Riding Giants Movie Review 2004

Director Stacy Peralta does for surfing what she did for skateboarding in "Dogtown and Z-Boys" by capturing the consummate skill and infectious enthusiasm of those who dominate the sport. Includes an animated mini-history that sardonically traces surfing from its Polynesian roots through the 20th century.
