Rating: 3/5 --
Clearly designed to give credit where it's due, this film spotlights the guys who broke new ground to create modern surfing. But while it's an important, interesting document, it's rather too detailed for non-surfers.

Shadows on the Wall
Rating: 3/5 --
A subject worth exploring but, whilst old footage illustrates the storyline, this doesn't manage to strecth up until the present day.
Empire Magazine
Rating: 3/5 --
Despite the group's many successes, self-pitying tears are rarely far from their eyes. It's fascinating stuff and unfathomably bleak.

London Evening Standard
Rating: 3/5 --
This impressive sports doc finds enough drama in the situation to involve a wider audience, since the archive footage of these chaps gliding through waves the size of a house is quite something.

Time Out
Although you'd expect moist eyes from bitter, fading stars desperately trying to scrawl their names in the history books, the film avoids this indignity with engaging characters, an informative narrative and tons of awe-inspiring archive footage.
Little White Lies
Rating: 3/5 --
The characters aren't quite as charismatic as the Z-Boys and the editing isn't as abrasively cool, but it does give a glimpse of how an outsider lifestyle evolved into a multibillion-dollar business.

The documentary celebrates the athleticism and creativity of the sport's unsung Nureyevs and Nijinskys.
