Customer Reviews
The tradition goes on
This is more than a surf flick; it's a real movie in the tradition of other Brown family members' work (Endless Summer, Step Into Liquid). I would put it into the travel/adventure genre and on the DVD there's a bonus documentary of the filming of the movie. Both would appeal to anyone who has been to Peru or is contemplating a trip there. It even includes the obligatory trip to Machu Picchu. If you're a surfer and want nothing but non-stop cutbacks, floaters, backside hacks and the occasional aerial, try Hit & Run by Taylor Steele. I can dig it but for a film to show your non-surfing friends without boring them to death - that has all that and a lot more - check this out.
it's worth watching
We watched this one as a family last night and enjoyed much of it. It was a solid effort and it carries the same beautiful vibe as the Endless Summer. Fun for the whole family, though it would take just a bit more for me to give it 5 stars (let's be realistic here). I saw it featured for the first time yesterday on the "Summer Picks" table at a local bookstore. I would have picked it up here if I hadn't had a gift card to get rid of. It's worth adding to your collection. So where's the soundtrack?
a different kind of surf video
This video is a little different from the mainstream of the young guns series and whatnot. It goes into talking about the country of Peru itself and its history of the sport (which may surprise you). Of course there is amazing scenery and incredible beaches with no crowds that can just get you all sorts of excited, and then it shows a little more of the traveler/adventurer lifestyle of the surfers taking the trip.
All and all, I really enjoy the video from the laid back music they play to the great surf they show. This is the perfect video after a long surf when all you want is to throw back a beer and take a nap with a video in the background. Enjoy!
