Riding Giants

Saw this on HDNET the other night, then found a copy at Blockbuster for sale. A documentary produced and directed by Stacy Peralta (Dogtown and Z Boys fame), chronicling the history of "big-wave" surfing. Very informative, fabulous cinematography, and, according to the subjects of the film, 100% authentic depiction of the sport and those that made it what it is. It was the opening selection of the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. If you are a fan of surfing, or sports in general, I think you will very much enjoy this film.
