Summary: Disappointing
Comment: Just bought 5 Summer Stories and while we enjoyed the film clips, much of the orginal music was gone. What a dissapointment as this is 1/2 of the 5 summer stories. My husband is a surfer (40 yrs now) and has a lot of memorilbilla, and looked forward to getting this DVD, but was really let down by the music used (modernized). Bummer! Definately not one of his favorties in his DVD surf library.

Summary: not bad!!!!!!!
Comment: First,I dont think anyone can come close to this classic.I was on the
north shore when they were shooting some of the footage.I was in middle
school at the time;o.c. and riding my skateboard was all i did.when 5.S.S.
came out at newport mesa theatre.I saw it 3 times.What a great impression
it made.Cause, I never forgot it.Now this dvd is an updated version.
So I cant give it a top 5 stars. If they re-release the ORIGINAL I wont
think twice about 5 stars.

Summary: Timeless
Comment: As a surf shop manager, I see most everyone surf video that comes out, and yet this is still my absolute favorite. The fact is this video perfected the surf medium; good pacing, varied location, small bits of humor, and absolutely phenomenal music.
I've seen this movie hundreds of times, and yet it never gets old. Buy this, even someone who doesn't surf can still enjoy it.

Summary: Classic
Comment: One of the best surf films I have seen and, for the first time it was a little more than 30 years ago. Gerry Lopez at his best, Jeff Hackman at Sunset, lots of frames that make me go back to old issues of The Surfer. Action, sense of humour, skateboard action, good soundtrack, magic footage by Greenough... Even today a collector's piece and enjoyed by surfers that were not born when 5 Summer Stories were "told" on the screens around the world.
