Clip description

On Oahu’s north shore, some of the best competitive surfers in the world take off on winter’s big surf.

Curator’s notes

This is much more of the feel of a conventional surf movie – big waves and big rides – but even so, Falzon’s camerawork is interested in the nuances and dramas unfolding on the waves, as in the sequence with two riders warily riding the same wave.
