    • Cool pod! We get to see some awesome underwater shots and are given some cool information that really gives you an appreciation for such a job (the camera itself weighs 30 pounds and costs $70,000?!). The creator did an especially good job at organizing the piece, building up the job so that by the end we realize that it's as dangerous and intense as surfing itself. A well done piece looking into a cool, widely unexplored profession.

    • Hi, this is great, I grew up surfing Killer Dana, and i was the worst goofy foot Southern California ever turned out. Gregg McGillvary and I went to High School together, there''s a great shot of him in Riding Giants I think. "Bitchin" to see guys are on the air, me too with Shadow Boxer. Surfing movies have come so far since my 9''10" Hobie days. Riding Giants and Step Into Liquid two of the best.
