A bodyboarding movie is always a collection of unrideable waves, impossible maneuvers, stunning inverted airs, and crazy wipeouts. A bodyboard film is the achievement of the impossible. Riders take the most extreme waves in the world in the harshest conditions possible.
That's why the best bodyboarding movies ever remain in the memory of consecutive generations. Much of the boogie footage has been shot when VHS and Beta were the top domestic film recording formats.
Selecting the best films ever published in the bodyboarding world is always an unfair mission, but there are certainly a few movies that must be highlighted.
In the last 30 years, some names have changed bodyboarding forever and have become riding and living legends.
Mike Stewart, Paul Roach, Guilherme Tâmega, Keith Sazaki, Ben Severson, Michael Eppelstun, Andre Botha, Damian King, Ben Player, Jeff and Dave Hubbard, Uri Valadao, and Amaury Laverne are some of the world bodyboarding champions featured in these movies.
