Sports reviews of Sipping Jetstreams Surf DVD Video

Customer Review: Lush, vivid cinematography
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I first heard mention of this film a year and a half ago, in a "preview" blurb in some magazine in a waiting room. Suffice to say I was thrilled to finally get my copy. I was expecting something along the lines of Step Into Liquid, so it took me about 20 minutes to really get into it. If you're a fan of Baraka, or any of the Qatsi films, you'll probably enjoy this film, but the lack of narration, commentary, or dialogue might put some viewers off. If you can look past that, though, it becomes a photo-documentary (to music) about our relationship with nature and with each other. I can't say I fell in love with the soundtrack right away, but nevertheless it warrants a solid 5-star rating. Despite all odds the directors succeed brilliantly, conveying beauty, the human connection, and even humor, and everything I felt was "missing" could be found in the Bonus features (director commentary, behind the scenes, etc).

Point of interest: The segment in Cuba is particularly demonstrative of the perfect juxtaposition of music and imagery.
