Synopsis
An extreme sports spectacle, BILLABONG ODYSSEY is a documentary from director Philip Boston that tracks the progress of a season-long contest that challenged some of the world's most daring surfers to ride the biggest waves they could find. Their ultimate goal was to seek out and conquer a 100-foot crest. These athletes used any means available to find the biggest waves, tracking them with scientific equipment and using boats or helicopters to get to the right starting spot. The resulting footage provides a wild adrenaline rush.

Customer Reviews

The best surf flick since endless summer
I bought this dvd and watch it with a bunch of mates. We all surf and have decided that it awesome!! The camera shots, the waves, the riders are all amazing. From start to finish this is an action packed film showing the biggest waves ridden by a group of surfers. Not only does the film show you them riding the waves it has the whole run up to them getting there.This includes there training(which is nuts), them travelling and the planning. If you are one of those people who like to see stacks as well this film has some of the biggest!! This is a must have for all surfers to add to there collection and even if you don't surf this is still a great flick.
Trust me we spent hours watching it over and over again,everytime you get more and more stoked to watch it again or just get out there.

Breath-taking
Over two hours of the most amazing surf footage ever seen, as a group of Billabong riders tavel the world in search of the biggest wave ever ridden. The film reaches its climax at a surf competition at the notorous 'Jaws' spot in Hawaii, with the winner riding a wave which is over 70 feet high! Truly breath-taking.

Just the intro alone will blow you away
I loved this film I sometimes get sick of seeing surf films that don't make you think or just show some surfer sitting on a wave. The scenes, stories and interviews will blow you away! In my opinion a surf film needs a hook to make it stick out, some culture, some background and depth, and this has got it all and more. Totally unique. You'll love it, buy it!
