Just a few nominations: Endless Summer(original...but the follow ups were good too) Chasing Mavericks Soul Surfer(have YOU tried to surf with one arm?) Point Break (How did Keanu Reeves get missed for an academy award?) What's your pick? Any others that you want to mention?
Endless Summer I & II, really like number II with Pat & Wingnut. September Sessions Thicker Than Water Chasing The Lotus Riding Giants Who is J O B
BIG WEDNESDAY, hands down... Gary Busy, "Airwolf", and the "Greatest American Hero". What more could anyone ask for!?
Big Wednesday, North Shore, and Point Break. PS The dude who plays Turtle is also one of the Ex Presidents in Point break
I thouht his name was Turdhole. Did you see the blooper in big wednesday? at the end when J.M.Vencent was walking with the gun bear made, the emergency vehicle hits the tail of the board.
Wanted to see a Deeper Shade of Blue, couldn't make it in time. Does anyone know if its going come out on DVD? Endless Summer 2 Next on my watch list Big Wednesday September Sessions Thicker Than Water
As cheesy as it is, I vote for 'In God's Hands.' Ton of real and good surfers in it, and just as cheesy as North Shore. Plus, Shane Dorian is the main character! You just can't beat the one liners in North Shore though. You can watch In God's Hands for free on hulu.com under movies-do a simple search.
+1... Dora!!! I had the poster growing up but never actually saw the friggin movie. Totally forgot about it. Now I must see
In this order... Big Wednesday..Surfs Up..Point Break..Surfer Dude...Last but not least.. In Gods Hands..Dorians quotes are epicly hilarious.
When I lived on the left coast, I used to drink with Jan Michael Vincent & Gary Busey at Trancas Bar in Malibu. Located just off PCH on Trancas Canyon Road. Trancas was the definition of a dive bar before the term was invented by yuppies trying to be cool. A stinking sticky hellhole with more brawls per weekend than most places I've ever been. It was our regular place, though. Don't think it's there anymore? We'd also hang with Robert Conrad, a stone alky who would pop 20 beers in one sitting & then drive home - - but Bob didn't surf. I remember one night when Busey, totally hammered, got on a moto in the Trancas Market parking lot & crashed into something; his injuries thus delaying the start of some movie he was featured in. And Vincent would constantly be taken home by Malibu cops when he got nasty with women who brought him home 'cause the women reckoned that he was still a Disney boy toy. Vincent was a really mean drunk; when he hit the chicas, it usually didn't make the press in those days. Keehrist, those guys were all insane wild things. There's absolutely no point to this anecdote. Thank you.
