    Enjoyed this. Excellent filming.

    Not sure about Tudor or Knost in terms of why they do what they do, but props on the surfing aspects 'cause both guys are certainly tremendous surfers.

    I think they are both excellent surfers with really rad style and I love to watch them surf but their strict anti-thruster mentality is kind of lame. It's almost like they think they are too cool to ride a standard shortboard or they talk down on it. I think a true well rounded surfer rides everything.

    I totally hear ya. That's why I mentioned that I'm not sure about them, they come off as a bit condescending, maybe more than a bit, but I wasn't sure if that's a correct impression from the film.

    Haven't watched the film yet but I've read articles / interviews in Surfer from both of these guys and both seem to have a chip on their shoulders, I believe I saw something about them getting picked on or getting into fights with people because they like to LB or w/e. I dunno, my memory is a bit fuzzy but I believe that's the jist of it. I've never had anybody give me a hard time in person for any type of equipment I've brought in the water, not even the SUP. I suppose if someone did try and mess with me it'd end up in a fight really quick, but not once has anybody had the balls to say a negative word to me in or out of the water at the beach. Only happens here on SI HAHAHA

    It is a bit weird that they say they have a "ride everything" approach yet, at the same time, knock people riding quads in 2ft surf... Anyway I like how they give guys like Ryan Burch and Justin Quintal (east coast!!) credibility and a forum to showcase their talents. I think overall its a good thing.

    I got more of a "use what's right for the conditions" approach from the film. I definately think it is frustrating trying to surf small waves on a shortboard. I took out the longboard Sunday and had a great time. Great film. Made me want a ten footer instead of a nine. Thanks for posting.

    I didn't see it, but was there a "No Surfers were burned or dropped-in on during the making of this Documentary" message?

    Yeah kind of hypocritical they way they say ride everything but abhor modern equipment. And SUP the reason the sh!t talk only happens here is because:
