Short surf films: watch our carefully curated list of 50 movies | Photo: Cottonbro/Creative Commons

With summer heralding a warm embrace and the beaches beckoning all and sundry, the siren song of the surf is nearly impossible to resist.

For those who would rather spectate than participate (or simply can't find a wetsuit that accommodates a decidedly British sense of fashion), a world of cinematic treasures awaits.

A celebration of wave-riding escapades, short surf films offer a delightful paddle into a vast ocean of human drama, athletic prowess, and salt-sprayed adventure.

From the shimmering shores of Hawaii to the rugged coastlines of Cornwall, these films bring us face-to-face with nature's might, where surfers dance and dart across furious waves, not unlike an Englishman trying to navigate a sun-soaked beach with a piping hot cup of tea in hand.

While the waves themselves are the stars, it's the surfers, filmmakers, and the unending quest for the perfect ride that bring these short films to life.

So grab your board, perhaps a more agreeable armchair, and prepare to dive into a selection of 50 short surf films that aren't merely a footnote in cinema but a thrilling narrative of humanity's romance with the sea.

You don't have to be a surf enthusiast to be carried away by the tide; these films have something for everyone.

And the best part? You won't even have to get your feet wet. Alternatively, spare some time to check our list of favorite feature films about surfing.

Fear not, dear reader, you won't find any mention here of "riding the wave of life" or other such clichés.

Instead, buckle up for a genuine ride through the cinematic surf, where every wave is a story, and every splash is a melody. Hmmm... Were these last two metaphors clichés?

Just mind the undertow; it has a cheeky habit of sneaking up on you.

Kook Paradise

"Kook Paradise" is one part social commentary, one part comedy, and one heaping spoonful of reality.

"Kook Paradise" is filmed on location at Ditch Plains Beach, highlighting the surf culture in and out of the water.

It is shot in the style of the surfing films from the 1960s, bringing levity and humor to that which surrounds surfing's current popularity in NY in particular.

"Kook Paradise" is a place where all your surfing fantasies become reality. Everyone is welcome in "Kook Paradise." And remember - it's all a dream.

Directed by Danny Dimauro and Tin Ojeda.

The Dill & Beeg Project

Dillon Perillo and Brendon Gibbens spent 365 days traveling around the world.

Blue Sway

Paul McCartney recruited award-winning surf filmmaker Jack McCoy to create a music video for his previously unreleased track "Blue Sway."

Written nearly 20 years ago, McCartney's never-before-released song, "Blue Sway," is available for the first time on the bonus audio disc of the special edition of McCartney II.

The music video created by McCoy is also featured on the bonus DVD included in the set.

Jack McCoy has been capturing the surfing vision in a truly unique way.

Using a high-powered underwater jet ski, the filmmaker found that he was able to travel behind a wave, creating underwater images that have never been seen before.

McCoy spent the next six weeks creating the music video while also working full days on making "A Deeper Shade of Blue."

McCoy compiled and edited footage that he filmed off Tahiti's Teahupoo reef to create what became the "Blue Sway" video.

 

A Brief History: Terry Martin

Terry Martin's first encounters with surfing, shaping, and crashing motorcycles.

"Terry Martin is probably the best shaper to ever live. Considering he has hand shaped over 80,000 boards in his lifetime for people such as Gerry Lopez, Phil Edwards, Shawn Stussy, Hobie, Dale Velzy, Stewart, and many more".

"Terry saw the evolution of the surfboard firsthand through the shaping bay from wood to light foam. He could make anything, and it would work, whether it was a modern shortboard or noserider. He understood water flow and what a surfboard needs to do - to make a surfer have fun."

"He was the Santa Claus of shaping, joyfully hand-making all his toys for his children. Terry, you will be missed by many."

Directed by Tyler Manson.

 

Fathoms Left To Fall

A short surf film of one epic day of huge surf during March 2012 at Mullaghmore Head, County Sligo.

The yin and yang of a trip. The highs and the lows. The epic rides and the epic falls. Surfing isn't an easy game to get right. Once in a lifetime, 50-foot faces followed by an endless search for shelter.

Tides reveal dry reefs; squalls break promises. Rain dampens enthusiasm, talk of hidden secrets abound, but the wind in its infinite wisdom keeps them just that, secret.

There's no urgency; yesterday's euphoria still burns. Another trip, another day. No fathoms left to fall.

Starring Gabe Davies, Richie Fitzgerald, Fergal Smith, Tom Lowe, Ollie O'Flaherty, Eric Rebiere, Paul O'Kane, Neil Britton, Tom Butler, Sebastian Steudtner, Andrew Cotton, and Al Mennie.

A Northcore film. Directed by Chris McClean.

Music featured in the film is by Sigur Ros, Wixel, Parichayaka Hammerl, and Mark Swiderski.

 

Another Day in the Life of Wayne Lynch

Wayne Lynch is a surfing legend, blazing individualistic pathways in both the performance and the lifestyle.

Ascending during a time of great change and experimentation, Wayne took up the mantle personally, redefining what a surfboard should look like and how it should be ridden.

Much of this innovation is done outside of surfing's athletic or institutional complexes.

Today, Wayne's life is almost as it was 40 years ago. He still shapes surfboards and still lives simply by the sea.

Were it not for his recent heart attack, both the observer and Wayne himself could be forgiven for thinking things had stayed the same, despite how they had changed.

But serious jeopardy to anyone's health, our surfing heroes included, can have a way of radically altering everything underneath the surface, appearances be damned. A rebirth into the same skin.

In this two-part portrait, filmmaker Cyrus Sutton provides a window into Lynch's new life. With a nod to Jack McCoy's "Tubular Swells," "Another Day in the Life" is crafted with ultra-fine cinematography and a spare and modernist feel.

The viewer is transported back to the Wayne Lynch they grew up idolizing while making current those admirations and anchoring them in the reality of human mortality.

"I surf because... it keeps my life at an even keel. Without it, I would tip into oblivion."

 

The Surf Magazines Don't Talk About Lapsed Catholics

Directed by Todd Stewart.

Ice Board

"Ice Board," conceptualized and directed by Conn Bertish, is a short film that tells the story of Conn Bertish's remarkable visual art creation, the Ice Board.

Bertish, a Capetonian surfer, activist, and creative director, came up with the innovative idea to highlight the plight of our oceans by shaping a life-sized surfboard sculpted entirely from ice.

The board of ice is a simple metaphor for what is happening right now to all the world's glaciers and ice caps.

As this board melts, so do our glaciers and million-year-old ice caps. So we each need to take stock of how our actions are affecting the increase in global warming.

The board is a simple graphic reminder of this.

The "Ice Board" was displayed at Depasco Café in Kloof Street, Cape Town, on Wednesday, December 9, 2009.

The melting board served as a visual poem, underlining the global warming crisis in a powerful way.

Wishing they will meet many waves, many people.

 

Cactus Wagon

When "Big Wednesday" went south, so did its star, Jan-Michael Vincent. He hauled the film's screenwriter, Denny Aaberg, with him. Turns out Denny had a Super-8 Camera.

Across the border and into the hills they went. To the ag towns and bracero buses of the Valle de San Quintin. Through the sage-to-Sonoran transition zone of Rosario de Arriba.

Past the charismatic mega flora of the Valle de los Cirios. Onward through the featureless Vizcaino. And finally - finally! - to San Juanicio, Rattlesnake Point, Punta Pequena, and Scorpion Bay.

In this short film excerpted from the e-book "Big Wednesday Redux," you'll see Scorpion one year after the trans-peninsula highway was opened.

No streets, no services, no Gringo Hill. Hardscrabble, empty, and perfect. Aaberg and Vincent surfed, drank, and licked their wounds.

As the film's Matt Barlow, Jan-Michael, said, "I surf just 'cause it's good to ride with your friends."

Here's Jan - and Denny - doing just that.

 

Madera

Short surf documentary that shows the process of building an empty wooden surfboard.

With this board-building method by Tom Blake, they were made about 20 kilograms lighter than those of the 1920s, which were solid and heavier.

Dark Side of the Lens

"Darkside of the Lens" offers a surreal, ethereal, passionate, and personal glimpse into the life and motivations of an ocean-based photographer - working on a magical yet isolated, frozen, and dangerous stretch of the Irish coastline.

Indeed, the film itself becomes a visual poem of sorts, set in a mind-blowing environment of epic heavy waves, strange sea life, and monolithic stunning cliff lines.

Land, sea, and wavescapes illustrate the grandeur of this environment, and huge explosions of water bring their realities home as the photographer swims through the epicenter of it all.

Directed by Mickey Smith.

 

Abroad

Filmmaker John Lynch, known for capturing powerful surf footage around the globe, digs deeper into this film to explore how standard tourism can transcend into life-altering experiences.

Shot single-handedly by Lynch over the course of a several-week stint in Indonesia, the film chronicles the evolution of his journey.

Surfing by Kimbo, Lucas Vasquez , Jaime OʼBrien, John Florence and Pat Gudauskas.

John Lynch IV picked up a camera at age ten and never looked back. A dedicated surfer and ardent traveler, Lynch finds inspiration in the cultures and music he encounters around the globe.

He was raised on a small barrier island on the Atlantic coast of Florida, where his lifelong love affair with the ocean took root. Lynch currently lives in Los Angeles, a city he values for its rich diversity and cinematic history.

 

Uncommon Ideals.

For most people, the North Sea is a source of food, a source of fuel - oil and gas, a playground for catching waves, or simply a mass of water that needs to be navigated.

Few are aware that these cold grey waters cover a prehistoric landscape that once joined England to Europe.

Yet between 18,000 and 5,500 BC, global warming raised sea levels to the extent that this area known as Doggerland was engulfed by water, and the area that had been home to mankind disappeared.

This entire land sank beneath the North Sea. Is it this former land that we North Sea surfers now surf? We are the Doggerland groms, heavies, hippies, and kooks.

A film by Chris McClean and Mark Waters.

Surfers include Gabe Davies, Pete Eyre, John John Florence, Nathan Florence, Dylan Graves, Chris "Guts" Griffiths, Ritchie Sills, and Balaram Stack.

Epic: A Savage Journey

"Epic: A Savage Journey" is a loaded gun with its crosshairs on the ugly side of surfing.

Blustering locals, embittered soul surfers, and homophobic professionals all fall victim to their own delusions.

Follow three different surfers as they babble their way into corners of hypocrisy and self-loathing, peeling away layers of misconception and phony facades like a rotten onion until there's nothing left but a rancid surfer.

Only in this case, you'll be laughing instead of crying, unless, of course, you're the kind of surfer "Epic" portrays, then you'll be crying.
