100 Foot Wave

Rarely does television bring me to tears. This series has done so several times. Tears of joy, defeat, agony, and fear. I have long wanted to FEEL what it is like to big wave surf - the power, speed, exhilaration, physicality, and fright. I finely have an inkling, due to the superb cinematography, deft editing and sound design, and sublime Philip Glass score. Glass' music raises this documentary filmmaking from excellent to extraordinary.

I usually watch movies and television with calm attention. Throughout '100 Foot Wave,' however, I often found myself cheering, clapping, and gasping at the screen.

Bravo!

This is a must see, doesn't matter if you like surf or not. Very well made documentary 👍

Well done.

Anyone into surfing or extreme sports get on this 👍👍👍

What an incredible show. I have always been both fascinated and intimidated by surfing and surfers. I grew up skateboarding, but the ocean and the waves... that's something very different and this documentary-series just... I don't know, moved and inspired me deeply. To know that these incredible guys and gals are out there, chasing the next big wave, living their lives dreaming about that next huge swell and how they are going to ride it, puts a smile on my face. A wave is something so beautiful and pure and a surfer riding it, is the perfect expression of what it means to be human... at its/her/his best. No show/ movie I have ever seen about surfing as captured it as beautifully as "100 Foot Wave". Hats off and hang loose!

As a non adventurous couch surfer living in the desert, I found this documentary fascinating and beautiful. However the ending sucked so bad I honestly didn't even realize it was the end, tried to go back to watch next episode and was bummed. Love Cotty, hope he finally gets The Wave and credit he deserves.
