I have to confess I'm not a 'camera' person-- I'm probably like most of you reading this-- just looking for a good camera that takes good pictures. We've had this camera for about a month, and honestly I'm not impressed so far. I had a Nikon before this one that was 4 years old and I accidently brok

I got this pick and it has really been everything I wanted it to be. I like the heavy picks because you can use them on the guitar for a nice clear almost ringy tone and you can take it and use it on the bass too. Also, the Fender 351, well it's a classic shape and it's pretty easy to hold.

pretty nice
12/22/2007
This is a great dvd for first-timer. If you're already an intermediate surfer, this dvd won't help you.
It's short but Andy tells you everything you need to surf a wave. From equipement selection to beginner turns. And its quit funny too! I was a bit desappointed by the equipement. Andy just does the comparaison between a soft and a normal board and give us a few advices on the accessories.
But still worth buying it!

Total waste of money
4/11/2007
This video is so completely devoid of information and/or instruction, that not only did I want my twenty bucks back, but I wanted the half-hour of my life back that I took to watch it. No joke. Take ONE surf lesson anywhere, and you will get 50x more out of it. I'm sure there are other, better video choices out there as well. This one is really lousy.

The WORST video I have ever seen
1/9/2007
This movie is a joke. I didn't think a human being could possibly be this sub-moronic; but Andy Irons has achieved a new low. If you are so stupid that you can't figure out the difference between the nose and the tail of the board, then this movie is perfect for you. The whole thing is worthless. Andy Irons is obviously a great surfer; you can't argue with that. But as a former world champion, he should be very embarrassed to have his name associated with probably the worst instructional film for any sport ever created.

great video
5/23/2006
Great instructional video! Andy and his sidekick are surprisingly friendly, funny and perfect for explaining the basics of begining surfing. Beautifully shot in Hawaii and had me wanting to get in the water immediately. Good production value. I also like how they incorporate archival footage of Andy as a child in addition to funny skits which make learning to surf less intimidating than some of the other videos I have seen. Definintely worth the $20.

Could Help a Beginner
5/22/2006
This video could help a beginner with a few useful tips, but I'm not sure any film could replace hands-on instruction. Aside from that, all-in-all, fairly watchable and mildly amusing. Also some nice shots of the Hawai'ian surf.

It opens with a brief recap of Andy's surfing accomplishments before going into the instruction. Frankly, Andy seems a little more comfortable on a surfboard than in front of a camera explaining how to do it. His goofy sidekick does most of the talking and tries a little too hard to be funny, but its ok because you know he's only trying to make it watchable.

They cover really the basics, from standing up on a board for the first time on the sand, to some nice board-mounted (surfboard cam) shots of Andy Irons popups in the water. Not the greatest production quality in terms of video quality, directing, filming, script, etc. -- sometimes it looks like they just set up a cheap video camera and told the guys to talk -- but, nonetheless, I found it funny to watch and you get to see a great surfer's technique in action, albeit on small waves.

As far as instructional value, it depends on your level. If you already surf a lot, it will be rehash. But for someone who hasn't been out before, it certainly couldn't hurt and might provide some useful tips. I did some pausing, slow-mo and rewind of a few critical areas, such the board-cam shots. I even re-watched the section about properly tieing the leash cord to the board.

Like I said, it couldn't hurt for a beginner, although there's no real replacement for a hands-on surfing lesson.
