LAIRD
The footage shocked the world. Had it not been captured, no one would believe it was possible, but there it was. Conformed in the vortex of the heaviest wave ever ridden, Laird Hamilton stood where no man has ever stood before. It was a moment shadowed only by the journey of his life as a waterman and an explorer of the most pure form of energy on earth.

STRAPPED
For Years, big wave riders have watched massive waves break on the outer reefs. The physical size and the speed of these waves prevented conventional equipment and surfing techniques…but in 1992, eight watermen formed Strapped. Their goal was to develop a strategy which would enable them to safely break this barrier. Tow-In surfing would be realized on one of the biggest waves in the world, and you’ll be there to see it all!

Purchase Riding Giants

An insider’s look at the origins of surfing, the colorful and subversive birth of surf culture, and the mythology and lure of the “big wave.” This passionate and fluid film is the first authentic history of surfing from its humble Hawaiian beginnings to the big business it became to the still rebellious universe it inhabits today. A study in individuality and freedom, the pursuit and techniques of pure kinetic pleasure, and the risk taking and attitudes that characterize its leading figures. Closely chronicling the sometimes-life-and-death drama that big-wave riding entails, the film is a visual thrill ride. But also revealed is the realization that the man versus nature dialectic never ends; the search for the ultimate wave and the spiritual pinnacle can only be pursued but never reached.

Starring: Laird Hamilton, Jeff Clark, Greg Noll
Director: Stacy Peralta

Owen Glieberman Entertainment Weekly – “A bedazzling trip through the history of Big Wave surfing.”
