If you love to surf, or are a wannabe surfer, if you dig 3D flicks or like well made docos then you'll enjoy this short flick (must see at Imax). My review will be a little skewed as I saw this just after returning from Samoan paradise and this just brought it all back. Plus, watching the Kman sway and gasp when the tubes curled towards us was thoroughly amusing, so that added to my enjoyment. Then there's the piercing blue eyes, 6 pack and elegant style of Kelly, the natural vibe and surf expertise of the family he surfs with and the intimacy this film allows with it's on-the-road-for-The-Search-with-Kelly style. There were some animated bits that were a tad superfluous and interrupted the flow at times. It's hard to imagine that this is how a surfer's life can be, but having just lived it to some extent in Samoa I can tell you, this gets you close to the feeling of the eternal Search and the rewards that come if you wait, wait, wait. See it with a surfer or go and wipe out at Bondi or Tama to get in the zone. 3.5/5
