    Colorful

    Everything, from start to finish, was well put together and I simply loved this short. You can clearly see the passion and hard work for editing by the crisp sceneries and level of details when it comes to overall appearance. The story is easy to digest and the perfect shots truly make it seem natural and flowing in a very normal way. The dialogue wasn't cheesy, thing that I also liked, and it had a continuity, easily guiding the viewer trough the documentary. Probably one of the most captivating shorts I've ever watched.

    Endless.. Winter?

    Endless Summer, but in Iceland. Not since my time living in Canada have I felt so cold.

    Some amazing cinematography. The beautiful Icelandic scenery was worth the watch. If I wasn't watching in awe of Iceland, then I was constantly wondering how the surfers were surviving being in the water during such freezing temperatures.

    Was kind of inspiring, in that here are a bunch of guys who won't let anything (crazy weather included) get in the way of them pursuing their dreams, doing what they love.

    On the flip side, they came across a bit full of themselves, and would've clearly put the lives of innocent people at risk should they have got themselves in trouble, or worse.

    Beutiful photography, confusing timeline.

    If for nothing else it is worth watching for the scenes. But as an icelander it is also rather difficullt since they are talking about a trip to the westfjords while showing clips from other parts of the country at the same time. The narrator seems to ignore this and talks about stopping for a wave thats hundreds of miles to the east of their route.

    Incredible

    Spectacular imagery and editing. It was intriguing, mesmerizing, and inspiring. One of the most well-edited pictures I have ever seen.

    Crazy surfing conditions.

    You don't really have to be a surfer to enjoy this well made documentary. For that there are enough splendid nature shots, always nice to watch snowy landscapes when you live somewhere like me where it's always warm. I wouldn't trade it for the world, hate being cold, hate being in the snow, but watching it is something different. At one point they mention that they're almost the only ones to do what they do and that just says it all. You have to be a bit weird to look for this kind of adventure, it's not the kind of surfing I would do if I would surf. When you think about surfing you think about sun and beaches, but never would anybody 'normal' go for the harsh elements they chose to surf. It's well filmed and documented, good cinematography, I only wished they would have shown some pictures they took from the surfer and the Northern Lights.
