I Love Surfing Documentaries on Blu!

[Bluray_ne1]

As a former surfer myself, I really enjoy watching surfing documentaries. I own "Step Into Liquid", which is awesome (7.1 DTS HD-MA), but so far it's the only one that I know of on Blu. My favorites are "Riding Giants" and "Billabong Odyssey", which I have recorded on my DVR, but I really would like to see these in 1080p and lossless audio.

Some might say, "How many surfing shows do you need? They're are all the same." But those three shows are just a taste of the many different aspects of surfing styles, personalities and history.

• "Riding Giants" is a tremendous feature on the history of Big Wave surfing, the colorful characters who started it all and the innovative crop of professionals who continue its traditions today.

• "Billabong Odyssey" documents a group of surfers who travel around the world looking for the knarliest swells the oceans have to offer.

• Whereas, "Step Into Liquid" is a kind of world promotional tour, with surfers who use the sport to promote good will, appreciation of the ocean and the freedom that surfing inspires, with people in other countries.

For example, three surfers travel to Ireland to surf and promote the sport to kids from both Catholic and Protestant communities. Normally separated by their differences, the kids realize that a common love of the ocean and the joy of surfing can be used to promote peaceful coexistence between them. It's more than just a "surfing show". You really come away from it with a positive feeling.

I can't get enough of them. Bring on the surfing Blu's!!
