Surfing/Snowboarding Movies and Documentaries? - BooBooQ88 - 2011-02-17

Hey peoples

So I am a surfer and snowboarder who loves watching surfing and snowboarding movies and documentaries. Just wondering if there are any good ones from Japan and/or in Japanese.

Examples:
-Step into Liquid
-Riding Giants
-First Decent
-Endless Summer 1 & 2

Thanks!

Don't know any specific shows but all of the snowboarding and surfing magazines in Japan come with monthly DVDs.

I did notice that at least some of them do come with DVDs. In fact, I picked up a copy of Surfin' Life from Kinokuniya (in Costa Mesa) that had a DVD in it... but the audio was all in English and video quality was extremely bad :/

I had some that were in Japanese. Usually just a music video plus a guy explaining some tricks.

here's a transcript of a short video i made ages ago: http://forum.koohii.com/showthread.php?tid=4199

there are tons of videos, but loads of them are just music, so it can be difficult to find...

A swell travels just under the surface the length of an ocean, then ripens when the conditions are right into a wave. When its energy is spent, it crashes and returns indistinguishable from every other drop of water into the sea.
