Riding Giants

The American surfing culture and the advent of big wave challenges are recorded with enormous detail and affection in this spirited documentary, chosen as the opening night film at last year?s Sundance Film Festival because of its undeniable crowd-pleasing vibe. Placing footage of some of the sport’s most spectacular, board-breaking waves along side interviews with the daredevils who ride them, the film offers a highly engaging immersion into a culture of larger-than-life west coast characters driven by their thrill-seeking instincts.

Two thumbs up. – Ebert and Roeper
