史上有關衝浪的五部最佳影片(中英對照)

Endless Summer followed CAlifornian longboarders Mike Hynson and Robert August chasing summer around the world, surfing in Africa, Australia, New Zealand and strange backwash waves in Tahiti.

Highlight: Discovering Cape Saint Francis, also known as ‘Bruce’s Beauties‘ in South Africa. Hynson and August rode seemingly endless, perfect right handers down the point. All the More important now that the wave no longer breaks as it did in the movie due to large scale development on the nearby dunes.

《無盡之夏》（The Endless Summer）（或譯爲《漫長夏日》），1966年兩個來自加州的年輕人，羅伯特·奧古斯特（Robert August）和邁克·漢森（Mike Hynson），爲了找到他們心目中完美的海浪而進行了一次環球旅行。他們的足跡遍佈夏威夷、西非直至澳大利亞。

最佳場景：兩個年輕人經過長途跋涉終於找到了完美的海浪。雖然很小，但相當完美，而且一浪接一浪，似乎永遠不會停息。導演布魯斯·布朗（Bruce Brown）本人在踩着衝浪板、保持平衡的同時，抱着攝像機拍下了45秒鐘的衝浪鏡頭。此外，一些真正的衝浪選手也參與了該片的拍攝工作。

2. Morning of the Earth (1971)
On the first day, Uluwatu was two feet high. Falzon came back the next day with his ragtag crew and surfed, without legropes, eight to ten foot swells all day long. The Balinese, who had never seen surfing before, apparently watched in awe from the cliffs.

But the Uluwatu sequence was just one part of an extraordinary movie that documented the experimental, hippie-inspired era that surfing went through in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The best example was footage of Chris Brock at Angourie in New South Wales, who, in between surfs, lived in a tree house in the bush.

Highlight: The opening sequence of a golden backlit wave breaking in slow motion, with the title track playing in support. Perhaps the most famous opening of any surf movie.

2、《陸地的早晨》（Morning of the Earth），1971年
如果沒有噴氣式滑水車、衛星影像和涌浪預報的幫助，現在有多少衝浪題材的電影敢說自己發現了一個完美的浪濤。

這部電影描述了衝浪者與自然和諧相處，它們遊走澳大利亞東北部海岸、巴厘島和夏威夷以找尋完美的海浪。

最佳場景：開場時衝浪者從金色背景的海浪中以慢動作衝進觀衆的視野，鏡頭逐步推進。也許這是所有衝浪題材電影中最有名的開頭。

Twenty years on from Morning of the Earth, surfing had become a marketable ests were fought out between robotic pro surfers doing four turns to the beach in bad cinematographer Jack McCoy took it back to basics – unrestrained free surfing in some of the best waves on the planet. Occy, Luke Egan, ‘Munga’ Barry and a bunch of Billabong team riders rode giant tubes and tore huge hacks on waves in Australia, Hawaii and Indonesia. Best of all it was captured in glorious 16mm film.

《綠色鬣鱗蜥》（The Green Iguana），1992年
自從《陸地的早晨》（Morning of the Earth）上映後，衝浪成爲一個很有賣點的產品。衝浪運動電影攝影師傑克·麥考伊（Jack McCoy）試圖還原其基本面目——歐克西、盧克·艾根、芒戈·巴里（Occy, Luke Egan, ‘Munga’ Barry）等衝浪者在澳大利亞、、夏威夷和印度尼西亞乘風破浪。

4. Momentum (1992)
It’s hard to believe rookie filmmaker Taylor Steele‘s breakthrough hit was produced in the same year as The Green Iguana. Steele eschewed perfect waves and exotic locations in favor of choppy editing, a raucous punk sound track and footage of New School surfers led by then 19 year old Kelly Slater.

《衝勁》（Momentum），1992年
很難相信電影製作新手泰勒·斯迪利（Taylor Steele）的作品在《綠色鬣鱗蜥》（The Green Iguana）上映的同年獲得突破性的成功。斯迪利在片中習慣性地避開了完美的海浪和異域風情。

5. Stranger Than Fiction (2008)
This is as good as it gets. Even if Taylor Steele’s latest effort didn’t go on to become a classic like the other movies in this list, it’s important because it shows where surfing is at right now.

《奇幻人生》（Stranger Than Fiction），2008年
這部影片可爲盡善盡美。即使泰勒·斯迪利（Taylor Steele）最近的努力沒有像這份榜單中的其他影片一樣成爲經典，重要的是它展現了目前衝浪在哪裏。
