Wake Up 2
Tiago Garcia
I’m a huge fan of DIY surf flicks, especially ones that have a message. Our friend Tiago Garcia, maker of Wake Up, has just released Wake Up 2, and it’s a great watch. Wake Up, meaning, wake the f—k up and try to do something about the environment. Narrated by CJ Hobgood and starring everybody from Damien H, Bobby M, Kerrzy, and the rest of the Top 44, this indie-shred flick is refreshing and old-school—worth checking out for sure.

100% Surfing Techniques Volume 2
There aren’t many learn to surf videos on the market, so when a new one comes out, I always like to check it out. 100% Surfing Techniques Volume 2 is a great example of a learn to surf video done well. There are 20 different sections for both forehand and backhand, and for goofies and regulars. The best part is the sexy British voice that narrates the video and gives you the surf tips. Want to surf better? This video can actually help. Head to here to pick up a copy.
Still Filthy
Billabong
Two words: Wade Goodall. He pretty much shreds this video to pieces, but the rest of the team doesn’t disappoint in any way. Billabong has one of the most dominant teams ever, and this movie clearly illustrates that point. Filthy Habits was made 21 years ago, and its offspring, Still Filthy, holds up to the O.G. version—and yes, Occy is still ripping! Two thumbs up high for this one—you will get psyched to surf after you watch it. Head to Billabong.com for more.
Sounds Of Waves
Monumental Films
Music and surfing have always been good bedfellows, and this movie digs deep into that relationship. Featuring Donavon ripping in El Salvador, Damien Wills charging as hard as anyone on Earth, and so much more—this movie should be in your DVD player today. Sounds Of Waves is an independent gem that has a great vibe and a cool message. Head to monumentalfilms.com for more.
Taylor Knox—Surf Exercises
Ten Stories
Why do you need a DVD of “surf exercises”? I’ll tell you why, ’cause you don’t surf good enough to think that you don’t. Taylor Knox and his trainer Paul Hiniker have put together a program to help you surf better, be more flexible, strengthen your core, and get a body like Taylor’s (yes, he’s ripped). As much as we want to make fun of this flick, we can’t, it actually works and there’s no excuse why not to get it and follow the workout—get ripped and go rip.
