Some of the best (modern surf films list)

What is modern? How far back can we go?

"Muscle Beach Clam Bake"

"Duke Kahanamoku Wins Gold"

 

Charlie Chaplin and Fatty Arbuckle tame wild Hawaii.

 

Blue Horizon- Jack McCoy

About Andy and Rasta, competitive vs freesurf lifestyles basically.

Fatty Arbuckle lol, that guy was da Man. Old Skool Perv

 

Beach Blanket Bingo with Annette Funicello!!!

 

'Step Into Liquid' has some great footage. Depends on your Laird tolerance level I guess.

While I suppose it's no more dangerous and insane than Teahupoo, etc... the idea of Cortes Bank creeps me out. 100 miles off shore, deep ocean all around, sharks, monstrous waves, etc...

step into liquid sucks
litmus rules

 

Agree on Step into Liquid--extremely lame.
Have not seen litmus.

 

My favorite movies are pretty dated now. Nobody surfs on single fins anymore, and nobody considers Wiamea, Sunset Beach or Ala Moana the Diamond Standard of Surfing. I still enjoy watching them, but it's almost painful watching what passed as a rad cutback or a slashing off-the-lip. Surfing has progressed massively the last 35 years with the advent of the Thruster. But I still enjoy power surfing over the air game, sliders and tube dodging.

EDIT: I like watching movies of big monster slabs the best, though. Nobody was doing that sh1t back in the day

 

I enjoyed Blue Horizon for the insane production quality, and JJF's next-level surfing. Seeing it on a big screen was pretty cool.

I like the rawness of Timmy Turner's Indo docs. Burning the Map and Second Thoughts.
