STEP INTO LIQUIDDDDDD.

Just watched this classic surf documentary. all I can say is...WHAAATTT!?!?! 
I had never heard of this doc before, until my friend showed it to me. UNREAL. This documentary followed a multitude of rad surfers all over the globe who chase waves because of one reason - they love it. What shone through this movie was the passion these surfers have man! Its insane the huge waves they chase...and it is ridiculous how brave they must be to catch these. It was also really cool to see some famous surfers in their younger years ( Slater, Machado, Taj Burrows)...and they proved to me once again how timeless and ageless a sport like surfing is. This documentary really portrayed some surfers who chase HUGE (by huge I mean like 60+ ft) waves by the only means possible...a jetski. Another part I really liked about this movie was the different types of surfing they showed. They showed the classic prime location of Pipeline in Hawaii, maui, and spots in souther cali (San clemente, San onofre) but also showed how people are passionate about surfing in places like Texas, Michigan, etc. WHO KNEW?! ALSO...whoaaaa check this out...some dude who lives up north (forget his name) has committed to surf EVERY SINGLE DAY. EVERY DAY. no questions. He's been doing it for the past 25 years and said that he was aiming to surf everyday till 2004 (this is an old movie). This dude worked through a pile of wetsuits, a bunch of surf wax....and does it purely for the love. 

WOW. This documentary rocked. Every surfer should see it. no doubt. Loved every minute of it...and it made me wanna get out there for one reason only - the love of the water.
