then again I'm a sucker for surfing movies. I live right next to the beach and enjoy being out in the ocean, not surfing, but body surfing. And I know how big a 6 foot wave looks when your head is bobbing just above the water. And I know how much a 6 foot wave can push you around. So when I see these guys riding waves the size of multistory buildings, I have a visceral thrill- and of course I will never experience this in real life, it would be certain death. I liked all 3 parts of this movie for different reasons and I think Stacy Peralta did a marvelous job of providing a narrative thread and a main character in each segment. A few years ago, PBS showed a documentary on Mavericks, it is well worth checking out.
