I always had a soft spot for Big Wednesday.
You hit the nail on the head Oliver with 'Big Wednesday'...

I also liked Morning of the Earth for it's arty/hypnotic aussie inspired effects, it's been a long time since I saw it though.
Oliver I'll have to lend you my latest favorite surfing movie.

Check out this trailer.. I was so disappointed that the song in the trailer (Finding my way by Rush) was not in the finished film.

Endless Summer 1 is great and endless summer 2 s plane trash/crash is unmissable for a party. Latest and greatest is young guns 2, the vid angles and surfing are so freakin good and lubrication 3 from adam kennedy has some of the biggest and best west oz ever seen. I frof on vids. cheers party on.
one Californian day is brilliant! seen about 3/4 of it

Tales from the tube 1975
As you can see Im a sucker for vintage surf vids
Just watched "Morning of the Earth" last night - what a great movie. I've got Riding Giants and Endless Summer on cue for tonight. I'll save Big Wednesday and Bra Boys for another night.
Live looks good DJ, would also love to see some more of those 70s movies as well.
George greenough, the original tube riding movie. George straps a camera to his back and shoots film from inside the tube looking out.

I've been having a bit of a marathon on the surf movies of late and if you haven't seen One Californian Day... as Molly Meldrum would say "do yourself a favour". It's basically a series of life stories from surfers/shapers who live on the Californian Coast and their passion for the sport and their stretch of coastline - great soundtrack also which helps.
After watching it I'd really love to travel the Californian coast one day.
