Summary: You gotta love a movie whose star is named "Wingnut"
Review: This movie is pure goofy fun. Great footage of surfers doing their thing in some of earth's most beautiful places. The humor is so goofy and cheesy that you can't help laughing and cheering your way through the movie. On a winter's night after playing all day in the snow, O'Connell and Weaver are the perfect guides to endless summer fun......

Summary: Great Movie
Review: This is a great surfing film that shows the lives of surfers, both what they do and who they are. I highly recommend this flick for anyone who has ever surfed or thought about riding a wave. Once again Bruce Brown has out done himself.
Rating: 
Summary: Umm....Wheres Widescreen???
Review: This film is the epitome of surf films. Bruce Brown is the standard in which anyone who makes a surf film should be measured to. Great Cinematogrophy, great camera angles, great sufers to make the main charachters. Robert "wingnut" Weaver, and Pat O'connel are a perfect pair to make someone want to go out, and brave the treacherous ocean for that rush of adrenaline, joy, and most of all an ear to ear smile. This film is just plain fun to watch over, and over. From Costa Rica, to Cloud Break, Surfing with Laird and the Boys, this is a must for any surf enthusiasts, and anyone that likes to laugh, listen to great music, and see beautiful images of aquamarine. Now for my one and only gripe about this DVD...WHERE THE HELL IS THE WIDESCREEN VERSION???????? WHERE THE HELL IS THE 5.1 SURROUND SOUND??? This DVD looks like it was printed by 12 year olds! These reasons were the only reasons I rated this DVD a 4 star venture. Had it been in Widescreen and 5.1 I would have rated it 10 stars!!!! The first thing you may notice when you purchase this DVD is it looks like a bootleg copy. The cover looks like your friend Jimmy made it on his home Pc. Pretty much a poor effort in post production here Monterey. You guys suck! Wheres Artisan when you need them??? Artisan PLEASE pick this up and make a widescreen version!!!!! Step Into Liquid is how a surfing film DVD should be released!!!! Kudos to Artisan!!!(Monterey take some tips)

Summary: BEEEEEEESSSSSTTTTTT EVERRRRRR
Review: The transfer is not widescreen, so you cannot see the outer edges of the film. For a film that spends so much time on shots of WAVES which are HORIZONTAL ("THINK McFly! THINK!"), this is unbelievable to me!Fullscreen only?! ARGH! lol "<SSSK> EXECUTIVE PRODUCER MICHAEL HARPSTER, PLEASE REPORT TO MY OFFICE" When I put the DVD in my cheap-o Mintek player (my Sony player finally gave up the ghost) it just loops endlessly through the FBI Warning, the Monterey Media Splash screen and the Movie Splash screen. This way, I get to see over and over again exactly who the incompetent folks are who are responsible for this sad adaptation to DVD format! Monterey Media! Hooray! I am only able to get to the root menu by pressing the "MENU" button at *exactly* the right moment during this looping. The root menu has two links that go to the same Special Features screen, which is silly and confusing. And the "Scene Access" link just takes me to that same Special Features screen! LOL However, the movie itself plays just fine, with good sound and picture quality. And there are three Special Feature shows of about 20 minutes each that had some cool stuff in them, although again, production quality was pretty sad. WHY IS IT TAKING THE MOVIE BIZ SO LONG TO GET IT'S ACT TOGETHER ON DOING DVDs THE RIGHT WAY?!!!! lol My prediction: They'll clean this disc up and re-release it in a few months. Save your money, and buy the cleaned-up version when it comes out.
