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!

I really didn't expect to be so captivated by this docuseries, but the footage is phenomenal and the dynamics captured brings a lot of great energy. Garrett, Cotty, and Al Mennie are captivating subjects and are who I was personally most immediately drawn too, but every person involved really is intriguing, especially the dynamic between Garrett and his wife Nicole.

I highly recommend this to both surfer and non-surfers alike, as the footage really is enough to lure people in on its own.

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

The 100 foot wave is watching this perfect documentary. Unfortunately kids are too busy watching RealHousewives or whatever else crap there is on TV/Netflix. Thank you for HBO. Kept the quality coming.

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

Well done.
