Great movie, epic waves. Good to see two guys still frothing at their age.

Shippes, what a monster....

as far as im aware, ace subi, midland and rockingham are hosting it. i think there have been some further dates released, not sure though - check out it. i saw yesterday that it was shown at some toronto film festival and got a 5 out of 5 rating. its pretty darn good! went with dad who isnt a surfer and he was blown away. he was astounded at how they can carry their gopros with them on the wave without stacking it, especially at shippies.

just gotta say, i love it when they're about to go on their final mission and the statement was made, 'this is do or die'. haha, way to hype up a surf mission!

that was definitely the case. many of the helicopter shots didnt really capture the full impact of the size of the waves, but some of the shots taken from a more horizontal level really blow you away - like the first shot.

it was also great hearing the reaction from the audience when there was a wipeout or tom and rcj were playing around with their boys toys.

Family and i checked it out in 3D at event cinemas Sat night.

Really enjoyable. I loved the footage from Ours (spelling?). That and RCJ's description. "It was like a midget flipped me on my head"

That and when Tommy rode the ski over the falls. RCJ again said "i don't mind you going over the falls and wrecking the ski, as long as you didn't jump of like a girl"

Highly recomended
