Most of the surf movies that I watch are shot with a 16mm camera. It is amazing the feel that this film gives to the movie. It just fits and works. "step into liquid" uses more cutting edge technology that does not capture the essence of the wave or the ride. Somehow the 16mm comes the closest to really representing what is happening on the wave.
Most of the films are filled with sections where the surfers paint up an old car or broken down trailer or something. It is cool to see there pursuit of changing something discarded to a piece of art. This is represented in "step into liquid" when 3 surfers surf in Ireland. The natives look at the ocean as something that is cold and dead and these surfers bring it to life.
