world body surf

[lauralh]

Just watched Endless Summer, the classic surf movie. I don't really care about surfing - most of what I know I learned from Beach Boys lyrics and Fast Times At Ridgemont High - but I know how to skateboard and I can appreciate how fucking hard it seems to surf. Anyway these two guys go to East Africa, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand in search of perfect waves, and it's all very entertaining thanks to the narrator and scenery. Oh, and Tahiti. I am dying to go to New Zealand, as every time I see it in a movie it is invariably gorgeous. But I also want to go to some beach somewhere in the world where it's gorgeous and blue and green and there's almost no people. That's my idea of heaven. (Seattle beaches are not very pleasant but there are few people, which I enjoy.)
