Riding Giants |

cert 12A, 116 minutes. £ 5.00 director: Stacy Peralta with Greg Noll, Jeff Clark, John Milius |
The brainchild of documentary filmmaker and skateboarding legend Stacy Peralta, Riding Giants is the follow-up to his 2002 debut Dogtown and Z-Boys, and last week Peralta had the honour of seeing his film open up the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. Riding Giants is a documentary film in the same vein as Dogtown and Z-Boys, this time exploring the lives and passions of big-wave surfers from around the globe, though centering primarily on three epochs of big-wave surfing as seen through the eyes of their chief proponents. These epochs being early big-wave discovery on the North Shore with Greg Noll, the discovery of Maverick's with Jeff Clark, and the tow-in revolution with Laird Hamilton. |
