Pedestrian surf film, pieced together of archival footage and present-day talking heads, in salute to the pioneers of wave-riding. ("It was George Downing who carved the mold from which all other big-wave riders were cast," etc. ) The earlier pioneers, pre-Gidget, are more credible as pioneers, and their photo documentation has more charm. Directed by Stacy Peralta. (2004) — Duncan Shepherd
