Beautifully filmed...December 19, 2006 This is a gorgeous film to watch. The DVD comes with a book of photographs and the packaging is very high quality. The scenery and travel shots in this movie are worthy of hanging on a wall. The surfing locations are more exotic than the norm, which is a nice change - and the music is also paired well and in fact, I hope they release a cd as I'd purchase it. It really is a unique surfing film from the many others I've seen. However, the one big disappointment was there's no narrative, and I personally would've liked to know where they were during each session, what beaches, who was surfing etc, along with the usual entertaining travel tales expected from such a journey. There is a DVD option for "director's commentary" that gives some background - but interviews with the surfers and more on the why/what/where/when/how and especially, how interacting with locals, was something I really wanted to know more about to. (and i know this is a surf film first, but I think those extras would've really enhanced this film) Still, it's worth watching and makes a really nice gift to any surfing enthusiast - and anyone who enjoys travel photography.
