Riding Giants (2004)
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0389326/]
The Gist:
I have to admit, I had some issues with the structure in the beginning of the film. However, after this documentary was over I was floored and I think I might have been quibbling. Regardless, this is a doc on big wave surfers, people who ride 20-30 feet waves, stuff like that. It examines the history of the movement, the counter culture that it developed from, the more minute details and technical aspects, and most importantly it offers a brief glimpse into the visceral experience of big wave surfing and the kind of personalities that are drawn to it. It's pretty badass, all in all.
