Thanks to Dana Brown's delightful Step Into Liquid, the surfing scene in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, should get a healthy boost. That's because Brown, in the tradition of his father, filmmaker Bruce Brown (The Endless Summer), has captured dazzling images of surfers riding curls in some of the world's most exotic--and sometimes unlikely--places. Besides the action on Lake Michigan, Brown leads us to Costa Rica, where the sport's senior elite (including Summer star Robert August) prove they still have the moves, and Oahu's North Shore, where the legendary Pipeline inspires this quote: "It's so scary, maybe you die a little." Most entertaining is a segment in County Donegal, where the American Malloy brothers startle the locals and meet their Irish counterparts on the grayest ocean imaginable. Great personal stories here, including the tale of Northern California's Dale Webster, who has never missed a day on the waves in 30 years. --Tom Keogh

You don't have to like surfing August 11, 2008
Since the trailer, I was always intrigued with this film. I never saw it in theater, but when it came out on DVD, I finally decided to watch it. WOW.
Not only the filming is beautiful if not spectacular, but the story telling is excellent. It is to me one of the best docufilm ever made, because it holds for start to end, and there are no egos portrayed here, just passionate people in love with nature.
The Blu-Ray version adds to the picture quality dimension of it, even though some of the interviews are a bit out of focus (the betrayal of the the high definition world), but it isn't enough to spoil such a brilliant motion picture.
I can watch this over and over again, and as a video editor, I'm always learning something new every time about it's production, but also never get tired of the beautiful images and the great soundtrack throughout the film (Heavy Metal songs free ;-)
So I highly recommend this feature, it is always fascinating to watch!
 Get "Stoked" by this great surfing video July 10, 2008
Awesome video for surfing lovers and anyone interested in surfing. I was inspired to buy this after watching endless summer 2 on cable tv and was not disappointed in the least bit.
liquid gold! July 7, 2008
Loved it! really captures the spirit of surfing and the surfer. I watched this with my kids who are surfing beginners and they loved it. Some great shots and a nice mix of locales.
Gorgeous. July 2, 2008
This film is beautifully photographed and in some very exotic places.
The surfing is breathtakingly beautiful and so exciting you hold your breath. The surfers are good looking too.
Amazing Footage, great interviews, but the soundtrack sucks June 15, 2008
I love the footage! The photography is amazing, and the famous surfers in the documentary were very disarming and modest. There's a real sense of camaraderie, and no one seemed to have a big head.
My only criticisms are that the music is awful, and it would've been cool to hear the waves crashing instead of the cheesy music in some parts. Overall, it's very enjoyable. Even my sister loved it (and she is not at all interested in surfing! Well, she wasn't before Step Into Liquid!)
