I'm probably in the minority, but I prefer watching the more documentary style surf films if I'm going to just sit down and watch the whole thing. One California Day, One Track Mind, Singlefin Yellow, Riding Giants (although it does feature Laird which is a distinct negative). Otherwise I'll just watch short films online. Those films are also easier to watch with people who aren't surfers (ie my wife).

gift for you. Editing is a little horrible and it could probably be condensed down to 1 hour.

i hate slow motion
I like it for some up close stuff like sickgnar drops into the kegpit of darkness, hacks inna hook, stuff Dane does that I can't even tell what I saw, Curren's layback one-big-toe control fakie bodysurf recovery at J Bay back the day....

I am guessing the clip you're referring to didn't have any of that.

Bustin Down the Door!

- Never get tired of that documentary. Emotional, full blown high speed single fin surfing in pumping Hawaii, and an amazing story.

Also this little edit of TK on my favorite all time board design just dropped today too!
