…hell everythings bigger except unusually the ego's in this stylish, classy sometimes poetic sometimes poinigant documntary from Stacy Peralta the director of those skateboarding classics Dogtown and Z-Boys. Here Peralta swaps the skate for the surf in this daring ten to fifteen metre high big wave, coil riding extraveganza.
"Riding Giants is a film that presents surfing with a context, and a film that I hope answers one of the main questions which has always plagued surfing: why people devote their entire lives to the pursuit of riding waves."Other films in the Feature Films:

Film-making like this is a rare experience. This movie tells of nature as life itself. Set in a timeless Aboriginal land, culture and landscape , we are lead through a beguiling story… “And there's plenty happens in this story…there's a stranger comes and one of them wives goes missin' and there's a man with a belly big as a mountain. There's sorcery and magic too, and a wrong spear in the wrong body, and more spears and bad spirits. And even that's not everything that's happening in this story.”
