Just finished watching this. Better than most of the crap surf movies out there, and at nearly an hour and a half long, it's a real treat.

Great insight into the history of the spot, some interesting cameo interviews from THE LAIRD, and some mind-blowing surfing. The cinematography really shows just how fast that wave moves. Can't imagine what it's like paddling around that line-up...

Also, the crew there seem solid and likeable for the most part. Surprising considering how far they raise the bar of big wave surfing.

Anyone else seen it yet? Downloadable on iTunes...

Bout a good 37 minutes in, so far I'm really digging it.
Found myself holding my breathe a couple of times.
Those guys are on a different level for sure...

Cheers

Some of the Jaws angles really show how ridiculous it is. Just rolls in, hits the reef, then goes full slab. Also, really shows Albee's stoke and commitment to get that wave at the end. I really enjoyed it. Good story, great waves.
