riding giants

Late Saturday night, Miss Ai, HK and I headed to Roppongi Hills and their theaters, which show movies until early morning on the weekends. "Riding Giants" was just beginning, and this definitely is a movie to see on the big screen, as opposed to on a tiny one built into each seat on a trans-pacific flight, which is where I originally saw it. But even then, I really loved the movie; it was even better the second time around. I have never surfed in my life, and am frankly afraid of the ocean, but I love watching these free spirited people talk about surfing like it was the best thing since fire. It's a funny movie, too, with a cool soundtrack (especially love "Gymnopedies" during one of the long surfing scenes). That's surfing superstar Laird Hamilton on what was apparently one of the biggest, craziest waves that anyone has ever surfed.
