“Some like it wet” 1963
A documentary about the surfing scene in California in the late ’50s and early ’60s. A style quote of the Californian surfAGE of those years. Pure nihilistic punk essence.

“pure fun, young till i die”
“Brittown” 2009 

The Californian cafe racer scene has never been more alive, with the small machine shops improvised inside garages from the coast between San Francisco and San Diego, with the passion for the old bikes, manifesting on the racetracks for fun or during barely-legal races.
“Glass Love” 2004
Is a movie about the new attitude for modern surfing, showing the evolution that is taking place in the Californian surf scene through a new, more classical and more folk awareness.
“On Any Sunday” 1971

An American Documentary, directed by Bruce Brown who describes the passion for motorcycling, especially the one of non-professional riders, those people who gather in the underground, dirty racetracks having fun and spending time with family or friends. This passion was in a certain way a cultural split in American society during those years.
“Longer” 2000
An in-depth look on surfing by Joel Tudor, a leading exponent of the international classic scene, one of the best and most respected longboard surfers ever. 
Joel uses 10.0 feet long up to by 7.0 feet surboards, sneaking inside pipes or surfing soft waves.
Full of style.
