Liquid
Stage: The Lure of Surfing looks
beyond stereotypes to explore the evolution of the surfing culture.
Through interviews, archival footage, and recent surfing footage, Liquid
Stage explores the development of surfing "style" from its
Hawaiian roots to the present commercial attitude in competition. Surf legends such as Greg Noll and Mickey Munoz share their stories from the Golden Age of Surfing and recent legend Brad Gerlach explains his approach to style and competition. Board shapers describe the evolution of the surfboard - its sculpture and design, and surfing publisher and historian Steve Pezman helps du to see the events and forces that have influenced the changes in surfing. Intercut with these interviews is archival footage from John Severson, Bud Browne, Greg Noll, and Bruce Brown, as well as recent footage shot by surfing cinematographer Jeff Neu. |
