Surf Reviews of Videos, Books, and Magazines.

The Endless Summer: Okay, many surf reviews have already been done about this. Just watch it if you haven't seen it and dream of a time when waves weren't so crowded.

The Far Shore: This was a great movie. I like the "we're just a couple of average guys going on a surf trip" concept. I don't need to watch endless videos of the pros doing stuff I will never and could never do. Plus contest footage gets boring after a while. It's what these guys did to get to the surf that makes it interesting.

100ft Wednesday: Documentary of Mavericks 21 Nov 01, biggest day ever documented at Mavericks. After watching my shaky, foggy film of Mavericks, you can see the the good shots on this video. Watching it up close on video is a lot better than seeing if from the crowded, distant cliffs. The surf review of my own video is that it sucks but it is realistic.

Dogtown and Z-Boys: Although a skate documentary, these guys and girls were all surfers. It is worthy of a surf review because of the old pics, videos, and talk about POP pier. I liked this documentary better than the movie with the Brokeback Mountain guy.

Yoga for Surfers: Let's face it...stretching is boring. This video at least moves through a good post-surf loosening routine in about 20 minutes. Some nice wave shots make it slightly more interesting.

Surf Books

Total Surfing Fitness: This is a digital download. Excellent exercise routines and nutrition tips for any surfer. Three levels of surf-centric workouts that will improve any surfers wave count.

The World Stormrider Guide Volume 1: Great travel reference for surf spots. As a vicarious escape, I like reading about places where I'll probably never go. There are many more from this publisher. These books; as well as the Northern, Central, and Southern California guides are all now available as high quality downloads for your immediate gratification. If you want access to the entire planet, and the best deal, try the passport.

California Surf Guide: Another good reference for California surf spots. Cool swell maps in this book, especially for southern California.
