-mo while a little square a la PIP shows Occy and the others' reaction to his turn.
Cons:
The music is a brave attempt to break away from typical surf vid music. However, some of the songs really get on your nerves. The one that still makes me grind my teeth is the one where the girl shrills out "I need some headroom, I need some room to breathe...". This song, coupled with a shot of Kalani that makes him look like a Japanese teeny-bopper with headphones on, set me on edge for some weird reason.
