(1) I have seen Blue Crush, and it is better than the previews would have led me to believe. Kate Bosworth needs more screen time.

(2) Endless Summer was discussed in Riding Giants, and not favorably. Most of the surfers who were surfing before the film was released criticised it for failing to accurately protraying surfers and their lifestyles, and also for failing to show the difficulty of their sport. Consequently, they felt that it led many "poseurs" into surfing. Probably Greg Brady. The few clips shown were used to demonstrate their point - surfer, in a closed up with an obviously fake background, cut away to surfer in distance riding a wave.

I am not a huge surfing fan, but I do like the surfing documentaries I have seen because, while they are about surfing, the surfing, for me, is merely a clothesline to see and learn about people who are willing to sacrifice so much, and willingly test the limits of their bodies and minds. When the sport began, there was no glory, no money, and no crowds. That is dedication. I am not sure a drama could adequately capture the depth of their dedication, though Blue Crush was fun to watch.
