A Sea for Yourself
A stunningly photographed celebration of the beauty and joy of surfing. Many of the world's best surfers of the 1970's take on the best waves of California, France, Peru, and Hawaii. This documentary uses surfing footage from all over the world. Rock music on the soundtrack, and occasional narration, illustrate the surfer culture, emphasizing that the growing popularity of the sport in the 1970s caused overcrowding, which made solitary rides more difficult.

Well-known surfers featured include: J. Riddle, M. Dora, Gerry Lopez, Barry Kanaiaupuni, Jeff and Gary Chapman, Jeff Hakman, Mike Miller, Jean-Louis Bianco, Bernard Capdepont, Keith Beddoe, Eric Taylor, Graham Nile, Gordon Burgis, Terry Fitzgerald, Jack Baxter, Mike Armstrong, Tiger Makin, Rico Fontes, Rabo Maurtua, Paulinho Proenza, Becky Benson, Blanche Benson, Larry Bertelmann, Michael Ho, Jeff Crawford, Reno Abellira, Angie Reno, James Jones, Gopher, Owl and Corky. —Anonymous
