Surfing Hollow Days : 2 of 5
6.02.2000
5:47 PM | Link
Continuing with my Bruce Brown marathon, Surfing Hollow Days (a pun on hollow waves and holidays) was made in 1960-61. All of the scenery and shots are fantastic, but Bruce or someone picked the worst music possible for this one. Once you get past that, there are some really memorable scenes - footage of the very first two rides at Pipeline (which we discover that Bruce helped name!), plus the usual silly stuff, including some old dude using a kit to look like a surfer - including clothes, tanning paint, and bumps for his feet! There is also a terrifying shot of a complete shadow of a shark inside a wave while some guy surfs past in Australia. Lots of fun, but it gets two stars because of the music alone.
