The Innermost Limits of Pure Fun - Filmed and edited by George Greenough
This release is essential watching because it is a cinematic masterwork of the highest magnitude. Greenough chronicles ground zero of the shortboard revolution as it evolved in 1968...the prime instigators' perspective of the innovations that changed surfing...distinctive, improvisational soundtrack which was scored on the spot. "So much has always been made of the incredible photography that we've forgotten the action - which is incredible. The genesis of modern style, tube and roundhouse surfing." Sam George, Surfer Magazine "Mezmerizing." Tom Curren - $24.95

Big Wednesday. Warner Bros.
Jan-Michael Vincent plays a self-destructive beach bum to whom surfing is a Zen experience. We first meet Vincent in the devil-may-care 1960s, in the company of his carefree buddies William Katt and Gary Busey. The boys reunite ten years later, after one has served time in Vietnam. The beach is still there, the waves still break upon the shore, and towards the end of the film, the characters become people that we truly care about. Barbara Hale, the real-life mother of costar William Katt, makes a piquant supporting appearance. Cut from 129 minutes to 104 for its pay-cable release, Big Wednesday is also known as Summer of Innocence. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide. $26.95
