Creative HD cinematography, insane North Shore surfing, and a positive message unlike any other make The Seven Mile Miracle the surf film to see! Craig Hoffmann (The Freddy P. Project- Interrogation) in association with Walking on Water and Truth Soul Armor present- The Seven Mile Miracle. The phrase Seven Mile Miracle describes the celebrated and revered stretch of coastline on the North Shore of Oahu in Hawaii. The North Shore of Oahu has always been the focal point of surfing; it is the capital of the surfing world, the place where the best surfers in the world come to challenge themselves in the greatest waves in the world. This film takes us on a journey of discovery into the heart of The Seven Mile Miracle--and ultimately to the heart of the Creator of it all. Starring: The North Shore of Oahu and The Surfers Who Charge It!

Chasing Dora is the story of three California surfers who decided to bring to life an epic challenge thrown down by one of surfing's greatest stylists, the renowned maverick, Miki Dora, who died in 2002 at age 67. Dora was one of the sport's iconic figures. He railed against the commercialization of surfing, yet endorsed one of the best-selling surfboard models of the mid-'60s surf boom; he decried competitive surfing, yet still chose to enter some, and floated schemes to promote others; he shunned publicity, yet managed to use the surf media to create an almost mythic persona for himself. Chasing Dora takes on one of his radical ideas--that the ultimate test of a truly great surfer would be in a contest for the longest wave ridden, on a self-made wooden board, with no equipment or accessories that stemmed from the industrial age--no plastics, no neoprene suits, no surf leashes. The challenge took the film's stars, Robert "Wingnut" Weaver, Marc Andreini, and Mickey Munoz, halfway around the world to Jeffreys Bay, South Africa, where they faced some of the largest swells of the year on their hand-made wood boards, wearing nothing but wool trunks and vests in frigid 50 degree water. But Chasing Dora is not just a film of retro whimsy. By a fortunate coincidence, the crew arrived at Jeffreys Bay just after a top-flight World Championship Tour event and many top pro surfers had stuck around to enjoy freesurfing in the fantastic conditions. Amazing contemporary action from World Champions Kelly Slater and Andy Irons stands in stark contrast to Dora's anachronistic challenge.

This year we got to follow from up the very first GLOBE WCT FIJI--voted best surf contest on the planet by the ASP surfers--with another event blessed with filthy surf and standout performances. Dubbed the sickest event on the planet, the contest went down between May 21st and June 1st, 2006, with Damien Hobgood taking the top honors. We approached this year's event with two goals: 1. Make sure we don't mess up a good thing; and 2. Put a Globe stamp of fun on it. To this end, we spent a great deal of energy setting up the proper dynamics for all the non-surfing elements around this event, knowing the surfing was going to be sick anyway. We brought together a diverse group of commentators, with Americans Jamie Brisick, Steve Zeldin and Chris Cote mixing it up with the Aussies, Sean Doherty, Ronnie Blakey, Nathan Webster and Derek Reilly. Perhaps the most important change we made this year was the introduction of the first annual Tavamotu Challenge (the Quest for Cote's Bar Tab)--n inter-island challenge between the surfers on Tavarua (traditionally, the Americans and Hawaiians) vs. the surfers on Namotu (the Aussies). In the contest anything goes, where the contestants are judged on anything from fishing, tennis, golfing and surfing to drinking, streaking, poor sportsmanship and fool play. Coach Cote judged the whole thing and it is anything but your usual surf contest dribble.

Gonzo road trip action meets The Endless Summer as a group of surf-crazed Austrians go on the road to find new waves, adventure, and Alan Weisbecker (author of In Search Of Captian Zero). Fueled by the promise of selling their used cars for double their value at the end of the trip, the crew goes on the ultimate surf trip from Los Angeles through Mexico, El Salvador, Nicaragua, to the legendary surf destination of Pavones, Costa Rica. Part comedy, part philosophical diversion, the film investigates the myth of the surfer dude. "Employing a hardboiled Hunter S. Thompson-esque narration style crossed with a driving surf-meets-Spaghetti-Western soundtrack (masterfully scored by Herwig Maurer). this soulful 16mm film lets you ride shotgun on a 7,000-ile surfing pilgrimage, complete with flat tires, Federales and happy buzzards feasting on bloated roadkill" -Steve Barilotti, Surfer Magazine "This is the movie Bruce Brown would he made if he followed Hunter Thompson and Jack Kerouac down to Costa Rica with nothing in his boardbag but Super 8 film and Cuervo!" -David Geffner, The Surfer's Path

Drawing Lines is the story of two surfers setting out on a classic surf adventure. They've just graduated college and are looking forward to one more surf trip before moving on with their careers.Their goal is to surf every state on the east coast from the warm, sandy beaches of Florida to the cold, rocky coastline of Maine.

For as long as there have been surfers, there has been an accepted standard of what was normal of finless redwood planks in the '20s, longboards in the '60s, single-fins in the '70s, thrusters in the '80s and '90s. But today, there is no standard; there is no norm. There is only a group of surfers that are going their own way. FIN is an examination of the current state of the art, a time in surfing culture when surfers are compelled to ride whatever they want in order to facilitate a style that suits them best. FIN is a study of the end of one mentality, a look at the current epoch of surfing history, and a celebration of a time in surf culture when what you ride means nothing, but how you ride it means everything.

Each era of surfing finds its quintessential expression in the special talents of rare individuals. Jeff Hakman and Larry Bertlemann were two of the most distinctive and brilliant surfers of their times. Although they could scarcely be more different, they shared common struggles. They were the defining poles of shorthboard revolution in Hawaii. Hakman reigned as the standard of excellence from his astonishing 1965 victory (age 17) at the first Duke Kahanamoku Invitational until he drifted out of the limelight in the mid-1970s. As a boy, he faced a man's challenges: as a man his challenges were even greater. Hakman is surfing's ultimate survivor. Larry Bertlemann, a Duke winner in 1974, seeded a new school of surfing and brought low-rotation skateboard maneuvers to the waves. His belief that anything is possible helped redefine surfing performance while inspiring the paradigm-busting pool riders of Southern California's Dogtown skate scene. Two surfers, two lives, two fates in this volume of The Surfer's Journal Biographies.

Tom Curren and Kelly Slater are surfing's most important figures in the last 20 years. Both surfers dominated their eras competitively: Tom in the 80s Kelly in the 90s. Both exhibited innate natural ability and wave knowledge and between the two of them, they amassed an unprecedented nine world titles. In so doing, Curren, then Slater, lifted American professional surfing to peak from the self-doubting doldrums imposed by the brassy Australian and South African dominance in the 1970s. As World Champion, Curren was a shy and elusive yet hugely influential figure who let his brilliant wave riding do his talking. In contrast, while Slater's surfing defined a new era, on land he transcended the surf scene to become a pop culture icon on magazine covers and the world's most-watched TV series, "Baywatch."This volume of the Surfer's Journal Biographies reviews both surfers' careers with intimate perspectives that help us understand who they really are as human beings as well as great wave riders.

Gobbo and The Fish share the obvious connection of being Australian goofyfoots and both are articulate spokesmen for their sport, but that's where the comparisons end. Sprouting from the ultra-competitive Sydney scene of the late 1970s, Tom Carroll became world champion and one of the most powerful and influencial surfers to ever lay a rail into Pipeline. He remains a fit, fully engaged force in any wavescape he enters.Wayne Lynch, Carroll's senior by over a decade, broke the regularfoot stranglehold on progressive surfing in the late 1960s, inventing lines that few could follow. As a shaper, his distinctive forms remain faithful to his unique philosophy, and his overall vibe expresses a bawdy yet thoughtful intelligence that defines a paradoxical nature. Though they peaked in different eras, Carroll and Lynch are bound by a high level of fitness and a deep love of waveriding. Both stories are told in intimate, surf-stoked detail in this edition of The Surfer's Journal Biographies.

From a continent famous for producing wave upon wave of unique, fiercely individual surfers, the stories of Australians Terry Fitzgerald and Cheyne Horan are suitably emblematic. Both welcomed conditions of all sorts, worked tirelessly on experimental board design, then stylishly exited the competitive phases of their careers. That they came to prominence in separate decades proves the point further. Sydney's Terry Fitzgerald, nicknamed the Sultan of Speed in the '70s, earned a reputation based on pure lines and maximum velocity. His performances at Jeffrey's Bay and on the North Shore of Hawai'i have since earned legendary status. Cheyne Horan, also from Sydney, exploded from the junior competitive scene in the early-'80s. He went on to establish himself as a contest machine, annually dominating the professional field with one notable exception: his nemesis, Mark Richards. During this period he became a vocal proponent of civil rights, alternative living, and tow-in surfing. Join us as we delve into the histories of two of surfing's most unique and engaging personalities.
