George Greenough: You might be in there for only a few seconds---in real time---but in your head it goes on for hours. It is an experience that's hard to describe, riding inside of a big, grinding wave. Often you're riding so deep inside the tube, you don't make it out. You take a terrible wipe out. What matters is when you're in there, it's the time interval when you're inside the wave. Time enters space, a zone of its own. The only reality is what's happening right then.See more »

This documentary follows a surfer as he searches for a place where he can surf in peace. We follow him as he builds boats to sail to remote spots and lives off the ocean under a soundtrack of 70's music.
Big Wednesday, Point Break….both enjoyable movies with surfing in them. This is not included with those – this is as dull as ditch water and not as tasty! The story doesn't exist – I know this is a documentary, but it still needs to be interesting. The film follows the narrator as he lives off the ocean, makes a boat and eats fish. He offers no insight into the passion behind surfing but offers only some half-assed philosophy that sounds like he's been drinking the salt-water.
The deepest insight we get is a line where he says the shape of his boat was told to him by aliens in a dream he had…it doesn't get better than that. In fact it doesn't even know how to fill the time – all scenes are played under a constant soundtrack, but most scenes are dull. The worst being a 5 minute scene of the crew messing with cameras!
The only interesting bit is the last 15 minutes where all shots are from a camera on a surf board while Pink Floyd plays underneath, some of the shots are simply beautiful and technically pretty hot. However even this gets dull and repetitive after a bit.
Overall this is a waste of 80 minutes – dull, dull, dull. I don't know where he is – but Greenough should be found, brought to my house and made to apologise!
