Can that be real??
Added 1/20/2009
Worth it all for the first 3 minutes; can that be real?....It is. Overall not quite as entertaining as "Step Into Liquid", but a great time none-the-less.

A Mix of Incredible Surfing Imagery and Intro to Surfing Basics
Added 9/12/2008
The opening sequence of surfer Mike Parsons dropping down the face of a gigantic wave is mesmerizing. That sequence alone is almost worth the price of purchase, but there is plenty of other amazing, jaw-dropping video to admire that makes this video attractive to anyone with affinity for wave and board sports. You do get a chance to let your attention drift from time to time as the story drags on the less interesting filler. The pontification about wave formation and rescue training for the Billabong team is a bit overdone, but these section allow the adrenaline to subside a bit before launching into more spectacular footage. The short pieces on kite boarding, wind-surfing aerobatics, and hydroplane boards are interesting filler, too. This is a good video both for those already deep into the sport and for those who only want to frolic in the water for a while.

Interesting. Great footage.
Added 4/21/2008
Great footage. Not really a very in depth movie. I think I was hoping for surfing/tropical beaches - a "take me on vacation from the comfort of my couch" movie. It is not. But it is a really interesting documentary on big wave and tow-in surfing.

i don't surf, but i enjoy this movie. there aren't a lot of girls in bikinis in billabong odyssey, which will bother some people, but i appreciate it (if you want to see girls in bikinis, watch blue crush).

Super video!
Added 10/25/2009
My husband and I go to the North Shore of Oahu twice a year to watch the the adrenalin-charged maniacs ride monumental walls of water. In an effort to try to take photographs to capture these monsters to bring home to show friends and family, until we get a HD movie camera, we found something better--Riding Giants. This has to be the best big wave riding video ever made! If you want to really see what surfing is all about and hear the liquid thunder of these waves, then this video is a MUST! You will not be disappointed.

Larry H. has nothing else to do but surf. He can not make or fix anything useful. Typical.
