Surf Videos

Surf Videos Commercial filmmaking and surfing have been linked for over half a century. Beginning with Bud “Barracuda” Browne’s early surf movies like Hawaiian Holiday, the genre progressed due to the efforts of legendary filmmakers like Bruce Brown (Endless Summer), Greg MacGillivray and Jim Freeman (Five Summer Stories). With the advent of “cutting-edge” VCR technology in the eighties, movies about surfing became the cinematic methadone wave hounds needed to combat withdrawal symptoms from long flat spells or gnarly injuries. Eventually, cheaper cameras and an expanding audience led to a slew of low to medium budget surf film classics which continued to spread the influence of surfing on an international scale. Our offering of surf movies is a healthy cross section of wave riding on film and ranges from the classic to the quirky (check out Captain Surf and the Tube Dudes…), any one of which will make a fantastic addition to any surf movie collection.
