Summary: It's ok...don't believe ALL the hype.
Review: Ok. First things first, I was sold by the hype that this was the greatest thing on DVD since...well, since whatever. But take a look at the cheesed-out cover. You can't always judge a book by it's cover, but this one comes pretty close.

What you get is this. You get a lot of hand-held videocamera type of filming. It's decent, but it's got that totally home-movie look. The comparisons to Endless Summer...totally unfounded. No way, no how.

If you're looking for fantastic surf films on DVD, there are so many to choose from now. Maybe all the praise for this came about as a result of this being one of the first dvd surf films around. The makers of this movie where in the right time at the right place...and knew successful marketing. Beyond that, it's just ordinary. I had a copy and gave it away if that tells you anything. As a surfer of more than 20 years, that's something I would have never seen myself doing.

In short, very amateur footage, very mediocre production.

Hope I haven't come off as too critical of this. I support most anything that has to do with our beloved sport and its members, but this one just seems too hastily put together by the kids of the Audio-Video club of your local high school.

Summary: The most comprehensive look at "hot dog" surfing.
Review: Super Slide is the first original surf film available on DVD technology. Not only is this the most comprehensive coverage of the sport, but the stereo sound track and high resloution image makes this title a reel stocker for any one who may step foot on 9 feet of foam and fiberglass. Super Slide travels the globe insearch for the hottest surfers at the meccas of the sport. The profiles and action footage are the most vivid images of the sport. A must for every DVD player near the beach.

Summary: Super Slide is Great!
Review: Super Slide rules in so many ways, excellent video quality, fantastic longboarding sessions and a fine balance of dialog and music.

As far as I know, this is the first high quality DVD that is a surf film. Great opening shot. Can't wait for the next one.

Summary: The best surf video (dvd) in years
Review: The action is fantastic. This is the BEST I've seen in years. Takes off where "Endless Summer" ends. I'm hungry for more long board adventures from this crew.

Summary: Great Longboarding
Review: This is one of the best small wave longboarding videos i've ever seen ... It's got great footage, and also many features (interviews, musci videos) that you can watch separetly ...... I f you like longboarding and don't matter watch mostly small waves surfing, this is definetely worth buying ! ps : Joel Tudor is the best longboard surfer of the 90's !
