So I own:

Billabong Odyssey
Step Into Liquid
Riding Giants

While I didn't enjoy Blue Crush as much as I hoped to, I've always been looking for other surf films

Suggest some for me :D

The original is Endless Summer, I think it's by Bruce Brown. Endless Summer 2 is supposed to be good too.

There's a documentary just on Mavericks that's supposed to be really really good. It's just called Maverick's: A Documentary. Came out in 1998.

But I haven't seen anything match Riding Giants. Great flick.

What did you think of Step into Liquid? Heard it was good, but haven't seen it myself.

I really liked Step Into Liquid, it probably had the best production values out of all three

I'd recommend you watch it, I kind of feel that all three films are like an unofficial trilogy because they overlap and expand on different parts of surfing
