Best surf movies needed (xmas list)

[comish]

Looking for opinions on the best surf movies. i'm not necesarily looking for the raddest of the rad, but more something along the lines of Immersion or if there is a Stumpy comparable that would be great.

Just compiling the Xmas list.

[Superstar Punani]

They're reeeeally hard to find online and in surf shops, But I'd have to go with....

Billabong Surf Into Summer (1986)
Billabong Filthy Habits (1988)
Occy, Sunny Garcia, Richie Collins, Ronnie Burns, etc....

Timeless no-bullshit power surfing from the pre-Slater aerial movement with a kick-ass 80s punk music soundtrack from TSOL and Agent Orange.

Then you got the Jack McCoy Billabong Series shot in 16mm with kickass soundtrack.
Sons of Fun
The Green Iguana (My favorite)
Sick Joy



If you're into the newer shit check out the Taylor Steele Vids:
Good Times, Loose Change, The Show, Hit n Run.....

Big Wednesday - not a true surf film, per se, but a good flick

I really enjoyed Step Into Liquid, but you probably already have that.

That's all I've got because, well, I don't surf.

morning of the earth
shelter
thicker than water

[Woodsy]

have some one purcahase riding giants
ships the first week of Jan.

[hop]

anything by the moonshine conspiracy is good. I prefer the more soulful (gag choke cough did I just say that??) and artfully done movies to the rockin' radness surf porn. I also really like TGR's Gondwana, and I hope they have another on the way with stuff from Norwayland.

[Helicrackjnky]

Thicker Than Water is a must have!!
Laird-- Not bad some sick action on some narly ass big waves
Drive through
7 Summer Stories-- Old School Classic
That should be a start

[comish]

Seen Riding Giants and Step into Liquid and Laird.

Hop, I'm with you on the style of vid I'm looking for. Hence the Immersion reference.

Thanks doods

[mountainbored]

Billabong XXL for some serious big wave tow-in.
Moonshine Conspiracy for sure, like September Sessions(short but sweet).
Can you get Free Ride on DVD, hmmm? My first great surf film.

[snow_slider]

North Shore.

"Here on the North Shore, we treat friends more betta."

That is all.

[dude_le_skibum]

i second all the moonshine conspiracy shit

[cj001f]

Add me to the Moonshine Conspiracy chorus. They've got a new film out A Broke down Melody anyone seen it?

[Lane Meyer]

North Shore.

"Here on the North Shore, we treat friends more betta."

That is all.

Glad someone else is thinking like I am.

Turtle: Stay loose, haole.
Rick: What's a haole?
Turtle: A tourist, a mainlander, like you.
Rick: I'm not a tourist.
Turtle: Whatever, Barney.
Rick: What's a Barney?
Turtle: It's like Barno... Barnyard... a haole to the max, a kook in and out of the water. Yeah?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rick: So this is where you work Turtle?
Turtle: Only when da surf's bad, Barney. Cause' when da surf's good, nobody works

i was gonna drop by the shop to see if it's showed up yet.

they also distributed thomas campbell's "sprout", but i didn't think all that much of it.

[Superstar Punani]

North Shore.

That is all.

Go back to Arizona, haole, and leave local girl alone!

[tywhy]

immersion was tailored after "September Sessions" if I'm not wrong

that, Thicker than Water, and Shelter are all fucking awesome.

[Pura Vida]

Go back to Arizona, haole, and leave local girl alone!

Some other North Shore gems:

"Yeah, right — design thing. Design me out of the picture, haole" - turtle

"only when the surfs bad, barno, cause when the surfs good, no body works!" -turtle

"When the wave breaks here, don't be there, or you're gonna get drilled!" -turtle

"Your unreal barney, try get back, whoa, flying cockroach these things so big they fly off with little baby barneys and shit" -turtle

"You take his stuff, you poun' em." -vince

"Yo haole boy! I thought I told you go home allready" -loc

"You try to do her or what? You did, that's why your face is all busted up." -turtle

"Scrub it kook" -loc

Yup. Has a nice, mellow feel to it.

[JMO]

You probably already thought of these but:

Endless Summer I and II

classics

[KevinDineen]

For classics, there's one that I think is called 4 summer sessions, or something. Old classic Lightning Bolt boards in pipe, and a sweet freestyle skiing segment.
