Their boards are bigger, their waves are bigger, their teeth are bigger, their hair is bigger, their butts are bigger...

...hell everythings bigger except unusually the ego's in this stylish, classy sometimes poetic sometimes poinigant documntary from Stacy Peralta the director of those skateboarding classics Dogtown and Z-Boys. Here Peralta swaps the skate for the surf in this daring ten to fifteen metre high big wave, coil riding extraveganza.


"Riding Giants is a film that presents surfing with a context, and a film that I hope answers one of the main questions which has always plagued surfing: why people devote their entire lives to the pursuit of riding waves."
